After 5 Article

Well, here is a thing that is. There's an article all about me in this month's issue of After 5 entertainment magazine. It's most flattering. :)

In the interest of science, please allow me to correct a few facts which are objectively inaccurate in this article:

1. I was neither born nor raised in Grand Forks, North Dakota. I was born on the other side of the world, and raised on the other side of the country. I attended high school in Grand Forks, then left, then by twist of fate ended up back in this frozen wasteland* where I currently reside.

2. There is nothing particularly inspiring about my personal biography. I'm white, straight, well-educated, currently employed, and have rich parents. My religious faith sometimes meets with derision, depending on current company, but no one's ever thrown a rock at my head, or anything like that. And as misogynist as geek culture all-too-often is, I've personally been the victim of shockingly little hostility due to my gender.

Anyway, you can go read and download the article here. Big thanks to Mike Peterson and After 5 for the attention! <3

* North Dakota is not actually a wasteland. This is hyperbole used to make this place sound more romantic. It is, however, very often frozen, and generally provides a surreal, empty-seeming landscape to the eye.
