I'm just completely intimidated by this list, what's a mandelbrot? Is that what Howie mandel cooks on the grill? Isn't intelligent dance music an oxymoron, or are we talking flamenco?
There seems to be an abundance of interest in eastern philosophy and culture around here ya'll must be college boys. Minimalism I can really dig. What exactly is Attachment Parenting? Why does that term make me nervous? John you are cool, but I'm scared of your list!

: : 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.
