Mother sea otter with rare twin baby pups, in Morro Bay, California. Photo by my friend Mike Baird. This might be my favorite of the many of his photos in use here at Wikipedia & Commons. See https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Photographs_by_Mike_Baird for another 425 or so. Nice guy, too.
Fast otter, faster shutter, Kenai Fjords. Love that water!

Bits about me, mostly old

Bedrock in Nilosyrtis Mensae

Joined the Wikipedia project in June 2006. My, how time flies.

After some unpleasant experiences here, mostly to do with the hyper-politicized Climate Change articles at Wikipedia, I am less active here than formerly. Too bad, since I actually know something about that topic.

I review books for print and online publications. Most of my reviews are now at

USNR, sometime after Adm. Farragut. Older than dirt
.

Other interests/(semi?)-expertise:

  • Science fiction
  • SW US history and prehistory
  • Northern Mexico history and prehistory
  • Ethnographic art
  • Paleoclimates in the geologic record, and implications for modern climate change

  • Ongoing Image Project: I'm going through the voluminous Robert Lavinsky mineral photo donation, and adding photos to appropriate articles. It's a big job -- but lots of pretty pictures. See User:Tillman/Favorite minerals for some samples. Pretty much done as of the end of 2021.
