:''Muad'Dib learned rapidly because his first training was in how to learn. And the first lesson of all was the basic trust that he could learn. It's shocking to find how many people do not believe they can learn, and how many more believe learning to be difficult. Muad'Dib knew that every experience carries its lesson.'' - Dune, Frank Herbert

Priorities (in no particular order):
I have watched this featured episode.
 
* TOS Character histories
**All but done with these.
 
* Episode Guides
**Basically done with the summaries, now we need to fill in questions, analysis, quotes, and notes.
 
===[[Battlestar Wiki:Island of Misfit Images|Island of Misfit Images]]===
I'd encourage everybody to check out the [[Battlestar Wiki:Island of Misfit Images|Island of Misfit Images]], the home of some images that have been uploaded but not linked to. Hopefully you can either help them find a good home, or help identify ones that need to be deleted.

I finally caved and added this to my list. I always felt that my transcription was too slow, and preferred verifying, but I've been doing some transcription lately.
I've done a few podcast transcripts. I'd appreciate it if somebody would verify those.

I have been known to post to civfanatics.com, glocktalk.com, ar15.com, and bikeforums.net using this same handle.  So if you see a Steelviper there, it's me. I also have a Steelviper account over at wikipedia now, but I've got about 5 edits.
 
I'm a brown belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, having trained for over a decade now.


Around here you may see me referred to as "Steel" or "SV". That's probably me too.


At GalacticaBS I'm known as "WikiViper" due to the abundance of Vipers there, and the fact that "Steel" and "SV" are both already taken.

Origin of Nickname

"A truly fearsome beast, the great viper of Arcadia possesses strength and tenacity unmatched by any other predator on that world. It coils around its prey in a crushing embrace, then finishes its kill with a deadly poison. The warriors of the Clan I name Steel Viper show remarkable tenacity in battle and in their service to our great mission. May they continue to serve with unshakable faith, and may their opponents learn to fear the fangs of the Steel Vipers."
-- From Birth of a New Society: The Collected Writings of Nicholas Kerensky, Strana Mechty Press, 3025
