About me

I am presently an unemployed computer engineer (mostly in aerospace) and mathematician, and an under-employed tax preparer. I had been attending Western State University College of Law recently, and now have an intermittent contract aerospace position.

Live 5 freeway exits north of Disneyland.

I am married, no children, 1 to 3 cats. See also http://www.linkedin.com/in/arthurrubin , Monster, and CareerBuilder. I also contribute to a number of web sites under my real name.

My father died a few hours ago. (My mother died in 2002.) I'm going to be pretty busy for the next few days. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 10:54, 23 April 2018 (UTC)

:Concur with User:Miller17CU94: if the fairness doctrine were applied to the Internet, it would be a major step toward the United States becoming a police state. It's even more likely to happen in 2020, than in 2008, if the Democrats win in the Senate and the Presidency, as a number of new Representatives have submitted radical legislation.

You don’t know the meaning of attention deficit disorder, laugh in the face of boredom, and are wasting your talents if you don’t become a patent examiner.

  • I award this to you, Arthur Rubin, with humbleness and awe. You’ve done what I truly can not. Further, as you read through the 1925 article, you [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=1925&diff=250315577&oldid=250022214 made improvements] to the article, exhibiting the best of true Wikipedian spirit.

style="vertical-align: middle; padding: 3px;" | Hello Arthur. I just discovered that you were the third editor to edit my talk page, a long time ago, at the beginning of my career here. You made some very friendly suggestions regarding formatting and other stuff, with [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Golden_ratio&diff=157675470&oldid=157670549 a pointer]--I don't think I ever properly thanked you for it. In fact, knowing me, if I responded at all I probably did so in asshole mode. If so, my belated apologies, five years--no, six--after the fact. It's that sort of kindness on your part (and that of other editors) that countered my habitual antagonism and kept me going here and, at some disastrous point, made me believe in the project. I salute you. Drmies (talk) 04:39, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
