My handle (Roadmaster) came from the old Test Drive video game. I want to live here.
Wikipedia is NOT a democracy.
I'm from Mexico, although I currently live in Montreal, Canada. I'm able to help with any Mexico-related articles, of which I've contributed a few myself (see below). I'm also available to help with translation between spanish and english.
Nice articles. The ones with asterisk I started, the other ones I've added stuff to:
- French Press *
- Van Jacobson *
- Van Jacobson TCP/IP Header Compression *
- TAESA *
- World Trade Center México * (this one I'm particularly proud of; my only shame is I never found the time to take the picture myself).
- Polyforum Cultural Siqueiros *
- Torre Latinoamericana * (I can't believe I actually started this one! WHEE!)
- Pesero *
- Flans *
- Torre Mayor *
- Metro General Anaya
- Estadio Azteca
Also I have taken and uploaded some pictures, under the GFDL for use on Wikipedia and related projects.
Of course my pictures will probably never be featured like this one:

Horatius Cocles was an officer in the army of the early Roman Republic who famously defended the Pons Sublicius from the invading army of Etruscan king Lars Porsena of Clusium in the late 6th century BC, during the war between Rome and Clusium. By defending the narrow end of the bridge, he and his companions were able to hold off the attacking army long enough to allow other Romans to destroy the bridge behind him, blocking the Etruscans' advance and saving the city. This fanciful engraving of Cocles was produced in 1586 by the German-born Dutch printmaker Hendrick Goltzius. The full-length portrait shows him holding a raised sword in his right hand and a shield in his left. In the lower right of the background, Cocles takes on an army by himself.Engraving credit: Hendrick Goltzius
