My handle (Roadmaster) came from the old Test Drive video game. I want to live here.

Wikipedia is NOT a democracy.

I'm from Mexico, although I currently live in Montreal, Canada. I'm able to help with any Mexico-related articles, of which I've contributed a few myself (see below). I'm also available to help with translation between spanish and english.

Nice articles. The ones with asterisk I started, the other ones I've added stuff to:

• French Press *
• Van Jacobson *
• Van Jacobson TCP/IP Header Compression *
• TAESA *
• World Trade Center México * (this one I'm particularly proud of; my only shame is I never found the time to take the picture myself).
• Polyforum Cultural Siqueiros *
• Torre Latinoamericana * (I can't believe I actually started this one! WHEE!)
• Pesero *
• Flans *
• Torre Mayor *
• Metro General Anaya
• Estadio Azteca

Also I have taken and uploaded some pictures, under the GFDL for use on Wikipedia and related projects.

Picture of the day

The Apennine Colossus is a stone statue, approximately 11 metres (36 feet) tall, in the estate of Villa Demidoff (originally Villa di Pratolino) in Vaglia in Tuscany, Italy. A personification of the Apennine Mountains, the colossal figure was created by Giambologna, a Flemish-born Italian sculptor, in the late 1580s. The statue has the appearance of an elderly man crouched at the shore of a lake, squeezing the head of a sea monster through whose open mouth water originally emanated into the pond in front of the statue. The colossus is depicted naked, with stalactites in the thick beard and long hair to show the metamorphosis of man and mountain, blending his body with the surrounding nature. It is made of stone and plaster and the interior houses a series of chambers and caves on three levels. Initially, the back of the statue was protected by a structure resembling a cave, which was demolished around 1690 by the sculptor Giovanni Battista Foggini, who built a statue of a dragon to adorn the back of the colossus. The Italian sculptor Rinaldo Barbetti renovated the statue in 1876.Sculpture credit: Giambologna; photographed by Rhododendrites
