Hello, I've been on Wikipedia since 2006. I spend my time here on aviation and related articles (WP:Aviation, WP:Mil history aviation), some ships, some military ground vehicles, some TV series, some WP:Spaceflight related, some highways, some sports, etc. I don't care to use userboxes. ;) With family and work obligations I do not have as much time for detailed work here these days.

Quotes

[edit]

But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions — it is by grace you have been saved. ... For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith — and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God — not by works, so that no one can boast.

— Ephesians 2:4-5, 8-9

On Caladan, we ruled with sea and air power. Here, on Arrakis, we need desert power.

— Duke Leto Atreides in Dune

You wouldn't like me when I'm angry.

I happen to like to shoot first, Rekkon. As opposed to shooting second.

You won't get wise with sleep still in your eyes
No matter what your dreams might be...

Biggs, Wedge, let's close it up. We're going in... we're going in full throttle, that oughta keep those fighters off our back.

... We're going to hit them with the Empire.
They're not going to like the Empire.

It's the disaster, Skywalker we're after.
What if he could be turned to the dark side...?
Yes! He'd be a powerful ally... another dark Jedi...

— Darth Vader and Emperor Palpatine in Star Wars Gangsta Rap
