An interview with James Barber of Our Revolution Lane County. Barber was a candidate for the East Lane County Commissioner position. He is a progressive Democrat who believes in raising the minimum wage to suit the growing cost of living, Medicare for ALL, and getting money out of politics. During his run for County Commissioner he found himself in hot water as some questionable tweets from his past surfaced and he was in a position far too many in the public eye find themselves these days. Having to defend the character of a much younger individual self. He showed that he has grown tremendously and has evolved as a human being and father. At the debate at which he addressed the issue the response to his heartfelt apology was as animated and supportive of any other topic discussed in the debate as a whole. Lane County residents, like all Americans, love a redemption story.

An interview with author and Eugene, Oregon resident Kyle Yamada.

Yamada is a high school teacher who loves geeking out with his students about technology, but he hates it when they ignore him to look at their phones. He's been fascinated by high tech and the future ever since he fell in love with movies like Blade Runner and Back to the Future as a kid in the 1980s. Now that 2015 has come and gone without flying cars or hoverboards, he is skeptical about the promise of technology yet still can't help but get excited about the newest gizmos, especially if they come in a sleek, black case.

In the rare moments when he's not teaching, creating, walking the dog or spending time with his family, Kyle enjoys reading classic science fiction. He lives in Eugene, Oregon with his wife and two kids. Metanid Convergence is his first novel.
