It was created in July 2001 on the Moveable Type platform, and cloned from an older Blogger based weblog I had been using since 1999 to keep a record of research, interesting articles and web finds. I was inspired to start it by Jorn Barger&#8217;s magnificent <a href=\"http:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20130325061846\/http:\/\/www.robotwisdom.com\/\">RobotWisdom<\/a> proto-blog.<\/p>\n<p>The name <strong>LimbicNutrition<\/strong> is obviously a bit silly and way too long, but at the time I started the blog I thought it was devilishly clever.
