What is your (science) blogging writing style, Deepak Singh?

Posted by attilachordash on November 11, 2007

deepakActually the idea of asking science bloggers about their style came to my mind reading one email remark of Deepak on the writing style. Deepak is the guy behind business/byte/genes/molecules and he was a Sci Foo camper this year. He is one amongst the few bloggers who are standing at the intersection of science and technology and being the founder of Bioscreencast he is actively experiencing the life of a bioweb entrepreneur.

My style is a heady mix of spontaneity, continuous partial attention, a total lack of time, the random connection of ideas formed at different times, semi-formal essay-style writing, attempts at humor, deep thought, tempered enthusiasm, and unbridled passion.
