Joe Beaudoin Jr. is the webmaster and head honcho for the Battlestar Wiki.
I am responsible for starting the beast you see before you now; all the contributors and visitors are responsible for the beast's development and continual growth. This is very much a community-driven effort that has surpassed even my wildest expectations. With that in mind, I thank you all for your hard work and dedication! So say we all!

File:01-01-07 1237.jpgA "fat cat" contributor, codenamed "Sweetie Pie"†, looks away in disgust as he peer reviews my edits.
While I really leave all the day to day editing to the contributors, leaving me free to concentrate on major issues (such as policy and so forth, being the "senior chief"), I plan to work on the following:
Battlestar Wiki:Vandalism - You know, just in case some Toaster decides to vandalise pages... Look at what they did to the restaurant that Helo and Boomer were in. All that crockery... oh the pain, the pain.
Battlestar Wiki:Quality Articles - As the name might suggest, this is a project to ID quality pages and develop potential quality pages. The best of the best.
Battlestar Wiki:Site support - place to beg for donations, which will go towards paying for the hosting and for future upgrades; not that it's a burden, but I want to give people the option to give back in whatever way they feel is best -- and some people like to do it financially.
Battlestar Wiki:Think Tank - The incubator for wide-scale ideas to improve the wiki. If you wish to propose a project or new feature, this is where you need to do so. (I would honestly like more contributors to offer suggestions here, because there's always room for improvement.)
When not trying to write and publish my manuscripts, working for White Eye Productions, Inc. as a writer, developer, and vice president, and researching BSG on a professional basis, I use whatever "spare" time I have, as well as working to oversee project development of Frak Media Productions's web endeavors.
While I do prefer that you just contact me on my talk page, I can be contacted by clicking the "e-mail this user" link in the toolbox, itself being on the left margin of this page.
As for computing, I use a custom built, AMD-64 Debian Linux machine called "Zen". ("Zen" is the name of the computer that ran the Liberator on Blake's 7.) I did have a Toshiba laptop called "Orac" (yet another Blake's 7 reference), but I no longer have it as I gave the computer to my father for his real estate business. Instead, I have a MacBook Pro -- swearing off Windows-based machines for good, or so I hoped. I do use Windows machines here and there due to business reasons, but nothing beats a Mac in terms of ease of use.
I also have an XBox360, which I use to occasionally game.
P.S. Yes, you can edit my user page. I trust you. Besides, I can always undo your edits. :-)
