Biostatisticians as bloggers

Today, i came across a biostatistician blogger... it is amusing how he writes about his craft... i actually wish that i am like him, very able and seem happy, and contented with his chosen profession. I am supposed to be like that, need to be like that. Browsing his blog entries make me insecure actually, with my work... because all i have been doing are all applications in observational studies, i'm a little bit rusty with regards to applications in clinical trials... anyways, i hope someday i would be able to post just like this biostatistician blogger :)
