ZayZayEM?
This is my username for just about everything I ever use. First used in 2001 in the creation of a hotmail account, after finding that Michael Zimmer is an incredibly common name. It came from a reversal of my intials, MAZ to become 'z'-'ay'-'em' and the zay was just repeated for effect (I blame the recent launch of Ali G on the ABC for this). Capitalization is optional. Don't know quite why I resurrected it for Wiki. It looks snazzy i guess.
The next place to be assaulted by zayzayem (aka. ZZ), and current sponge for most of my time is the wonderful world of SparkNotes[1]. I'd been a fan of their earlier projects with TheSpark.com (now in Sparklife - sadly no Date My Sister Project) and was eager to join the slightly more serious eduaction-orientated SN. Its study guides are a rather good study resource for Ameri-centric history and literature, and maths and moderately okay for science.
factoids I've recently found, or added to Wikipedia</center>
- Nigerian Afrobeat musician, Fela was very politically active, being critical of his government's militaristic activities and a supporter socialism; yet he also expressed sexist viewpoints.
- From the 40s and early 60s, American obsession with Space Age novella such as the The Jetsons, inspired an architectural Phenomenon known as Googie.
- The izakaya is a japanese Bar-like establishment that serves both alcoholic beverages and light food, quite popular with salarymen, independent women, and the young 'uns
- Some of the plays of William Shakespeare are based on novels by Matteo Bandello, the bishop of Agen in the 16th century
- The Russian version of the guitar is the Balalaika, a triangular instrument with only 3 strings.

In addition some classic books are available on line, and for American high schoolers SAT practice tests. Its also got a wonderful message board system with a thriving community that is mostly centered upon the Current events message board rather than actual study help with many obscure boards being quite ignored.
ZayZayEM has been seen on various computer games message boards including those of the Warlords series. As well as a member of news/info groups such as online versions of New York Times and Nature, and The Friday Project[2]. He probably won't stop until the entire internet is under his mighty fists (online personas always have ego issues). I'm also an occasioanl (crap) player of Warcraft III, but am currently trying to go cold turkey on my computer games addiction.
In reality I'm actually a young, male, Australian biomedical scientist interested in almost everything (except sodomy and discrimination, otherwise I'm cool). Born 18 January, Melbourne. Currently living in Yeppoon, a small coastal town in tropical Queensland. I'm currently trying to avoid the laboratory for a year or two by flying to Japan to teach English to Asian kiddies.
Wiki-volvement
I found Wiki in mid-2004 and actually started using it as a useful tool in September for quick preliminary assignment work and clarification of terms in addition to sites such as Dictionary.com, AcronymFinder.com and kartoo, the almighty map-based meta-search engine.
Most of the pages I will change will probably be related to Australia, Central Queensland, health, science and possibly other interests of mine including Norse Mythology, religion, government, games and anime.
Mostly I'll be doing are stuff I'm doing assignments on. If you are that interested you can check out my list of contributions.
My first article-like article was toll-like receptors, big thanks to Lexor who unjarbled my information and gave me some good pointers.
I'm sort of running WP:ACOTW, but maybe I killed it, because it hasn't been working to well since I joined. We seem to be back on track with Port Arthur, Tasmania.
