Once there was a well known philosopher and scholar who devoted himself to the study of Zen for many years. On the day that he finally attained enlightenment, he took all of his books out into the yard, and burned them all.

Two children found a bag containing twelve marbles. They argued over how to divide the toys and finally went to see Nasrudin. When asked to settle their disagreement, Nasrudin asked, "Would you like me to divide the marbles the way I would or the way God would?"
The children replied, "We want it to be fair. Divide the marbles the way God would."
So, Nasrudin counted out the marbles and gave three to one child and nine to the other.
So, what do you want to know? I have a Ph.D. in Sociology, and I'm currently working as a game designer for a massively multiplayer online (MMO) game company. I'm designing a virtual world that combines the best of MMOs and the best of social networking sites.
Which do you think enables better online flirting: MySpace or Second Life?
In the virtual world, anyone can be a gothic lolita!
I'm a lover of many things Japanese: Speed Racer, Zen, Anime & Manga, Harajuku fashion, sushi.
Take the illustrations of Range Murata. I love it!
I'm a lover of many things British: bitter ale, tea, Monty Python, Doctor Who, the many British dialects of English, McVities Chocolate Digestives.
The most profound ideas in the social sciences are 'cultural relativism' and 'social constructionism.' They dovetail nicely with the Buddhist notions of 'illusion' and 'no-self.'
