Dan’s Blog
So... This is my first blog! How exciting! Over time it will mostly be happening in the form of lists, questions, data, hopefully culminating in many different forms of charts and graphs. But here is an initial note in order to get the 'blogging ball' rolling.
My primary aim\hope for blogging in the for mentioned manner is to see how the accumulation of data and various kinds of information (for example carbohydrate consumption for the week) can establish weather certain aspects of existence (in this case my own existence) could somehow benefit from the measuring of everyday tasks, habits, preferences, and assumptions. I even hope to find that these 'study logs' or if you will 'study blogs' observe patterns that might point to a new, previously unseen sense of, dare I say, 'meaning', (if meaning, is indeed calculable by the collection of simple data) as it applies to what I might usually assume to be a particularly unordered, shabby, very confused attempt at my existence.
Be sure to know however, I am not a mathematician, statistician or a scientist. I'm dan best. Sure I've read a few books, but hey I am not attempting to reduce the complexities of our momentary fleeting experience on this beautiful earth to a few blots of ink on paper or pixels on a screen. That I'm quite sure is not possible. Yet if I can glean a few coherent glimpses of progress or un progress because I took the time to record a few habitual details, then that would be in itself progress!
So here's to hoping, (with your input here and there) I can kick that 'blogging ball', into the back of the net!!!
