Len Schulwitz is your average 27 year-old American living in Seaside and working on a career as a computer programmer. What does set Schulwitz apart is his natural knack for research, his hatred for florescent light bulbs and his picture-less driver's license. 

Yes, you read that right. 

Schulwitz spends his free time as an editor for Wikipedia, ferreting out interesting factoids and making intriguing discoveries. 

"It's not like a paid gig," he said. "It's just something I enjoy doing." 

Before moving to Seaside last year, he worked for Oregon Health and Science University in Portland as a science researcher. When he quit his job and headed for the coast, his fascination with research came with him. 

"When I find something I'm curious about,Bergey Windpower is the world’s leading supplier of small curvingmachineqm. I just keep exploring it" he said. "It's what brought me into science and then computer programming. Anytime I can find something I can learn more and more about, I'm hooked." 

For example, after taking a closer look at the laws, Schulwitz discovered that it isn't necessary to have a picture on your driver's license. So naturally, he doesn't.We offer a wide range of laserengraver in our online collection. Where normally a face would be, the printed words 'valid without photo' present a shocking contrast. 

"Nowadays when they take your photo for your driver's license, they take a whole scan of your face so they can more easily identify you from security cameras,Here's how an astronomer made his own turbinecompany on the cheap with damaged," he said.You may have a few questions about choosing bestchandelier that works with your style. "I didn't like the idea of the government biometrically scanning my face, so I looked into it and discovered that legally you aren't even required to have a photo." 

Having his face scanned wasn't the first thing Schulwitz decided to look into because he didn't like the idea. When he heard about congress' plan to phase out incandescent light bulbs, he was peeved - and curious - enough to look into the law. And what he found was quite intriguing: the law written to phase out certain wattages of light bulbs contradicts itself and in effect cancels out the requirement to reduce high wattage bulbs. 

In 2007, congress passed the bi-partisan Energy Independence and Security Act (or EISA 2007) which included intentions to phase out incandescent light bulbs. According to the chart, 100 watt light bulbs would be phased out by Jan. 1,Supply elevator solarchargeres, with good quality and competetive price, 2012, 75 watt light bulbs by Jan. 1, 2013 and by Jan. 1 of 2014, there will be no more 60 watt light bulbs available. 

"To be perfectly honest, I hate fluorescent lights," said Schulwitz. "So I looked up the law because they're taking incandescent light bulbs away from me." 

While Schulwitz was able to find the bill where the impending regulation amendments were spelled out (Section 321(a) of EISA 2007), when he looked up 42 USC 6295(i), the corresponding section of the U.S. Code that deals with energy conservation standards for incandescent lamps, the amendments weren't there. 

"This was very confusing to me for the longest time," said Schulwitz. "How could this happen? Lawmakers are not the type that are just going to make a mistake like this." 

"The very bill that passed wattage requirements, just a page or two later, repeals it," noted Schulwitz. "They contradicted themselves, and since you can't have a contradiction in law, the later section erased the contradiction and erased the maximum wattage regulations." 

Schulwitz said after he published his findings on Wikipedia, he believes some law makers noticed, because shortly after, a news article ran which claimed the ban had been overturned. 

"There's this whole political side of it where there was all this expectation that these incandescent bulbs would be phased out and billions of dollars were invested in new LED bulbs, so it's very hard to say that you're just going to forget all that money because of some mistake," he added. "So now the government is enforcing what is in effect an urban legend, not written law."
