Pick the new name for this feed and win a free seat at the Applied XML Developer's Conference in greater Portland, OR, July 10-11. If you're already registered (a good idea, since it's filling fast), you can have a free seat for a friend or co-worker.
Here's the scoop:
When I built this news feed, it was an attempt to build a Windows equivilent of SlashDot. Unfortunately, I'm not interested in keeping up on all the news in the Windows developer space and the few folks that have stepped up to post on this site are largely spammers (although not all of them, by any means).
So, I'll be moving this feed to be just stuff from me. The problem is, I don't know what to call it. In addition to posting links to stuff I produce, e.g. tools, writings, editorial, etc., this blog (ok, I admit it : ) is really about the things that I find interesting and my personal insights, so I'll want a name that reflects that. Also, I'm a big fan of puns, alliteration and double meanings (the logo has *three* meanings).
If you suggest the best name by 8am PST, Friday, June 19th, you win a free seat (travel and hotel is still on you).

- goes well with the logo
- and you still work at home right?

A blog about you should definitely be called....
Sells Cells
The double meaning could be in the biological meaning of cells - brain cells - and cells meaning 'compartment' since blog entries usually encompass a singe thought, topic, or frame of mind.

How about "The Spout". It seems to me that when you just start posting stuff from you "The Spout" and the news will be very similar in the type of content..
If you wish to keep them seperate how about "Inside Sells", "Sells Uncovered", "Undercover Sells" or finally, just leave it as news, it's straight to the point and describes what it is all about. Any of the other names could confuse the issue.
Cheers

This simply can't lose:
"Zap Tap"
Zap: Noun
Something that imparts excitement or great interest.
Tap: Noun
A valve and spout used to regulate delivery of a fluid at the end of a pipe.
Since you won't be feeding news on a continuous basis (ala slashdot), the tap indicates the periodic nature of the spout's operation. I would assume you'll focus on the really cool stuff in the news ... hence the zap.
Close the contest ... ladies and germs, we have a winner.

I'm sure you meant the 20th, right Chris?
Rick Childress (www25.brinkster.com/rchildress),
Thursday, June 19, 2003 7:02 PM
My suggestion like Sells begins with an 's' and ends with an 's'.
Includes the characters 'ui' as a connotation to 'windows forms'.
Includes the characters 'gen" with its obvious allusion.
Includes the character 'e' from Sells.
Replaces the the last three characters in Sells with the last three characterrs of Chris.
The word, which was the Dictioary.com word of the day for Thursday June 14, 2001, best describes Chris Sells, unique and one of a kind.
So Sui Generis it is.
