The Digital Fortress of Mind

The name of this blog was named based on the book Digital Fortress (1998) by Dan Brown. Although I haven't read this book, I wiki-ed it before. Wiki-ing movies and books I intend to read later became a habit of mine. I do not like surprises, and my reading delight lies in the details, not the actual story. Back to the topic at hand, Digital Fortress, in the book, is a code that destroys the security of computer and allow all data to flow out. Its a worm that eats away all the protective layers of files and disperse them to the world. This blog is the journal blog, a device to type out my thoughts. From my mind and the world, there is this layer of protection. Nobody can read my mind and to engage a conversation with a wider audience, it is the internet that allows me to do so. In some way, this blogging tool breaks that barrier between my mind and the world, allowing me to pour out my thoughts into this world, hence the name "The Digital Fortress of Mind".
