The plunge

So I have opened a can of worms/Pandora's box/a blog. This was extremely difficult, mainly because of the burden of having to invent a clever blog title. Having recently proved that 0=0, I am not particularly confident of my inventiveness; furthermore, it is not clear what exactly this blog will be about, or what grand purpose it will serve. Maybe one day when I have finally attained some wisdom, this will evolve into an academic blog of some worth. Meanwhile, I will probably pen down trivial stuff, like my thoughts, new music that I discovered, my latest state of emotional distress, pictures of my lunch (of course not!), etc...

Now, what DO mathematicians do? Well, apart from sipping coffee, scratching their heads, fretting about cosmologically urgent problems nobody cares about, and joking about economists armed with calculus, they actually write blogs. See terrytao.wordpress.com for example. I'm not so sure about facebook, although Terence Tao does have a fan club there. So indeed, it is possible to be a Field's medallist, handsome, blog-writer, and have a wife and son. So far, I have taken the first plunge and started a blog, so let's see how deep this rabbit hole goes.
