The blog title

I tried several different titles for the blog but all were taken. I should try them later and see if they actually are real blogs. Most sites you go to, when trying to create an email address, username or web page address will tell you that 90% of your attempted titles are taken. It is said that there is no such thing as a truly original thought; that somebody, somewhere at some time already thought of some variant of anything you can cook up in your head. But still I find it hard to believe that all of those very unique usernames I came up with have already been used by somebody. Perhaps my blog title ideas are not truly unique but given the web's history of falsely telling you that everything is taken, I'm not so sure. Nonetheless, I thought I'd share some of them here.

The Throne Room: This was my first choice. I spent a couple days trying to think of a title and finally settled on this, only to find I could not use it. I chose it because men do their best thinking on the toilet (also called the throne) and often this is where their best mind morsels come from.

Mind Morsels: See above.

Brain Droppings: The title of a George Carlin book that seemed appropiate here.

The Reporter's Notebook: When I wrote for a newspaper from 2000 to 2002, we used to write pieces called Reporter's Notebook. It was the one place in the paper where we could write about whatever we wanted from our own biased point of view. They were fun to write and let us flex our creative muscles a little more than newspaper journalism allows. My blog posts here will be along the same lines as the kind of stuff I used to write or wanted to write in my Reporter's Notebooks.

Others titles I tried: Brain Flatulence, Brain Farts, The Scribe, The Thinkwell, The Thinkspot, The Think Tank.
