bedeviled mojo slop

The whole new name proposal for Atom/Echo/Pie/Whatever smells of the California governor's race. There was something there in the name that smelled right. Or maybe it was just the thought of what our collective effort would produce. However, was the name a little rotten? I don't think so. Anyone can participate in the voting. I guess people weren't really buying the name even though the forward motion of the effort was going strong. So, there was a recall. Now we've got a runoff election. Hopefully it'll be over quick and we can get back to the business at hand ... Forward motion. Please, discuss. But remember, we're not where we were 3 months ago. We've moved forward, if just a little bit.

I've blinged out my site. Click on the banner. It's true. No denying it. Once a new name for Atom/Echo/Pie/Whatever is changed, I'll remove this banner. Maybe the point is this ... that although the decision for a name might be a challenge, forward motion with regards to the technology is not.

I'd propose the new name for PEAW be "bling". Then we could say cute stuff like:

• "Damn yo, I just blinged out my site. Check it here."
• "Dive into Mark is a phat site. He's blinged out to the max."
• "Boing Boing? Those beotches got the Bling Bling.

I'll be sippin' on 'da Cristal getting my gold tooth etched with my name and blinging it out with some "ice" whilst y'all debate Step up and recognize yo. I'm Audi 5000 G.

No?

What about "SPEW"? I know we're supposed to avoid acronyms and although Hermione Granger got the lock on SPEW as "Society for the Promotion of Elfish Welfare", I was thinking of SPEW as "Syndication, Presentation, Editing, Whatever".

No?
