Hello everyone.
This is a pseudonymous blog for me; my academic, mathematical and scientific journey. I have opted to go by the name "Somnambulatus", from Latin "somno-" meaning sleep and "ambulo" meaning walk. Besides a simplistic verbal appreciation for the word (its phonoaesthetics), I also feel that it applies to life currently. You see, the word is in the passive voice, meaning "that which has been sleepwalked (upon)". It refers to not the somnambular way we live our life as mindless drones/zombies, but the base thing we sleepwalk on, i.e. life. This is a blog about life. Mine, of course. But maybe it will affect yours.
It might be important to get to brass tax for a moment about what the blog actually is for. life and my life are entirely too general, and there could be a hundred million totally distinct blogs just going off that single premise. First and foremost, this is a blog about what is consuming my life, what a psychiatrist may call a "fixation", which currently happens to be academics. It will, generally, be about any topic I am intrested in and can talk at length about. (Yes, that is a dangling preposition.)
So, see you with my first actual post, I hope.
