I’m still churning through all the comments people left regarding the possible name/brand change of my website. Lots of interesting angles to consider there, and I had several other really interesting conversations with people offline over the course of the past week. I still haven’t decided anything, but I definitely have a whole new resolve and a new outlook on all this - which is what I was really after all along, it turns out.

In any event, while I’m busy deciding, I’d like to play a little game inspired by a commenter called “aDude”. In some funny way, I feel like this dude’s comments really got at the heart of what it is I’m after: how does presentation and context affect interpretation. On the subject of what to change my site name to, he hilariously suggested:

Why not change it to “T. T. Bowker-Conservative Christian Sports Fan” (Boucher sounds too frenchy). Also use some MS Office clip art of a church and a football helmet for your logo. That way people who are scared of the occult wouldn’t be freaked out until about 2 seconds after they started reading your content.

Based on this example, I’d love to hear other funny suggestions for fictional characters that I could assume the identity of. Consider it an imaginative exercise, and hopefully in between the cracks of these flights of fancy, some drops of greater truth will fall.
