WRITING
You may have realized by now that I enjoy writing. The testament to that can be found on nearly every page throughout this site. You can likely attribute my tendencies to the quality of the teachers & professors who vigorously encouraged writing. Or perhaps it's also partly a reflection of years of practice and years of journaling my own Bible study notes.
Either way, here's a brief glimpse into just a sampling of a few writing endeavors:
TOPICS
Technology & Science
1) Artificial Intelligence & Society
4) Artificial Intelligence On The Cusp
3) Time Dilation & Santa Clause
4) Total Solar Eclipse
5) Solar-Powered Car
6) Portfolio Website Reviews: Site Reviews
Scripts
I've penned dozens upon dozens of short-format scripts, mostly for church. Here are just a few other examples in this category:
1) "The Bitter Tomato"
2) An Interview (Spanish)
Faith & Theology
1) In Defense of Christianity - Counter-arguments in response to Friedrich Nietzsche's accusations against Christianity.
Politics + Culture
Most of my writing has been in the form of commentary concerning political & cultural issues, as well as certain tech topics. If you'd care to take a look, the most recent form of my blog can be found at this website:

Prose + Poetry
And I've also been known to pen other types of works, and below is just one example. (Don't worry, I promise I won't share my haikus from elementary school…)
WORDS

Ten shadows pierce the stillness; twice as many
wounds and ever-present, ever-burning scars.
Words. Irretrievable. Imperfect.
Insignificant?
I alone, with cold, careless syllables,
wrecked the span that stretched between us: a deep divide.
A withering. A paralysis. A forever bleeding.
Light we shared, remnants of yesterday,
echoes bitterly, echoes endlessly in my mind.
Irretrievable.
My words are lost, unreachable,
gripped by this unforgiving river and its raging tide.
A bottle. A capsule. A message within.
Irretrievable.
Ten words pierce the stillness; yet only One,
two are needed to begin again.
