I'm a community manager for Stack Exchange, following two years of service as a community elected moderator on Stack Overflow. Beyond that, I'm:
- A husband and dad
- A competent programmer
- A world traveler
- Not a teapot, and I have proof!
I'm still into programming for learning and my own pet projects, while taking on broader participation within the global developer and knowledge seeking communities in general. Wherever people prefer simply helping each other get better rather than just talking about what they do, you'll find me interested.
Yes, I use this account for testing purposes. It's not impersonating me.

New Users' Review Queue Busy You don't see anything because you need at least 125 rep to review in that queue (125 rep unlocks enough privileges for you to actually be effective there). The queue is just for checking to make sure answers are actually answers, comments on how posts can be improved and editing / etc as privileges of the reviewer permit. |

How is it that the moment I add a question, I see Views = 1? I'm almost positive that each viewer is only counted once as a view, but you are in fact one of the viewers. Not positive enough to answer, but almost. |

Provide a button in the editor to insert a sound to an answer @jachguate I'm looking into it now. That should have boxed with the playback button and stuff. |

What do we offer that our target audience can't get elsewhere? This is a great discussion to have, if not essential when talking about promotion. |

Expanding our product reviews for the blog We talked about it, but everyone had so many reservations about the idea that it just doesn't seem to be tenable for us, and we didn't even touch on the legal side of it. It's not a horrible idea, we're just not the platform for it. I don't mean to be such a buzzkill :( |

Users with less than 150 rep getting the Constituent badge? Voting? Beat me to it. That's it exactly. Many of these were around the ~300 level prior to deleting their positively scored posts over time. It's tedious, but I'm going through it now. |

Sock-puppet attack on GameDev Stack Exchange - Exploits! @AndrewRussell Right now my focus is getting rid of him and keeping him out, this did raise some questions in general that I plan on asking. |

Sock-puppet attack on GameDev Stack Exchange - Exploits! @AndrewRussell I did go through the list, there were 2 or 3 that were obviously this person - also gone now. Some of these accounts had been around since may, I'm not sure how many more he actually had, but it can't be too many. |
