Science may not be random, but I am

The "random" in the name of this blog describes my attitude to science. Despite my professed, and mostly true, scientific predisposition, I am not methodical in my approach to science.

I am not a scientist. I am not trained as one, and I don't make my living off it. I only have limited resources and time to spend on doing or learning science. However, I love science. I believe it's central to human civilization and survival. And I don't want to be disadvantaged in this respect. I want to keep abreast of the advances in science. This, I mostly do by reading articles off the internet and some books. This is neither a rigorous nor an effecient approach. But this is what works for me, for now, atleast.

As I go through this process of scientific discovery, although an indirect one, I have often wanted to keep a journal of it. I have wanted to share it with others. I don't know why I didn't think of blogging it earlier!
