On Names, and Naming

Its interesting to me how many blogs titles come from the writers 'unusual' view, or grasp on reality. It seems we all think that the way we look at the world is somehow different or unique from the way everyone else looks at the world. My own Blog title has its roots it the same sort of tradition. The whole title was supposed to be, 'A View from the Edge of Known Space', a nod to Larry Niven's excellent universe, Known Space. I shortened it because it was just way to long for the name bar, and 'A View from the Edge', just seemed to flow better.

In some ways its comforting in a society that constantly tries to push us to conform, cramming us into tight little uniforms everyday, and cookie cutter stereotypes, that people still try to push their own uniqueness.

Ah yes the old saying is true.

You are unique person, just like everyone else.

It is a strange dichotomy that we are a world of a million unique people and that makes us all the same.

But the Creator put the simple things here to confound the wise.

Cool post Ben. See you Wednesday.

May the Force be with you.

Excelsior!!!
