In LA

Because I haven’t written much specifically about LA, and because I’m leaving LA soon, I was thinking of changing the name of this blog to something more general. “The Ramble” came to mind. A general-purpose name like that both describes the fact that I’ve been writing about a bunch of seemingly disconnected topics, and also can be used in the names of each category page in a way that makes sense “The Chinese Language Ramble”, “The Judaica Ramble”, etc.

I figured I’d better do a quick google search first to see if there exist any other blogs out there called “The Ramble”. Sure enough, there does.

This reminds me of the early days of the web, when it quickly became impossible to register practically any word or combination of words that is in the dictionary because they were all already taken. Are we quickly headed in that direction here in the blogosphere–

Hey, who are you? What are you doing here? Get out of my apartment and put that katana away!

Who am I? You sent me. Just listen to this recording:“If I ever use the word blogosphere, please just kill me.” Sound familiar?

argh, you’re right. Not only did I just use the word “blogosphere”, but I actually believe the name of a blog is important, as if I’m marketing some product. Please get this over with quickly.

Let’s get on with it then. Snicker-snack!
