About Me

I'm Elliott Callahan. I hold a bachelor's degree in Linguistics from the University of California Santa Cruz, and I am part-time writer and blogger. I maintain a personal blog called Sour Apples, and I make semi-regular contributions to an online magazine called Plasma Pool.

As a former Christian and political conservative, I try to bring a unique outlook to politics, and am usually very outspoken and passionate in my convictions. As it's been said, there is no zealot like a convert -- I now self identify as a libertarian socialist and a militant atheist.

In my spare time, I dabble in web design and art. I am also a language enthusiast. I speak French, Spanish, and basic Arabic, and I can write Korean, Cyrillic, Turkish, Farsi and the International Phonetic Alphabet. As a former ESL and English grammar instructor, I am interested in the history and grammar of English.

I currently reside in Oakland, CA, and am employed at a San Francisco law firm.
