The New Blog

Tuesday, May 22nd, 2007

I have now taken a cue from Mark and created a new blog (this one) for somewhat more random, personal, and less technical posts. As much as I know everyone enjoys reading information about obscure parts of Ruby on Rails, I think this will be for the best ;)

Also, due to the rather odd name of this blog, I feel it is probably due a bit of explanation. I have always suffered from what I will call “impossible to remember blog name syndrome”, and I wanted something short, memorable, and somehow related to trees. However, everything I thought up was already taken (doggone domain speculators). Then along comes this adorable little video:

The rest is history.

  1. That took me a while to figure out, but cute. ;-)

    Now if you would only blog…….

  2. Unfourtanitly my pc is so slow it hardly plays the movie. But I tried but my effort was vanquished (spelling?). Cool blog anyway.

  3. Oh my goodness, that IS adorable. And a wonderful idea, too. I figured it out pretty quickly. Well, enjoy your new blog. I shall add it to my List of Names and check back as frequently as possible. :)

  4. That is so cute! It’s great to have a reason for the name of your blog, too. Do you think you’ll remember the name of THIS one? ;)

  5. I’m glad everyone likes the Kiwi video so much. I think I might have seen it on Jonathan Watson’s site originally, but I can’t remember now…

    @Allegra, my spam blocker tried to flag your comment as spam, I hope you haven’t tried to make any other comments on my blog(s) that never appeared. But yes, I think I’ll be able to remember the name of this blog ;)

  6. I just customized the way comments are displayed to make them look much better, before they were only a plain list.

  7. Very nice…

  8. LOL! That explains the Dr. seus trees on the sidebar! :-P
