Greetings, everyone! Welcome to the new home of my personal blog, Vincit Veritas, previously located on my .Mac account. As my previous readers know, my site is devoted to my greatest interests: technology, politics, religion, and entertainment, and literature.
I'm currently seeking my Masters in English, Creative Writing at Southwest Missouri State University, soon to be Missouri State University. I have a Bachelors of Arts in Political Science, and currently work as a Graduate Assistant providing computer support in the Educational Technology Center at the University, where I support a mixed-platform lab and office composed of both Windows® and Macintosh® computers, though I'm making progress on getting the office to go all-Mac. I love Science Fiction, especially Ursula K. LeGuin's Earthsea and Hainish cycles, and am currently working on several critical papers based around her work. I am also interested in Philip K. Dick, William Gibson, and Orson Scott Card. My favorite literary theorists are Fredric Jameson, Northrop Frye, Carl Jung, and Terry Eagleton.
Anyway, my favorite TV shows are Enterprise (SAVE IT), Smallville, and Alias. As for politics, I was a Kerry supporter in the last election, but that doesn't mean that I support everything the Democrats stand for. I subscribe the the Sojourners online newsletter for progressive Christians, and am definitely anti-abortion, but don't think that it is prudent to make the procedure illegal. We should be working to create an environment in which abortion isn't even a consideration for women, rather than forcing them to undergo dangerous back-room operations or use clothes hangers on themselves. Well, that's really it for now. Hopefully, I'll be able to keep up with things a bit more regularly here, than on my .Mac account. Have a good one!
