: Today, while I was about one third of the way through my pancakes, I suddenly realized that many of us have entire interests that we are truly excited about. each of us is an armchair expert in lots of little things...
wow what a great thread this is! the best one i've seen in a while!
ok here is a quick list
idm (intelligent dance music)
minimalism (in music, design, architecture, art and as a way of life)
programming, java in practice and also history and general, fundamental ideas
linux
chaos theory / indeterminancy found in order, mandelbrot, etc
zen
the tao
martial arts history and practice
chinese philosophy / the three elements / i ching etc
energy in and around the human body
structure
attachment parenting
dream language / dreams and art
haruki murakami (jason knows this guy)
finding essence in the spaces between ordinary things
play / silliness / random behavior emerging into patterns that are fun
the site linked below somehow melds a lot of stuff that i'm interested in all together, programming, design, structure, minimalism, indeterminancy and play. you can definitely waste a lot of time there if you aren't careful.
