Hello, SeanO here.
I live in Chicago, Illinois. I'm a bureaucrat by trade. A jazz singer by avocation.
WEB: Officemonkey.org. AIM: I'm at "lifegoestoaparty".
I came here from Ward Cunningham's WikiWikiWeb and the Bookshelved Wiki.
I created this page here in February, 2003, but I edited several pages earlier than that.
FEMA Project
[edit]My latest fixation is to write articles for every FEMA director. See my contributions at:
- John Macy
- Louis O. Giuffrida
- Julius W. Becton, Jr.
- Wallace Stickney
- John Magaw
- James Lee Witt
- R. David Paulison
"Sure, anyone can write a Wikipedia article on Mike Brown, but how many people can write one on John Macy??"
Jazz Project
[edit]Pages I'm proud to have contributed to:
- Benny Goodman
- Louis Armstrong
- Lionel Hampton
- Nat King Cole
- Fletcher Henderson
- Harold Arlen -- so far, I'm the sole author...
- Nellie Lutcher -- ditto.
- King Pleasure -- ditto.
- Johnny Hodges
- Illinois Jacquet
- Artie Shaw
- Sammy Davis, Jr.
- Joe Williams (jazz singer)
- Bessie Smith
- Dashiell Hammett
- Nina Simone
- Bubber Miley
- Tricky Sam Nanton
Perhaps you can tell I like Jazz.
Armstrong Number
[edit]My Armstrong Number is three. I've defined the Armstrong Number to be similar to the Erdős number, except using Louis Armstrong and jazz performance as criteria.
Louis Armstrong (0) -> Barrett Deems (1) -> Mark Sonksen (2) -> SeanO (3).
I also have a Bacon number of three.
Kevin Bacon (0) -> Steve Guttenberg (1) -> Colin Quinn (2) -> SeanO (3) (I appeared in the MTV game show Remote Control in the late 1980s.)
Sadly, I don't have an Erdős number, but I know someone that does.
