I am a learner. Every day I learn more about the world around me, by studies, or by classes.
I am a student, and I always will be, for I know that as a human I can never learn the entire body of human knowledge, but i will never let that keep me from new knowledge.
I know that part of what I have learned may be proven inaccurate, or false. I embrace this. Every error in my memory, every gap in my knowledge is room for me to grow.

I am a critical thinker, and a rationalist.
As much as one can 'be' a rationalist, rationalism is not a state of being but a constant fight between the instincts and intuition that served us well as the animals we were and the reasoning and analysis that makes us human.

I do not believe in God.
I cannot say that there is not a god, but I will argue against all religions that claim divine knowledge.
I have the tools to win that debate.
No worse human endeavor has ever been undertaken than religion, no body of money worse spent, no politics more destructive.

I believe equality of the sexes is a noble goal.
Like rationalism, it is a lifelong struggle to force deep roots of cultural and instinctual sexism to yield to reason.
I fear without the continual effort, humanity will never free itself from sexual and gender biases.
That makes me sad.

Right now I'm getting a much belated university education. I'm studying electrical engineering and pursuing internships in the field.
Outside of school, I spend most of my time studying or on the internet, reading, watching YouTube videos, or gaming.

Diagnosing computer problems, math, reading, programming, and adapting to new technology.

For books: Jack L. Chalker's sci-fi novels (mainly Well World and Soul Rider), Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels, Piers Anthony's Adept and Mode series, Neal Stephenson's novels (I am currently working on 'REAMDE'), Issac Asimov's Foundation series, and Larry Niven's Ringworld trilogy.

For shows: (On YouTube and other internet video sites) VSauce, SciShow, CrashCourse, Veritasium, GameGrumps, ZeroPunctuation, The Big Picture with MovieBob, An Egg's Guide to Minecraft, MinutePhysics, The Bravest Warriors, Freeman's Mind, DBZ Abridged, Cinema Sins, Achievemrnt Hunter: Rage Quit, Numberphile, The Completionist, Extra Credits, Honest Trailers, Foamy the Squirrel, CGPGrey Explains, PBS Idea Channel, Naruto (fansubs), One Piece (fansubs), and The Nostalgia Critic.

I am open to trying new music, but I shy away from 4-chord pop music. Electronica is easily my favorite supergenre, and I favor drum & bass, ambient, trip-hop, and good dubstep (e.g. not Skrillex.)

I enjoy most food, but I avoid bland food, or overprocessed foodlike substances. I do not agree with vegitarianism or veganism unless there is a pressing health concern.

I read a number of webcomics: Girl Genius, Order of The Stick, Schlock Mercenary, Drowtales: Moonless Age, S.S.D.D, Something Positive, Freefall, El Goonish Shive, The Adventures of Dr. McNinja, Homestuck (yes, the whole thing,) Antihero For Hire, Alone In A Crowd, Cyanide & Happiness, The Devil's Panties, Ctrl+Alt+Del, Dominic Deegan: Oracle for Hire, Errant Story, Girls With Slingshots, Goblins, Jack, Looking for Group, Misfile, Least I Could Do, Megatokyo, The Pocalypse, Quedtionable Content, Two Guys and Guy, Templar Arizona, Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal, Silghtly Damned, and XKCD.

What i am learning in each semester and how it relates to or overrides previous knowledge. What I am going to learn next. What my next project will be in minecraft, and how best to complete it in a timely manner.
