A Couple of Questions

Should I change the name of this blog to something, say, less eponymous and close the kimono a bit? I suspect no one cares and it doesn't matter either way, but feel free to venture suggestions at my expense. Laura said ixnay to "A Thousand Monkeys Typing," so try again.

Incidentally, I've always used my name online (pretty much), in part because the internet would be a better place without anonymity. Why do people think it's normal to use IcePirate1983 on ebay (totally random name which without doubt is being used)?

  • Well, what about "reflections of a young scientist" :-)

  • Or possisbly "reflections of a young scientist's mindless prating rot with addional nonsense poppycock contributed by local italian"

    Actually, I think I've provided foder enough for TWO blog names.

    And no need to worry if it doesn't work for you, I am full of ideas and lots of smug hoity-toity... so just let me know if you need more suggestions.

  • Harsh!

  • People don't typically use their real names because it's easy for identity-theft crooks to sift the 'net, looking for info.

    I don't much worry about it, but it's not an irrational fear.

    As for the blog name, if you're interested in increased traffic, a catchy blog name is better than an eponymous name, because the latter doesn't provide a "hook".

    How about "The rambling aftereffects of an ice-pick to the brain" ?

  • Or "Exploring the..." or "Chronicling the..."

  • Well, there's that, but you also meet people from the inside out on the internet. It's weird.

    Also, all of these "suggestions" are unwieldy. 2 words or less.

  • Ah, yeah, that was kind of harsh. How about "sensitive ponderings"?

  • Guns and Monkeys.

    Doesn't have anything to do with the content posted here, but it sounds cool.

  • Well, G'n'M doesn't not have anything to do with the posting here either... Hmm, as long as I don't have to get cornrows like Axel Rose.

    "Sensitive Ponderings?" Does that name come with a, cough, estrogen pill?

    Ice Brain blog.

  • ?

    Like, ice wine? Ice pick (-> lobotomy)? Vanilla Ice?

    Hmm. I checked to see if The Drones Club was used, and it kinda is. Had it been open, that would have been an automatic flip.

  • How about: "Bile versus Male Chi"?

    By Anonymous Anonymous, at 23 August, 2007 15:29  

  • This has gone totally sideways.
