The cover page is done for Ender's Gospel! This should be how it looks like on Amazon and other electronic book outlets. Check it out to the left and let me know what you think. A big thank you to my sister-in-law Anica for her help using Photoshop.

Bradley Manning was sentenced 35 years in prison yesterday. Whether you think he was a traitor or a patriot, everyone should read the man in his own words (also posted below). The response from human rights groups is also worth a read. The decisions that I made in 2010 were made out of a concern for my country and the world that we live in. Since the tragic events of 9/11, our country has been at war. We’ve been at war with an enemy that chooses not to meet us on any traditional battlefield, and due to this fact we’ve had to alter our methods of combating the risks posed to us and our way of life. It's important to note that Manning pleaded guilty for leaking information, yet the US government tried him above and beyond this charge, attempting to indict him on treason charges under the archaic Espionage Act of 1917 and seeking the death penalty. This was clearly to make him an example, but where is the line between those who leak information in the public interest (think Pentagon Papers and Deep Throat from Watergate, for example) and those who are deemed traitors? I think the person's intent should at least be part of the discussion.
I'm concerned our nation is devolving into another alarming inequality (besides wealth): inequality of information. Secretive government programs are as opaque as ever while its citizens rights to privacy are practically non-existent. Before too long, any of us might face a situation like Bradley Manning or Edward Snowden or Ben Franklin - to reveal or conceal information valuable for public debate - and thus change the course of history... and your life... or not.
