Wow, I am surprised I hadn't found this Seraphinian community earlier -- over 100 members!

My name is Tad, and you may know me from such online Seraphinian webpages as Orkut.com's Codex Seraphinianus community, and the Codex wiki (www.blinkenlichten.info/codex/ ).

You can't join orkut.com without an invitation, so that Codex community is at a meager couple dozen (and 90% of them are Brazilian). So I was happy to find this one, with so many people. I also was surprised to see in the photo section here: photos of Luigi Serafini that I hadn't seen before; and a picture from the Codex with Klingon below it -- since I was the one who scanned the image for a Klingon review of the Codex ;-)

As far as my history with the Codex, after reading about it in Douglas Hofstadter's book "Metamagical Themas", I researched it a bit on the web and decided to buy my own copy of it a couple years ago. After starting the Orkut.com community about the book, I also have contributed most of the content for the Codex wiki, with the help of one of the Brazilian orkut members. If you haven't seen it already, I'd recommend taking a look at the wiki at www.blinkenlichten.info/codex/ (the username and password is "test", to prevent spambots from adding advertisements to the pages)

I'll post more later here, I'm sure..
