About me
I am a recent graduate of UC Berkeley, with a BA in the History of Art. Although art is my true love, I have a deep passion for science, skepticism, and critical thinking. I am a former evangelical Christian turned atheist. I’m also a contributor to the de-Conversion blog, a resource for former or skeptical Christians.
This is my favorite quote of all time:
One love alone is still allowed us, that of works of art. Let us, wherefore, fling ourselves upon this last plank of salvation. Let us become mystics of art.”
-G.-Albert Aurier, from “Essay on a New Method of Cristicis

How did you come to be using my last name for this? Not at all bothered by it, just curious.

My handle is a reference to the British city. Think of it as a question. “Are you going to Brighton, or Dover?”

and you felt that orBrighton wouldn’t work for you? :)

Nope. Sorry. :)

If you’re going to Dover, the only reason can be because you need to catch a ferry to the continent.
There are many reasons for going to Brighton, including its architecture, night-life, beaches, and raffish reputation!

I’m just trying to get to France!

That would be the continent, yes. ;)
