Inspirations

There is a blog which I read with great interest. 

Its author offered an explanation for his blog's name:
When I first started blogging back in 2001 (at that time it was in Japanese), I made up a word Econoclasm as the blog title. One reason is, as "econo-" implies, I was studying economics (and I am now, too). Another reason is I felt like I was an iconoclast (and I do now, too). The last reason is I liked (and still do like) this tune called Iconoclasm, composed and performed by Buck-Tick. So this is the theme song of Econoclasm.
I made up the word Unconoclasm as the blog title partly because of this blog. Another reason is the fact that I study art history and theory. Iconoclasm is an oft-discussed trope in this secular part of academia. Yet another reason is those NRMA ads that have been in vogue.
