| - | Welcome to the [[HRWiki:User space|user page]] of '''Joey Day'''. Many people ask me if JoeyDay is some kind of codename or if it means something clever. Sometimes I wish I could say yes, but it’s actually my boring old real name, short for Joseph Nathan Day. Because I’m really into web-design and internet-related technology, some of my friends call me “Joey Day dot com”.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | I’m also not from Australia, as some have mistakenly inferred from my [http://www.joeyday.com/images/joeydaycom.png kangaroo-crossing logo]. The kangaroo actually comes from my first name, as joey is also the proper term for [[Wikipedia:Joey (marsupial)|baby marsupial]].

| - | == About me ==
| + | |
| - | I am the proprietor of the Homestar Runner Wiki. I started the Wiki on October 7, 2003 and still technically own it, though I prefer to think of it as community property. I am not [[The Brothers Chaps]], nor am I related to them in any way (yes, people have asked me this).
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | I don’t mind answering questions about the Wiki, but I get a little swamped sometimes. It’s best to direct support questions to the entire administrator team at [mailto:support@hrwiki.org support@hrwiki.org] or post them at [[HRWiki talk:FAQ|the FAQ talk page]].

| - | === My Homestar Runner experience ===
| + | |
| - | I was introduced to Homestar Runner shortly after [[Strong Bad Email]] 51, “[[website]]”, was released (circa Nov. 18, 2002). Web-design has been one of my hobbies for a while and a friend of mine knew that toon would resonate with me. It’s still one of my favorite emails. Other favorites include “[[the basics]]”, “[[superhero name]]”, “[[guitar]]”, “[[techno]]”, “[[japanese cartoon]]”, “[[english paper]]”, “[[caffeine]]”, “[[different town]]”, “[[flashback]]”, “[[virus]]”, “[[do over]]”, and “[[lady...ing]]”.

| - | I own the complete set of four [[strongbad_email.exe|Strong Bad Email DVDs]], the [[Strong Bad Sings CD]], a [[Store#Polo_Shirts|Trogdor polo]], and a [[Store#T-Shirts|Stinkoman blue ringer tee]]. I’d really like a [[Store#Kick_The_Cheat|Kick the Cheat]], but those suckers are expensive. The [[Everything Else]] DVDs are also on my wishlist.

| - | === Things I’m proud of ===
| + | |
| - | * Due to a glitch in the html file, I was able to transcribe “[[Fall Float Parade]]” (using the swf file) before it was properly available on the Homestar Runner website. It was my first transcription in a long time and it felt a-pretty-pretty good to be back in the trenches.
