Yuko Munakata's Personal Stuff

Last updated: 8/21/07

I am an avid boarder, mountain biker, and kicker. I used to climb and blade, but it has been a while. I like almost all games, with SET as a favorite.

Randy O'Reilly and I have two cats, Fuzzy and Neko, and two virtual kids that we had through the magic of morphing! And even more magical, now we have Max Munakata! Max has short gut/short bowel syndrome and had TPN-associated Liver Disease. But Omegaven saved his life!

My sister Junko and her husband Dave Marr (not that one!) live nearby in Golden, CO! My other sister Naoko and her partner Mike are Engineering Associates in LA. My dad is a professor at Cleveland State University. My mom has retired from being a systems analyst for the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland. Here we are at the wedding of Junko and Dave. Here are some interesting images of Randy rendered by Dave: Receeding hair and gotee, Afro and gotee.


Life is a matter of a miracle that is collected over time by moments flabbergasted to be in each others presence.

Waking Life


Free will is an illusion of our ability to make choices, in the same way that our subjective sense of red is an illusion of color in the world.

Dave Jilk (on the views of determinists, which he does not believe)


The Brain -- is wider than the Sky --
For -- put them side by side --
The one the other will contain
With ease -- and You besides.

The Brain is deeper than the sea --
For -- hold them -- Blue to Blue --
The one the other will absorb --
As Sponges -- Buckets do.

The Brain is just the weight of God --
For -- Heft them -- Pound for Pound --
And they will differ -- if they do --
As Syllable from Sound.

Emily Dickinson


The opposite of a great truth is also true.

Niels Bohr
