Well, this page is not quite up-to-date. The hair is gone, I am leaving in a few weeks for a quest in Asia, and beyond that, I'm just basically a lot more interested in life than computers or any form of permanence - these days. So find me on the road and let's share love and Dharma or maybe just sit. (Spt 02)

I live in the mountains near East Randolph, Vermont.

As an alumn of Northfield Mount Hermon, I try to find balance in the wonderful ironic complements of humanness: among the head, heart, and hand; between being a homebody and embracing the modern peripatetic lifestyle; and among production, consumption, and conservation. And as an alumn of Hampshire College, I'm learning to deal with angst.

Well then, what is peterchristopher.com?

This website, peterchristopher.com, is an experiment where I am delving into some possibilities in the use of the internet. Here I share some of my writings, host a fun picture gallery, and invite you to participate in dialogue. I'm not as interested in the technological features of the internet as in its human relations possibilities and implications. Technology and art are, however, a part of how I invite you to come explore cyber-me. I don't believe that the cyber-realm is more world-changing than spoken lanuage, written lanuage, the printing press, etc, but it happens to be one we are exploring now.

Is peterchristopher.com really anything like Peter Christopher the person? Why do we seek to make and share representations? These are some interesting questions I am implicitly exploring here. In exploring these issues, I believe I am sharing honest and interesting artifacts; I am not trying to create an alter-personality (or a complete description of my real personality).

Our cyberpersonalities are becoming an important component of our human psychologies; I think we could become more (or less) connected with one another and ourselves through this medium... just as in face to face conversations, we all still have much to learn about human relations in cyberspace and how they relate to real human relations. Many other folks, some of whom have links on the links page, have their own explorations of self online which that have been participating in for far longer than I. After a brief period in 1995, I've re-started dabblng in this project again in 2001.

Please feel free to anonymously explore my website, but also don't be too afraid to try on a little 'reach out and touch someone'. So click on that contact link on the left side and send me an email. If you're a long lost friend, I'd love to hear from you. If you're a new friend, don't be shy! And, old friends or new, if you'd like to come visit here in Vermont and experience some of The Good Life, stop on by for a spell. Just send an email or call ahead. There's always extra rooms for friends here at the Hurricane Hill Home for the Curious.

In the meantime, enjoy the show.

Peter
