I'll google it...

I google everything.  I use it so often I now treat it as a verb.  I know I’m not the only one.  Google was, after all, the most visited site in May 2011. 

Yes, I googled that.

One thing I love about Google is clever little autocomplete feature that pops up when you start typing in your search criteria.   I don’t know if that’s what it’s actually called, but that’s what I call it and it’s my blog.

Sometimes it’s so accurate it’s a little bit scary. 

Sometimes it’s so bizarre it’s even scarier.  

Here’s a good example of accurate:

And here’s bizarre:

So after looking at the results of the first search, I landed at blogger.com.  This looks easy, I thought, I’ll just come up with a name for the blog and start ranting.

Ah, how naïve I was.

Do you know how many blog names are already taken?  I'd estimate roughly all of them.  Even the really clever, obscure ones.  Even the stupid ones. 

I spent days googling, trying to come up with a name I was happy with that was available.  Then a few more days googling trying to come up with a name I was indifferent to that was available. 

Eventually I settled on a small but mediocre list of possibilities.  I ran the list past my GSO* and he chose this one. 

I was actually leaning more towards www.stroppybint.blogspot.com, but he pointed out that I’m not always that stroppy.  Bless.
