First blog.....

....one googolplex minus one to go. In case you were wondering, one googol is 10 to the power of 100. One googolplex is 10 to the power of one googol. Carl Sagan estimated that it would be physically impossible to write out the number because there is simply not enough space in the universe to do so. In fact, there are less than one googol number of elementary particles that exist in the observable universe. Therefore, a googolplex is essentially infinity. Better yet, a googolplex is halfway to infinity.

Think about it.

Lets be certain about one thing. I will not reach my goal of blogging one googolplex blogs. Nor will I even remotely approach an infinitisemly (too lazy to spell check) small fraction of that number. However, I have made the bold move into the new frontier of thought that consumes this so called blogosphere. I have always snickered at people who "blog". Mabye its because the word "blog" itself makes me think about an amorphous amoeba that has invaded our urban dictionary like an unstoppable force.

I dont know, I am just ranting. Isnt that all you people do anyway? What am I saying? Who is reading this? Who cares? I am writing to write. In any case, I am drawn to do so by a recent turn of events that have steered my part-time interest towards social media.

I have a few months to kill before heading to dental school (where will I end up? Miami, SF, NYC, Philly??? I'll find out soon.) In the mean time, I needed to find work to save moolah for a trip to Southeast Asia. Long story short, I began working at my brother's company, klout.com. Pretty interesting stuff, and we're located in the Twitter building in SF. Anyways, I bit the hook, and here I am. Hello world.
