I Blog, Therefore I Am

Or, in Latin, "blogito ergo sum". :-)

All right, hold your groans and metaphorical flying projectiles. The point is that having a blog entitles me to legitimately claim existence.

(Well, maybe not . Perhaps it's only a necessary condition for existence, not a sufficient one. But I'm going to go out on a limb and claim existence anyway.)

I knew I would enter this realm sooner or later--namely, when I finally came up with the perfect title. Eventually I realized that wasn't going to happen, so I just picked something. (I hope you like it.) Of course, the title I arrived at wasn't exactly chosen at random...

But there will be no "statement of purpose" forthcoming here. After all, if you want to know what this blog is about, read it! Chances are you won't be interested in every post--but then again, maybe your interests will broaden as a result of reading Mathemusicality. That is among the loftier of my goals in writing here. (I also have other, less lofty aims, of course--but these need hardly be specified, since they are shared by most blogs.)

I think that's enough ambition to get things started...

Welcome to Blogistan. :D

Nice first post by the way, and I'm sure we could argue about local or global existence as well. ;) Rather than 'claiming' existence, you might just get away with claiming uniqueness instead!

OK, I'll shut up now. (Blame my calculus lecturer :p) Have fun blogging.

beans: As for uniqueness, well, the jury is still out!
