Sergey Brin’s Blog

Google’s co-founder Sergey Brin has recently started a personal blog on google’s very own blogging platform - Blogger. The blog URL is: too.blogspot.com.

“While Google is a play on googol, too is a play on the much smaller number - two. It also means in addition, as this blog reflects my life outside of work,” says Sergey.

Minutes after he has published his first post, he shared something very tragic and personal:

For more than 20 years, my mother has worked with computers at NASA. So, when she developed a pain in her hands the diagnosis seemed easy — Repetitive Stress Injury. Except that it wasn’t so easy. As her mysterious symptoms progressed it varied — RSI, fibromyalgia (unexplained pain), Lyme Disease, and so forth. It was only after visits to many specialists over a number of years that the diagnosis settled — Parkinson’s Disease. Since there is no clear test for Parkinson’s — it is defined by its symptoms — we only grew certain as those symptoms developed and as her medications began to alleviate them.

Currently the blog posts has 0 comments, which is probably because the comments are being moderated. I guess most people probably either don’t believe that it’s really Sergey, or just don’t know what to say to him. But anyway I really look forward to read more about his life outside of Google, he is a human being after all.
