Birth of a blog

i work best when inspired to do something. So it was with the birth of this weblog. I caught on to this phenom last month but boy was i hooked! The blogs i read regularly over the past few weeks are(in alphabetic order ;)) :

Anvita Singh
Da Freak
Davenet
Gorgeous
Steven B. Johnson

As you can tell, these are mostly about computing/technology and ordinary people's lives- the former is my profession and the latter is pure joy. One is a peek to the future, the other is the living present - both are captivating in their unique ways. The common thread is that there is nothing ordinary in the way these wonderful people write. I guess people do it for different reasons ranging from the stubbornly altruistic to the absurdly egotistic - but the best blogs are written with refreshing candor and true passion. You go away with a slice of the pie that is humanity. I was truly inspired reading the above authors to start 'the runaway blog'(TRB). My heartfelt thanks to each one of them.

There are a zillion great blogs i dont know about yet or that i may never get to reading, but please let me know if you think i should read something, dont hold back!

And TRB will chronicle my 'inspired follies'(credits to G.B. Shaw) - in my life there seems to be no difficulty in finding them :).

Cheers.
