Me, as of Spring Term 2005, when CarlWiki was in its early stages

Me, as of Summer 2006; note the change in look from Harry Potter to more of a Draco Malfoy

Hi, I'm Trevor Burnham, the founder of CarlWiki. I was also the administrator until February 2008, when I appointed Steve Merry '10 as my replacement. You can contact me via e-mail or leave a message on my talk page.

I created CarlWiki during Winter Break 2004, having found out about the incredible Wikipedia during the previous summer. But I didn't make it well-known until Spring Term 2006, because I wanted to lay out a basic structure and implement some level of vandalism resistance before opening it up to the public.

My original class year was '07, but I took 2006-2007 as a leave of absence from Carleton, which makes me a member of the Class of '08.

If you're a Carleton person, you can find out more about me on Facebook or by reading my User File. I also have a personal blog.

Interests

I'm a Math major, but my academic interests are very broad
I plan to study Economics after graduation
I was a CSA Senator for the 2006-2007 academic year
I've taken two years of Japanese and spent six weeks in an immersion program in Tokyo
I used to be a member of Carleton Forensics (Debate), but now I'm very much into Quiz Bowl
I've worked at the SCIC for all of my three years at Carleton, and working on the SCIC's wiki inspired me to create a more general Carleton site
In addition to CarlWiki, I also enjoy reading Wikipedia pretty much every day, and contributing to it occasionally
I've written a rough draft of a novel about high school
