==About==
I am an engineer with an MIT degree and 10 years of practical experience. My first priority is to maintain engineering pages, but sometimes I have tidbits to add to other topics. My proudest achievements so far are
* Vacuum
* Euler-Bernoulli_beam_equation
I dreamed for years of writing some kind of searchable electronic document to house my key technical knowledge - just for my own use. Now that other people are helping me in this project, (and I hope I'm helping them,) it's become a lot more worthwhile.
My first official edit was on June 5th, 2005, but I was contributing anonymously a few months before that.

If you are a lawyer, '''please''' review some of the above and make corrections and clean-up as needed. See Refactoring for help. We wikipedians will give you anything you want in return. And then you can write us a tutorial to take us through it all.
