Neil Wick
I have many personal interests (too many actually). Only a few of them are currently represented here. I've made pages for some of my major areas of interest, so you can get around my stuff more easily.
My Academic Work
I went "back to school" (as they say), most recently doing Ph.D.-level studies in Linguistics at the University of Ottawa. Previously I did a Master's degree in Theoretical Linguistics at York University in Toronto, graduating in the Fall of 2004. My honours B.A was granted in 1996 at the University of Toronto, where I began part-time studies in 1996. For more details on my academic work, see my Academic Research page.
My Other Web Sites
I've been designing web pages since about 1996, mainly as a hobby. The web sites I currently maintain are so numerous that I almost have to have a list to keep track of them myself.
-
My LanguageStore.com site sells books, tapes, CDs, and movies through Amazon.com in the U.S. and other territories and Chapters.ca in Canada. Although there are suggestions for material on language topics, other items available through these web merchants can also be purchased.
-
My Brooklin Page tries to keep up with happenings in Brooklin, Ontario, Canada. I want to link to every Brooklin-related site I can find. Within this site, I also maintain sites for
-
The Brooklin Horticultural Society of which I'm a member.
-
The Brooklin Lions Wilderness Trail uses the web as one of its main components of education and I've been involved in its development from the start.
-
The Whitby District Scouts site gave me much of my web experience as it evolved over several years, but I'm not currently the main person who maintains it.
-
When I was the part-owner our family business, The Video Image and The Video Superstore, I had web sites for those. I also worked for awhile at our other business, Brooklin Bulletin Signs.
-
The AdamCon web site belongs to my brother, Dale, but I have made certain contributions towards it. It deals with the Coleco Adam Computer System and the annual conventions held by users of that system for the last several years.
Other Stuff on My Site
-
I was a volunteer for the Durham Free-Net from 1995 to 1997 when the funding ended and the organization fell apart. Read what happened at the end on my Durham Free-Net Information Page
My Family
My brother, Brian, spent a year in Finland studying international business at the University of Tampere on an exchange from York University in Toronto. He's made numerous trips to Europe ever since. You can read about his experiences in Europe and what he's been doing lately by checking out Brian's Home Page.
My youngest brother, Dale, has a personal home page at AdamCon.org. Dale also runs the Coleco Adam Home Page which is one of the central sources of information about the classic Coleco Adam computer. After a few years in Toronto, Dale bought a brand new house in Brooklin with his wife, Jillian, and his son Jeffrey, who was born on January 4, 2002.
My other brother, Keith, works along with Brian at Brooklin Bulletin Signs.
