Wholesome 8===D

I had this little tit for tat (until she banned me) with aysosytreeo and teal_cuttlefish. They think I'm gay, hate lesbians, don't have a sense of humor, and that "my actions have nothing to do with buddhism" (which may be true in that case, but in a more Zen sense how can it possibly be true?).

This isn't surprising since you might assume after reading aysostreeo's profile that she is pagan/wiccan (what's the difference, really?), polyamorous, and wants to completely ruin her children's lives home school her kids. For whatever reason, I just don't mix with that whole crowd — and it's not because I haven't tried too.

Anyway, this isn't the first time I've set off someone's gaydar. So just out of curiosity...

Do you think I'm gay? Srsly, u guys.

What makes you say that?

( Some thoughts on religion. )

I just watched a lecture from Ted Nelson at the Googleplex. It turns out Ted Nelson and I have a few things in common. For starters, we both have ADD. Ted Nelson grew up in Greenwich Village, and I've been to Greenwich Village twice. We're both a little OCD about organizing information. Ted Nelson coined the term Hypertext, and I coined the term GeoJerking.

Ted Nelson has spent most of his life working to create and popularize Project Xanadu. I get scared sometimes of falling in to a trap like that.

Larry Page said kind of the secret of Google was being able to do a lot of things quickly and then knowing when you have a winner. The Buddha said: if you cling, you will suffer. Adam Carolla said (when leaving Loveline): I don't suspect Ill like my next job as much as I liked Loveline but it's not always about doing what's easiest or what you enjoy the most. Change is often times sad but rarely bad. In the big picture a life without change is a stagnant one.


So, what have I learned? Sakyamuni Buddha = Larry Page = Adam Carolla.
