Why, Tripitaka?
Originally I chose the name as an alias for playing quake 3 arena. I played the character that looked like a monk and remembered the TV show "monkey", Tripitaka was the monk character. He was a male character played by a female actress (Masako Odate, aka Masako Natsume) who sadly died far too young and was a very beautiful woman (but I digress). At the time I had read some comments about the amount of males using female characters/names on online games or as alias's on forums, I found it amusing to pick something so androgynous. Ironically since then I've become a vegetarian (for about 9 years now) and developed an interest in Zen, ah... ..the power of names.
Looks like an interesting book by the way. I have a rather large book on mesoamerican art
That I've own for about 25 years or so, stunning stuff. I'm particularly fond of the architecture. I've read quite a bit about mesoamerican archaeology too. I have to admit, I love the way it throws up so many curiosities the archaeologists can't work out.
