I have recently discovered the glory that is iTunes U. Coupled with the recent acquisition of a vehicle that has an iPod connection and an ongoing 120 mile daily journey to and from work, I now occupy my mornings and evenings with the sonorous sounds of academic lectures and podcasts, a thoroughly enjoyable treat from the internet age. Most recently, I have been enthralled by the recordings of Anthony Heideman, a history professor at FRCC, as he educates about Western Civilization. I highly recommend it; exceptional and relatable oration! On a related note, I must also mention the Khan Academy, a massive collection of education videos... If you're not using the internet to expand your mind, then you're squandering the greatest advancement in learning since the invention of the book.

I find the greatest reality to be the understanding that everything we recognize as part of humanity, save the need to eat, sleep and reproduce, is entirely the construct of human intellectual thinking and was entirely optional. Government, ear rings, tennis, religion, money, the tank, physics, movies, McDonald's, cellphones, the internet, sunglasses, the space shuttle, the clock, baseball, the Eiffel Tower, swords, castles, music, rockets, art, literature, and a million other things of equal majesty; all the result of the human brain. It may all be cosmically meaningless and organically a waste of effort, but from the narrow framework of my own life, the sum of our few million years of existence has produced a stunning amount of output...

On April 30 of this year, I will be hosting a digital launch party for my fourth book, entitled The Void. During this launch party, I will be raffling off 10 autographed copies of the book. If you wish to participate in this launch party, you can RSVP on Goodreads. Furthermore, if you are a reviewer and would be interested in received an ARC copy, e-mail me and I will send you a copy when it is ready for reviewers, likely in early March.

Shattered Wings received a 5 star rating today (out of five) from Dustin Adrian Rhodes. Currently available for 2.99 in eBook format for the Kindle, the book has continued to receive positive reviews. An exerpt of this latest review is below: Healey reveals the circumstances in John's life that brought him to this point in chronologically ordered scenes from recent events interspersed with flashbacks from John's younger years. The consistent pace of the story flowed smoothly and before I knew it, I was drawn into...

I have written a column for Littera Report about the New England Patriots AFC Championship win, entitled Is My Heart Beating? As always, I hope you enjoy, and I welcome any feedback you may have! -- I think I had a heart attack... As the field goal sailed right to send the Patriots into their fifth Super Bowl appearance in ten years, my chest began to tighten and throb, like an elephant was sitting on me. Granted, this may have been the result of my hurling myself onto the ground in ecstacy...

Many websites across the web today have either gone dark or modified their appearance to demonstrate their displeasure with a couple of bills being debated by Congress: SOPA and PIPA. These two pieces of legislation are written in such a way that they could have massive and deletrious consequences on freedom of speech, internet business and the fundamental functioning of the web. To participate in this protest, please contact your representatives today. To learn more about this protest, the Electronic Frontier Foundation has a succinctly written article on the matter. Stand up for freedom!

My brain can barely comprehend the immensity of what this video demonstrates. The achievements of modern biological science truly boggle the mind, and there is no doubt that stem cell technology is the absolute future of medical science. While the technological, according to a cursory and surface-deep spat of research, is not ready for prime-time and has some limitations, it still represents the potential marvel of this infant science.

I am rather excited for the Colbert Report tonight, and hope dearly that he and his Super PAC decide to throw themselves into the South Carolina primary debacle. If nothing else, he should be able to inject a little humor into what has consistently been a horror show of insanity... And maybe he can squeeze a few votes away from Huntsman and Gingrich.

I'm growing increasingly convinced that the Republican party is currently conducting the most elaborate, dangerous and hilarious Kaufman-style prank in the history of the world, and all of America has failed to yet notice. The game will hit a fever pitch when Obama joins in the fun... Also, I think everyone failed to include Ron Paul in the planning meetings, as he seems to have no idea what the hell is going on.
