Sergey Brin, co-founder of Google–which owns Blogger–this week finally created a blog.  The blog’s first post, which can be found at http://too.blogspot.com/, reveals that Sergy is predisposed to be at greater risk for Parkinson’s Disease.  He found this out through the genetic testing company co-founded by his wife, 23andMe (”genetics just got personal).

Interestingly, Brin’s got no comments so far on his blog.  I’m not sure if they’re turned off, or if no one has felt compelled to comment yet.  Probably the first option.  

The blog is titled “Too”, which Brin explains:

Welcome to my personal blog. 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.

Frankly, I’m hoping that future posts won’t just be plugs for Google or affiliated companies.  Reading the post, while he does talk about the fact that he carries the G20195 mutation which puts him at greater risk for Parkinson’s, I got the sense that the post was more of an advertisement for how great 23andMe is.  Then again, it’s his blog, and he can do whatever the hell he wants with it.
