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 cattle tyrant (Machetornis rixosa) is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae, the tyrant flycatcher. It has a disjunct distribution, consisting of one race in a region from northern Argentina and Bolivia to the north-eastern tip of Brazil, and the two other subspecies ranging from Panama to Venezuela and eastern Ecuador. It inhabits drier open and semi-open habitats, and avoided forested and wooded areas. It can be found in savannah, pastureland, parkland, agricultural land and even gardens. The capybara (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris) is the largest living species of rodent, classified within the genus Hydrochoerus, the only other extant member of which is the lesser capybara (H. isthmius). Its close relatives include guinea pigs and rock cavies, and it is more distantly related to the agouti, the chinchilla, and the nutria. The capybara is a highly social species and inhabits savannas and dense forests, living near bodies of water. It is hunted for its meat and hide and also for grease from its thick fatty skin. This photograph, taken in the Pantanal, a wetland region in western Brazil, shows a cattle tyrant perching on the head of a capybara.Photograph credit: Charles J. Sharp
