in reply to Perl as a way of life

I agree with most dreadpiratepeter's comment above: I do have an involvement with music
I have played in a few MTG tournaments, and Go is my favorite board game.
I great love of learning, and a strong interest in spirituality (particularly Zen Buddhism).
I have never read Gödel, Escher or Bach though.
I've also practived Aikido for a few years.
