Special Projects:
Welcome to James Baquet (.com)!
This site was started in 2009, and was completely reconceptualized in November, 2023.

| Dad 'n' me, late 1950s |
It now serves as a guide, not only to its original contents, but also incorporating three other well-developed sites:
- Professor Jim Bucket, home of my alter ego and dedicated to helping you learn the stuff "everybody ought to know"
- Baquet's Guide to the World's Classics, bringing you the scoop on books and authors across cultures and down through the ages
- The Temple Guy, chronicling a huge number of temple visits and offering up my understanding of Buddhist teachings
The content of the original JB.com is still here, though sometimes in modified form.

| My skinny high school self, and my first boi, Josh, early 1970s |
This site and the others have also absorbed materials from the now-defunct REALIZE! You Are That site, which had a wide array of my "spiritual" writings, from Indian religions to universalism to Joseph Campbell. As those materials migrate out of my hard drive and onto the site(s), I'll present a guide to finding them all.

The tabs at the top of the page lead to:
- Top: right back here
- Books & Lit[erature]: pages meant to enlighten (and sometimes annoy)
- Education: more nuts-and-bolts kinds of lessons
- My Bio[graphy]: Get to know me!
- Wisdom: teachings from and about the world's sacred and secular wisdom traditions
- Buddhism+: chronicles of visits to hundreds of temples, mainly in Japan and China, as well as what I've learned of this practical tradition--some of it learned by hanging out with monks and other Buddhists, and some from studying for a (never-finished) PhD at a Buddhist university.
- Places: I've been to a lot, including in the four countries I've lived in--and I've got the pictures to prove it!
- Misc[cellany]: stuff that just doesn't fit anywhere else
- Socials: Still want more? Check me out on a wide variety of platforms, and with varying focus (e.g. education, books and authors, temples)
NOTE: I used to think it was important to have a "Gallery" to show my photos, and a "Library" for my articles and such. I've gone integrated, placing photo albums and writings within the categories they address. You'll find them easily enough.
Anyway, that oughta keep ya busy for a while!
