(8:03 PM) | Adam Kotsko:
Name Change
I am considering changing the name of "The Weblog," because I am tired of having stupidly plain names for my web page (i.e., "The Homepage"). My leading candidate, which is not entirely satisfactory, is "Memoirs of My Mental Illness," a "clever" reference to a book of the same title by Daniel Paul Schreber that was very influential in psychoanalytic circles. Since it occurred to me to do so and since no one could possibly stop me from doing so, I will now attempt to make a list of possible alternate choices off the top of my head:
- The Official Blog of NASCAR
- Frodo Lives!
- New York City?!
- Of Blogology
- The George W. Bush Fanclub
- Love is a Verb
- Crumbs, Crikey, Carrots
- Awkwardness, awkwardness...
- Armed Resistance
- The Blogosphere's Best-Kept Secret
- Kairos
- Great Chowder Recipes
- [Sic]
- Highly-paid Mercenaries
- San Narciso Community Blog
- Logorrhea
- The Gloaming
- Human, All Too Human
- Whither Oedipus?
- With Alacrity and Zeal
- Since I Gave Up Hope, I've Felt a Lot Better
- Ara vos prec
- The Idiot
That's probably enough for now. Although I probably took all the ones you were thinking of, now it's your turn! Simply let me know what name you think I should use, and I'll do whatever I end up deciding to do. As an added bonus, I challenge anyone to come up with the reference I intended to make with each possibility. Some of them, like the Bush Fan Club one, don't really have a reference -- most do.
