In August 2015, I got a little job editing Wikidelphia, because Wikidelphia needed someone to pay attention to the whole project in a sustained way. One experience that qualifies me to do this job is that I started and have been gradually expanding another reference source. It's called Study Love, and it's about what I consider, and what many Near Death Experiencers call, the most important force in the entire universe: spiritual love.
Since 2011, I have volunteered at many events throughout the Phila-NJ area. Some of the ones I do regularly--and I hope you'll attend or support these--are:
- Macy's Family Fun Days at the African-American Museum in Philadelphia, a monthly where I set up and run a "toy zone", a table full of toys from my own large collection. I get a kick out of the fact that I'm often the only white guy there.
- Philadelphia Reading Olympics, a multi-day, multi-venue annual event where I act like a game show host, asking schoolchildren questions about books they've read. The organizers suggest that volunteers think in terms of Jeopardy, but I make it zany, complete with sound effects and as many laughs as I can extract.
- West Park Arts Fest, where I act like a concierge in the Children's Pavilion, making sure visitors, performers, and exhibitors have whatever they need throughout the day.
- Maple Shade Holiday Festival, where I've usually overseen the sales of feed for the petting zoo.
Something else I do on my personal time is provide five daily Twitter news-and-views services, in:
- @FruitNJ "I tweet about the fruit of the Spirit, hoping it'll help me bear some."
- @LingFan1 For linguistics, the scientific study of human language. Surprisingly, this is by far the most popular.
- @SayNo2BigGay Against the homosexualist agenda. I attack arguments, not persons.
- @NetMan3 Against malaria. "Wild about the idea of covering entire countries with nets!"
- @LifeNetNews Against poverty. "Continuing the mission of Life-Net News: Covering Poverty Widely In A Net Of Many Voices Since 1997."
Life-Net News was sometimes monthly, sometimes weekly. I selected stores from the press and elsewhere about poverty, regardless @RUCamFan For Rutgers University-Camden. "Rutgers-Camden has done so much for me! I'm massively grateful!"
From 2007 to 2014, I did clerical work, website maintenance, and various other tasks at Nonprofit Technology Resources.
