- Fantasy and Imagination
- Virtual Reality
- Chaos
- Spirals
- Human Anatomy
- Trees (especially very gnarled and twisty ones)
- Patterns in nature (such as in rocks, plants, water, cloudforms)

- Mythology and Folklore
- Ruins and castles
- Imaginative art in all its forms
- Otherworldly / mythic beings
- Dreams and lucid dreaming
- Cthulhu / H.P. Lovecraft

Current / Recent (within a few years):

- Metal (music) in all its many varieties. This will probably become permanent...

I suppose that's enough for now...

WHOA, Cap'n crunch was a HACKER? I always thought he was just a PHREAKER! Records
indicate he was only a phreaker, and that IS how he got his name. He used a whistle
found in Cap'n Crunch to phreak. BTW I think he started phreaking, but I KNOW he
didn't start hacking!
