My name is Fred Hsu. I was surprised to find a general lack of information on autostereograms when I attempted to write a program to produce such images. I promised myself to come back and edit my first wikipedia entry after I reverse-engineered the creation process of various forms of autostereograms from Magic Eye picture books. I verified my theory against the excellent discussion on stereogram in Pinker's How the Mind Works and by writing a program to generate autostereograms. March 2005.

The Autostereogram entry is now expanded to include detailed explanation of the visual trick and the process with which these amazing images are created. I am sure this won't be my last wikipedia edit. March 2005.

I am going through old pictures of my saltwater fish tanks to see if I can't reuse some of these pictures to enhance wikipedia pages on various kinds of fish. I am starting with Yellow Tang. Oct 2005.

I decided to rewrite articles on books by Richard Dawkins, starting with River Out of Eden. July 2006. Edited Snow Crash, Nov 2006.

Recently, I started to seriously upload images to the Commons. I then slowly create/modify relevant wiki pages such as Corona Heights Park and Monterey Bay Aquarium to link to them. January 2007.

More recent work involve reorganizing, rewriting and expanding articles on evolution, such as Mitochondrial Eve and Most recent common ancestor. February 2007. Also helped folks copyedit FA candidates such as Ocean sunfish (now a FA article), etc. June 2007.

Contributed to the demise of most ancient common ancestor. Managed to delete Species integration. July-August 2007.

Expanded rendezvous points one by one in The Ancestor's Tale. Created long overdue parental expenditure. July-Nov 2007.

In the process of cleaning up Last Common Ancestor. Nov 2007.

Next in my edit list: History of salt, salt, edible salt, Color blindness, Color vision and color. March 2007.
