What’s in a name?
For the past couple weeks, I’ve been trying to think of a fun domain name. I have an uncommon last name so I have lastname.tld, but I also want something just fun. Some of the new TLDs (top level domains, if you’re unfamiliar) are pretty sparsely populated, so you can get a fun snappy one with relative ease. Problem is, my mind has gone blank.
I get stuck here a lot. I find myself before some vestige of identity, and I feel the need to sort out the window dressing before I furnish the house (so to speak). I want to think about it until I land on something. However, I know the identity is found Out There. Over the past years I’ve put a lot of work into convincing myself I don’t have to have the identity solidified before I permit myself to live. One thing that has helped recently is to be unsure around people. I think that’s what I’m doing here. I’ve been devoting thought to this in favor of other projects, many of which were really starting to excite me. I’ve also been pretty burnt this week, and that makes it easy to fall into entrenched patterns. These words are helping me put it down for a while, I think. Time to call my grandma, work on this week’s meal plan, read a little, and maybe tinker with the home lab adventures I’ve been starting.
