Miniature Brains

And the title...
Brian's is kind of cryptic - Liverspot, I finally discovered, is in reference to his many dalmatians. Pat is not a "Bad Dad"...
Me?
I had been pondering a title for a blog for some time. It reminds me of when we used to compose imaginary band names - must be somewhat cryptic, amusing, seemingly random ("Death Cab for Cutie" comes to mind).
"Miniature Brains for the Home" is the chapter title in a book on computers I read in the 9th grade. For some reason I found it insanely funny and it's stuck with me for all these years.
And it was a lot better than the other names I had come up with:
- View from Lynx Mountain
- Bob Zilenski's Herring Skiff
- Tardis Vortex
- Devil Ducky (taken anyway)
- Workbench Clutter
- Daggit Droppings
- Geared Locomotive
- Box of Circuit Boards
- Ephraim Shay World Tour
- Unfinished Project #72
- Self Deprecating
- #4 Robertson
and the very, very close runner up
- Lone Jackalope Theory
