dcljr is a math tutor who was born in 1969 and now lives in Austin, Texas.
I have a B.S. in Mathematics and M.S. in Statistics (actually, an ABD in the latter — never pass up an opportunity to point that out ;). I also have an interest in the various sciences and humanities, but no real credentials...
If you know another dcljr online, it's probably me. I have a sizable website (http://www.obkb.com/) and admin a dying mailing list (http://www.tcp.com/mailman/listinfo/clarissa).
Since making my first edit to Wikipedia as a logged-in user (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Significance&diff=prev&oldid=532250) on December 23, 2002, I've edited Wikipedia enough to get into the List of Wikipedians by number of edits. I may or may not be there at the moment.
I have user pages on the following Wikipedias whose languages I barely know:
I have other user pages in languages I don't know at all (and in Simple English). See the interlanguage links elsewhere on this page.
I've also been known to contribute to:
