The easy way to leave me a message, is to click and write and save! (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Dbroadwell&action=edit)
First Real edit: A friend pointed me to Wikipedia and on 03:49, 23 Dec 2003, I noticed someone linking to [[GDFL]] instead of GFDL. Fixed the link and redirected (with help) the errant [[GDFL]] to GFDL. Eventually I came back to it and cleaned up the mess the extra redirect caused, my first RfD.
500'th edit: Happened on 5 Mar 2005 Talk:Distributed computing getting ready to apply an outline to the imported articles.
The docs I keep revisiting;
- Distributed computing
- Distributed programming
- Design - Disambig
- Grape seed oil to go with christmas liters of gift oil.
- Vitis vinifera Grape Seed Oil needed grapevine linked.
- Stoicism
- MHD generator[1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MHD_generator&oldid=10238541)
- Differential_equations
Memorable edits:
- The Troll Star Edit (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Barnstars_on_Wikipedia&oldid=10536936) on Wikipedia:Barnstars on Wikipedia
- Challenging myself with MHD generator to bring it up from an orphan dead-end bablefish blockmonster (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MHD_generator&oldid=10238541) to a meaningful document. Only to discover MHD dynamo floating about and will needed to merge it in too. It lost some information to MHD drive, but is approaching encyclopedic now!
Recent task; Building Infinity tricks
Last Task; Stoicism ... is not passive.
Current task; Playing in the chem files as I review ...
Testimonial; I ignored documents for a year,
and they got better.
Wikipedia++
Future Import; Science Commons, while finishing AA.ENGR and looking forward to my joint (BSCS/BSEE) ... for example see Solar ponderings below.

Solar Ponderings
While wondering about the amount of power passing a single square meter in interplanetary areas of out solar system the following calculations took shape with the help of User:Raul654 and #wikipedia.
This assumes even distribution of solar EM radiation spherically.
Earth; A 1m^2 collector of 100% efficiency could gather 1361 Watts A 1m^2 collector of 3% efficiency could gather ~40.8 Watts Earth r = 149600000000m = 1 AU Earth B = 4 pi r^2 = (2.812 × 10^23) /m^2 EMr@Earth = E/B = 1361. Joules per second /m^2
Mercury; A 1m^2 collector of 100% efficiency would gather 9081 Watts A 1m^2 collector of 3% efficiency would gather ~294 Watts Mercury r = 57910000000m = 0.3871 AU Mercury B = 4 pi r^2 = (4.214 × 10^22) /m^2 EMr@mercury = E/B = 9081. Joules per second /m^2
Notes; Google Calculator (http://www.google.com/help/features.html#calculator), Unit Dictionary (http://www.unc.edu/~rowlett/units/) and Solar System Data (http://www.nineplanets.org/data.html) abused for calculation.
Nifty solar paper with E in it [2] (http://cosmos.phy.tufts.edu/~zirbel/ast21/handouts/Energy-of-Sun-better.PDF).
