Cell 75

rejected blog names


The Pensky File - (from Seinfeld) with the title "Are you Pensky Material?"
- Good but ultimately unsatisfying and this is not a Seinfeld blog
Sector 7G - The part of the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant where Homer works.
- Taken by a communications firm and at least one blog. Hilariously the site for the communications firm has the pretentious tagline, "WARNING this site contains original ideas". I suppose that is despite the fact the company's name is based on a location in the Simpsons
PullMyFinger
- Too flippant, although that reason will seem odd to those that know me and you'll see it's sort of taken if you Google it
AllThingsMatty - Nice and all encompassing.
- BUT, ultimately too close to Toronto (or is it NY now?) blogger Christie's site AllThingsChristie . She has a post up now on large sandwiches that was, i think, ultimately started by this BoingBoing post on a 30,000 calorie belt popper.
Mattysworld - maybe later for personal stuff as commentary on this site may well veer off into politcs, ideas and debates, etc.
Approprate Clothing - Good but a bit long for my tastes. It's derived from a Ben Zander anecdote about something his father used to say: "There is no such thing as bad weather, only inappropriate clothing." Wise man that Mr. Zander.
