Threads on the Web

Where you can find me...

My presence on the internet is scattered far and wide. Here are most of the places you will find me:

[NOTE: Most of these are now "historical"; updates will be given where available.]

The Temple Guy
(http://www.thetempleguy.com)
[NOW thetempleguy.org]

This is my oldest and largest page. It started back in 2001 as my Aki Meguri at www.connectedjapan.com (now defunct) when I was walking through Japan. This layer survives in slightly revised form [twice].

Next was my pre-China and early-days-in-China blog, "The Barefoot Fool." [Coming BACK soon.] When that blog died, I transferred the material here.

The rest of The Temple Guy was created to record information on temples in China. There are also some semi-philosophical essays in the Articles section; these will eventually be transferred to You Are That (see below). [Someday...]

The Laughing Buddha

(http://www.thelaughingbuddha.org) GONE

This page was created to promote activities for expats and English-speaking Chinese in Shenzhen. We have slowed down quite a bit and readjusted our focus, so the page is rather quiet. Eventually it will probably be absorbed into another project "in development." [I left Shenzhen in 2015! Some material will probably be archived here, though...]

You Are That

(http://www.youarethat.org)
NOW Here

This page is a repository for my philosophical and religious ramblings. The best introduction is the "Foundational Essays." There's also a lot on Joseph Campbell. And in the summer of 2006 I had a unique experience teaching in a temple in Fujian; much of this was covered in The Journal (where you are now). Expect more of this as I prepare to go to work in a temple in Jiangsu later in 2007.

The Shenzhener Blog

(http://shenzhener.blog.com/) GONE

One purpose of The Laughing Buddha was to provide information in English for visitors and resident expats in Shenzhen. It became easier to do this through occasional posts to a blog. This has been suspended while we work on a new project...

"In Development"

Now we are working on the homepage that Shenzhen has long needed, with a complete City Guide, magazine-like Feature Articles, and an active Community section. Stay tuned... [This became "Shenzhen Buzz," also now GONE.]

Well, that about covers my web [former] endeavors. By the time you've read everything that's already online, we should have a LOT more for you. [But see what we've got NOW!]

Peace.
