Doors and windows are cut for a room,
yet it is the space where there is nothing
that makes it useful.

Laozi ( 老子, Lao Tzu), poem #11 from Tao Te Ching
I like classical piano, traveling, computers, music history & theory & composition, writing, teaching, photography, mathematics, philosophy, politics, conversation, meeting new people, tea, wine, parties.

My favorite types of music are baroque & contemporary (20th/21st cent.) classical, jazz (esp. solo piano), and dance/trance/experimental/glitch.

My favorite type of TV programs are old and new BBC comedies, the orig. Twilight Zone & Outer Limits, Doctor Who (with Tom Baker).

My favorite movies are 1940s & 50s monster flicks, sci-fi, Asian. I don't like violence of any kind (unless with rubber-suited monsters).
