Drink the Kool-Aid?
Posted by Jacob Mentzel in Housekeeping on October 20, 2010
Last week I made the mistake of asking you for new name suggestions for this blog. For the record, you guys are awful. And funny. Here were some of my favorites you came up with:
- Shirtless Me
- Drink the Kool-Aid
- Getting Past College
- My Pet Topics
- Jake’s Harp of One String
Okay. That’s really the best you got? Remind me not to ask for suggestions next time there’s a baby on the way…
Shirtless Me
Posted by Jacob Mentzel in Housekeeping on October 15, 2010
After a 5 year hiatus, I’m blogging again. So far I’ve deleted almost everything I had ever written—because man, wasn’t that embarassing? But this whole project of revitalizing my old blog presents me with a couple problems:
1. Don’t you think it needs a new name? “Getting Past Triage” seems a little tired to me, as does the explanation I wrote for it.
2. Don’t you think a good blog needs to be a place where people are commenting and engaged?
So here’s my proposed solution: You… tell me… what you think I should rename my blog. Go ahead. Just click on the comment button and stick your neck out there. It’ll be a little painful to be the first one, I know. But trust me, if you do, others will follow.
How can I help you? Well, let me put it this way. I feel a little like dancing shirtless guy in the video below, and I need a couple first followers to really go for it. So here’s the real question: Do you have what it takes to be a first commenter?
