Valley Zen is a blog exploring the intersection of Technology and Zen in Silicon Valley. Blog authored by two ValleyZen witnesses, a Zen Valley lawyer and a ValleyZen artist. Their goal, the creation of a platform for eclectic unusual, artistico-technological ideas, observations, visions, provocations, musings.

Their credo is that the matter of Silicon Valley is technology-- Zen is its spirit. Through musings, interviews, reminiscences, Silicon koans, leaps of imagination, questions and sometimes — even answers, Valley Zen intends to bring about understanding.

What is TOTSE all about, anyway? A lot of people have some weird idea that this web site is a Bad Place, a place for hackers, software pirates, and anarchists. The reason that they think this is that there are informational text files on here about hacking, piracy, and anarchy.

However, there are also text files on here that discuss politics; democratic, right wing, left wing, libertarian, communist, and everything in between, but this is not a political web site. There are files on here that discuss Jesus Christ, Muhammed, Buddha, Crowley, John Smith, and "Bob", but this is not a religious web site.

There are files full of short stories, science fiction, humorous articles, and great works of literature, but this is not a literary web site.There are files with information on rocketry, radio broadcasting, chemistry, electronics, genetics, and computers, but this is not a technical web site. This web site is about INFORMATION. All sorts and all viewpoints. Some of the information you will agree with, some you will find shocking, and some you will probably disagree with violently.
