    Hello, my name is Dwayne M and I'm currently living in the US, land of infinitely looping untruths.

    My work: information technology consultant, a career which has provided an ongoing illustration of the Buddhist principle of impermanece.

    My interests: it's not an exaggeration to say 'everything' though of course, with wildly varying levels of enthusiasm.

    but enough about me...

    Hello,
    this is Antoine 'Oldcola' V., Bordeaux, France. Nice place to live, bad place to work. At least as biologist if you don't want to be 'academic'. Decided to move away.

    I like everything 'alive' and particularly what can be prepared for drinks or food or used to prepare drinks of foods, say bacteria and yeast.

    Hiya, I am ChrisW of CutieProgrammer.com and PEI, Canada (the land of illegally possessed carbonated / alcoholic beverages in aluminum cans and some random red-heads).

    I work in IT as a Wireless iNet Technician / programmer and I run a small business for web-stuffs. Most of my free time is spent drinking whiskey (seagram's 83) and writing.

    Hello, my name is Karl. I'm from Minnesota, where we eat hotdish. Yum.

    I'm interested in all sorts of stuff.

    I recently graduated from college with a degree in anthropology, which qualifies me for a career bartending or waiting tables.

    I currently work assisting in the tuning and maintenance of pipe organs. It pays better than bartending, except on weekends.

    Well then, please tell us what the hell a hotdish is! I can think of a few possibilities...ie. 'That babe is a really hotdish..' if this is so then does the use of the singular imply that there is only one attractive female homonid in Minnesota? Then again, it could be part of the SETI project...I'm studying misanthropology

    To my new hive-mind cluster; At least in my perception of the truth:

    I am Altaire, or Alexander Jensen – The escapist.
    I reside in the scandinavian Kingdom of Denmark, while “enlightening” my brain with the useless garbage that is commonly taught in my so-called high-tech society, purely to gain merit in other non-academic context environments. I do study a bit of martial arts, complex philosophy, theosophy, religion and culture lore, chaos-math, physics and archaic literature.
    I do a lot of writing, a lot of reading, a lot of blasting my psyche away with art and deafening metal and industrial noise concerts. Just currently I am experimenting a bit with brainwave-manipulation software along with meditative reflection techniques, mainly to be able to dive deeper into even more lucid-dreaming.
    I get stimuli from finer French food, ale and mead, video-games, and tabletop games like FUDGE. I do a bit of fractal geometrics and read comics too*… Oh, yea, and I do have sexual intercourses occasionally.

    Oh and, uh, I’m digging the technocracy stuff a wee bit…

    My name is David. I am currently consuming the public purse for little, in fact, no return. I have come here as I would rather be paid to read this forum than produce any work of note. Greetings Dan, it has been too long. I am skyped up to the max, with a web cam as well, so we can get fruity if you call me.

    Not sure what my user name is mind you... Hope you are well - moved to London, tis a fat town with muchos amusement and fun. Down with Leeds, I hope it floods, or something. I like the sound of you bike, do you have some pictures - you could still trek across Russia on that?

    I'm Cyclopsis Raptor, aka: CR. I have a real name, but since I sign most everything I do with my username, I just use it as my real name basically. I've had this name several years, so there's really no need asking what it means..it's just my name now. No, unlike popular opinion, it's not a sexual innuendo, it's just a name.

    Oh, and I like using pronouns!

    Hello everybody. I'm here because someone keeps sending me E-mails to check it out. I was initially disappointed with the lack of nudity, but now see participation as a means of learning how to spell and puctuate good.

    Yes, "what" can be a pronoun. Very good.

    Yes, ''he'' can be, although I suspect there's a lot more to him than that.

    Hi to all the assorted oddities and entities introduced here. My name is Jim, I'm an old friend of Dan's from his past life.
    I'm working in a young person's project right now but graduated in philosophy a few years back and still therefore obsessed with what I want, what i know, what is good, what is real and so on (and being continually dissatisfied with any answers).
    So despite my better judgement I have wired myself up to this matrix. Can any of you intelligent and strange entities shed any light?

    Hei there allihopa,

    I am Phobos from... well nowhere in particular. I have all but eradicated my nationality and now just please myself by saying I am international (although sometimes I like to pretend I am Scandinavian).

    I like words... especially words like extrapolate and endeavour (but not pronounced the Australian way ... well maybe sometimes, but only as a joke) and well banana. No special reason, just like the way they sound and feel vocalized by me.

    Hi,

    I was referred to The Huge Entity by a friend who sent links to some of your posts, Danieru, and I liked what I saw.

    I suppose if my name were pronounced by a native Japanese speaker, I'd be called Mikeru. When my friend Brad Warner lived in Japan, the same kind of thing happened to him. (BTW, if you haven't read Brad's book Hardcore Zen then visit his website and go get his book.)

    So who am I? (Now THERE'S a Zen Buddhist question for you!) The Zen answer would be (quoting Bodhidharma) "I don't know."

    But the conventional answer is that I teach Technical Communication at New Mexico State University, volunteer for Transhumanist orgs (the World Transhumanist Association, and also the Institute for Ethics and Emerging Technologies), and serve as a Zen Buddhist priest in our little local sangha.

    Nice to be here.

    Mike

    G'day from New Zealand.

    Linked here randomly from the Atheism Online forum, to which I contribute, and was almost immediately impressed (that is to say scared into soiling my pants) by the awesome levels of IQ displayed by your contributors. It was like opening a drawer in a hotel room and finding a copy of Hofstadter's 'Godel, Escher, Bach:' in place of the usual banality.

    Amongst you I fear I shall be as a midget on the shoulders of giants, but as every Don Quixote needs his Sancho Panza I hope for your tolerance and forbearance.

    I was once from ye Olde England too, but fled down here to the remotest inhabitable part of the earth - save perhaps for Pitcairn - after Chernobyl. Down here I too have tea and Yorkshire pud with Sunday lunch (and New Zealand lamb) but the lager is cold. One thing we don't have is Real Ale, and Tman if you don't drink a pint or two of that now and again, at least for me, shame on you. It's almost worth risking nuclear fall-out and Tony Blair for.

    Hello people. I am Max. Nothing special. I am very apethetic but try to overcome this pitfall. I live in Wisconsin, don't have a job, have not gone to college, and am pretty much just wandering around (metaphorically speaking). trying to find myself.
