    • Anything of decent quality.. where real creative work went into composing the work.. not 'corporate' junk.
  • Computer sciences of various types (particularly object technology).
  • Interesting and varied discussions, usually on intellectual matters.
  • Various forms of metaphysics, mostly from a hypothetical viewpoint.
  • Astrology, but not the cheesy "Lounge Lizard" variety.
  • So-called 'conspiracy' theories, secret societies, etc.
  • Free-energy devices, and other extremely modern forms of technology that are far from mainstream.

  • Issues related to downtrodden people in general.

It's kind of sad, that after moving to Takoma Park, getting a new job as a programmer, getting to know a bunch of folks I'll have to work with for a good while (hopefully), and everything else in my life, that the most exciting thing for me is having a new sofa.

Isn't it nice? It doubles as a bed!

Philosophies

I have quite a few of them, depending on which angle you're coming from.
