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

Duck and Cover is a 1951 American civil-defense animated and live-action social guidance film, directed by Anthony Rizzo. Often mischaracterized as propaganda, it has similar themes to more adult-oriented civil-defense training films. It was widely distributed to schoolchildren in the United States in the 1950s, and teaches students what to do in the event of a nuclear explosion. The film starts with an animated sequence showing Bert, an anthropomorphic turtle, who is attacked by a monkey holding a lit firecracker or stick of dynamite on the end of a string. Bert ducks into his shell as the charge goes off; it destroys both the monkey and the tree in which he is sitting, but Bert is left unharmed. The film then switches to live footage as a narrator explains what children should do when they see the flash of an atomic bomb while in various environments. It is suggested that by ducking down low in the event of a nuclear explosion, such as crawling under desks, children would be safer than they would be standing. In 2004, Duck and Cover was selected by the Library of Congress for preservation in the National Film Registry for being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".Film credit: Anthony Rizzo
