I didn't know what "blog" means just a week ago.
And suddenly, I noticed that many "diaries" by physicists are being replaced by "blogs".So, I decided to try by myself, too.
I know many Japanese physicists have their "research diaries" or "research blogs",and I found also some American physicists do the same thing.It is strange, but I haven't heared of anybody in the UK who is doing this. Maybe there are, maybe not.
I have a feeling that the Japanese and Americans are similar in this point, that is, writing diaries for other people.
What is the reason for this "diary"? They are supposed to be private by definition, aren't they?
I myself think why I want to write this kind of thing in the web, over and over again. I have not yet had the answer, but I can say one thing. I like to write and want them to be read since my elementary school days.
From the fact that my papers are sometimes cited by other physicists,my scientific papers are read by somebody,
which is quite rewarding to me. Unfortunately, it is rare to send messages about the contents of other people's paper
inside the nuclear physics community. (I think the reason is that nuclear physics does not have a central and common big problems everybody tries to attack, unlike particle physics. ) Probably, because of this, I want to show what I am doing and trying to do in my life of research, to other people. I don't know...
