The username is from a recurring dream involving masks I had in high school.
what i do
[ edit ]
I have a bachelor's degree in Interdisciplinary Computing and the Arts (Visual Arts emphasis) from UC San Diego . I make websites and pretty pictures. I also cook for a living.
what i love
[ edit ]
My interests are multifarious:
Cooking (and eating). Favorite cuisines include Indian , French , Japanese , Thai , Vietnamese , Greek , Italian , and Southeastern American (soul food and Creole /Cajun ). My cream puffs will make you weep for joy.
Anime , Japanese woodworking, traditional furniture, Japanese architecture , the language (an isolate ), and many other Japan -related things. I am that most rare of Japanophiles -- a grounded, pragmatic one, fairly knowledgeable about the seedy side of Japanese history : racism in Japan , burakumin , and other subjects the Japanese would rather you not know about. Ask me sometime.
Experimental film.
Witchcraft , rootwork and other forms of magic . I do not subscribe to them nor do I practice, but they fascinate me as a possible precursor to religion and a psychologically interesting phenomenon.
Music — favorites are jazz , twentieth-century classical music, punk (mostly British. American punk rock has historically been mostly unadventurous, with a few notable exceptions), post-punk , indie rock (whatever that means anymore), hip-hop , noise music , IDM , some trance , experimental dub, industrial , drum and bass and its offshoot drill and bass , and a host of other music I couldn't begin to classify. My tastes usually run towards the extreme, the off-putting, and the fairly obscure.
The study of comparative religion .
Zen Buddhism , particularly the Rinzai school .
The study of maledicta (swear words).
Physics , especially quantum physics , astronomy and chemistry . I was a chemistry student before switching majors, and my interest here has been near-lifelong.
Spaceflight . I'm more of a history buff in this area, especially as NASA hasn't done anything terribly interesting since Skylab .
Masks , their social implications, and uses in meditation.
Typography .
Linguistics and languages .
Words in general. I still get happily lost in a good dictionary .

I've been here for a while, but I tend to be more of a lurker. So far, my contributions have been rather minor: reworking of clumsy writing, correction of typos, and the like. If you're actually curious, you can see what I've been up to here or here .
