Happy 1st Blog-iversary! - [Matthew]
An IM conversation from August 30, 2005...
=========
AIM IM with Erik Guzman
i'm trying to set up an etcetera blog
what should the etcetera blog address be
I thought we were waiting on something. We talked about putting up essays and other random crap way back.
we just haven't gotten around to it
11:15 AM
etceterablogosphere
?
alloneword
i want etcetera in it
The shrine to ourselves that we've always dreamed of.
i was just reading fancy geoffs blog
there's a comment to one of his posts ending with...
"we love you, Fancy Geoff."
from somebody named adrianne
i freaking love the ping
it's all ping
Gotta love the ping. Ping is the new goolay. without a doubt
Well, let's just set one up then and worry about consolidating everything later. I could crap out an entry or two a week. I'm sure you have brilliance backed up in your intellectual lower digestive tract.
absolutley grass roots
oh, glory! Let the adulation commence.
etcetera is taken as a user name
what would be fitting for all of us
etceteracrew
11:45 AM
etcradio, etceteraradio, etcpod... ghettopodblaster pod complex ooooh, I like that one.
Ping
just ping
what do you think
The Ping. ?
somehting with etcetera and ping
just brainstorming
here
not shooting down any ideas
Etc: Bring the Ping
i like that
Etcetera: Bring the Ping
Pingtacular
Ping
simple
simple, clean. I dig it.
go for it
?
Ping
can you go for "Ping"
just ping
We should definitely include this IM session as a behind-the-scenes blog.
then we can put in some kind of subtitle
Ping?
what say you
My vote would be a phrase that you can say like 'Bring the Ping.' Doesn't have to be that phrase. If you really like just 'ping' we can do that. But just one single-syllable word rolls off the tongue kind of flat. My 2 cents (why isn't there a keyboard 'cent' symbol?)
11:55 AM
My Pingaling
Culture Ping
Other ideas... Etcetera's Ping, Etcetera Presents (The) Ping, and so on. Steal This Blog.
Etcetera...Ping

huh

Etcetera Presents Culture Ping. Wait, that sounds like a band.
12:00 PM

Pingcast
Bling, ping... now THAT'S dated.

Ping before swine I got it.
ping
ping

pingetcetera

jeepers, who could have thought of that already?
[ping] that's just fun to say /type. almost like a cartoon caption.
12:15 PM

huzzah!
Etcetera...pinging since 2004
"Embrace the culture, ask the questions, bring the ping." PLUS, hot cheerleader pics.
12:25 PM
we're gonna have fun with this
you betcha
get a little nuts
Good content, and ever-changing FRESH content... that will be the draw
12:35 PM
we gotta touch base with Sharon, see if she wants to throw anything on before tomorrow.

3:10 PM
i really like the blog so far
it's gonna be fun to watch it develop
[laughing] a new section: Haiku Review. We review everything and anything with a haiku
6:00 PM

*pings* Happy blog-iversary.
I love the [ping]. Long live the [ping].
Sweet background info, y'all. That must have been about the same conversation that took place when google was born.
Happy new[ping]year.
I feel as if I am in the very presence of history. And it smells kinda moldy...
Fancy Geoff is my brother, and I'm damn proud of it! We're trying to convince him to update Geofftopia.
