Naming things 2: Loving Words and Numbers
Posted by leerocco on November 6, 2007
Ok. I’m about to change the name of the blog again.
As I do so, I am letting go of the current name, Loving Words and Numbers: Forget(s) Eats Shoots and Leaves. I don’t know what exactly the book (is that what it was) Eats Shoots and Leaves was about, but I have the general idea that it has something to do with the ambiguity in the meaning of the title phrase. So, what was in a name:
- I like ambiguities like that but recognize that this is lame, so I wanted to imitate and outdo that title with the title of my blog.
- I also haven’t read Baudrillard’s Forget Foucault, but have thought that was a great title for a number of years. This was another imitation but not really intended to outdo.
- Ok, I have to face the fact that I can support the claim that I “outdid” Eats Shoots and Leaves.
- I apparently have love on the brain, since this was the second title involving love.
- Ir-regardless, I do love words and numbers.
