NAME: Desmond Hobson
BORN: March 13, 1972
RESIDENCE: Lakewood, California
I was introduced to Wikipedia by a blogger named Neil deMause, who wrote a book called Field of Schemes in 1998. That book is about the use of taxpayer money to build professional sports stadiums. Since then, deMause has expanded the book into a blog and he links some of the items to Wikipedia. I saw something that I wanted to expand, and I did. In short order, that was followed by opening an account so they I could start contributing to the site.
I enjoy being a Wikipedian, and my only wish is that I could be paid for it. I was terminated from SourceCorp in Carson, California in November 2005 in a dispute over pay and hours. Before that, I worked for South Bay Vocational Center in Long Beach, California, from 2000 to 2004. SBVC is a company that helps the developmental disabled get jobs.
I graduated with a degree in information technology from California State University, Long Beach, in 1999. I am considering a return to college to update my skills.
I also have an overactive imagination. Per request of some of my fellow Wikipedians, I have moved all my fakeout "Wikipedia entries" to this new page: User:Desmond Hobson/sandbox
