- I was interviewed for a brief part in a San Francisco Chronicle story, regarding an incident online a few years ago.
- My Spring 2012 semester at SJSU, the last undergraduate one, has begun, with Senior Seminar / Honors Thesis, Local Government and Politics, Modern Political Thought, and an Independent Study project focusing on international relations' realism.
- I'm still waiting to hear back from CUNY and UC Riverside in the U.S., Oxford and Univ. College London in the UK.
- I am now a published author on Amazon, where copies of my Bibliography can be acquired. Unless published in an academic journal, all future pieces will be published, in digital and in print, exclusively through Amazon, until further notice.
- I'm working on a late-stage revision of my Modern America: The End of Political Discourse and Social Cohesion treatise, which will be followed by a revision of my exegesis project on political education and society. Both will be published in the near future.
