Please help me. I am very much tempted to write more of those. And I need to find a better name to call them. The current name is not so practical, I decided. Frits is now featuring my blog on the front page and all it says there now is "Featured: rik's blog". That is not very specific and it does not explain why it's featured. And it has the word "rik" in it 8-( .
That's why we need a better name. One that will stick. One that we can use throughout the site and maybe even elsewhere.
Before I pick a name and try to stick with it, I would like to hear your suggestions. You are creative people. You are, after all, robot builders.
Please mind that the new name must:
be short
describe the content (you may decide what that means to you)
not be rik specific
And it would be nice if the name:
does not suck
indicates that this is periodical content (although that is a blatant lie)
would tie it in with letsmakerobots.com (for the outside world)
is not (too) geeky/techy/nerdy/robotical (we have enough of that going around)
is not a big play on words (dito)
could be easily pictured in a logo
Thanks for the help,
Rik
Update 18 nov:
Inspired by your responses and by a sleepless night with a scrap of paper on the night stand, I came up with some sort of ideas cloud. (high resolution here)
Still open for more suggestions. Or preferences.
Update 22 nov:
Thank you all for helping. I've made up my mind. It shall henceforth be known as
"The Pulse"
(Sensing the living LMR community since 2008w43).
I Figured the word "periodical" would be somewhat redundant with "Pulse". I also liked the brevity of it. The subtitle might evolve over time. Check out the first (real) edition of The Pulse.
No way I’m gonna go through THAT Rik-Pik rhyme again. Haunted me throughout my childhood. (Hint for non-Dutch readers: your “pik” is ehmmm, you know, your, ughgh, your "thingy. OR DID YOU KNOW THAT ALREADY MR “IBEENAROUND”!?!
Consider calling your blog “Chris’ ■■■■” !
I will consider anything with “Thingey” in the the name though. Is that inconsistent? Is inconsistent a bad thingey?
Just because thing(e)y is a well established LMR word.
Now I have to add “Pik” or “Pick” to the list? --The little notebook I bought to keep my international pee-pee slang translations in is filling up fast! --Yup, seriously I do have a notebook for this…
We don’t need no stinking C. Plus: that saves you space in your precious notebook. I doubted not a moment that you would actually keep one. I even guessed as much when writing my earlier response.
