Renaming my blog

So I just renamed the blog to Blood & Granite, and pointed the new domain name to it. blog.sc3d.org won't work any more, although allofthetitlesaretaken.blogspot.com will.

For the benefit of those of you who are thinking, "Huh?" -- which I guess would be almost all of my zero readers -- my recent Facebook "note" should clarify things for you. Here's what it says:

I was writing a post the other day, and referred to aspects of the New Hampshire Constitution (Let all be upstanding to laud and pay homage thereto!!! ) as having been cast in stone. I immediately edited it to say cast in granite. It had a more apropos ring to it. Then I thought of the blood of patriots which has been shed in the process of its creation, not to mention the blood I have managed to shed arseing about on my property, and decided that Blood & Granite would make a jolly good name for a blog. A quick Google search reveals it has been used before as a title, but not for anything significant, just an obscure book about murders in Aberdeen. So. The domain name is mine :-). One of these days I will get around to using it.

The parenthetical comment related to a then recent thread about the evils and silliness of the daily pledge of allegiance routine as it exists in our school system.

Anyway, now that I have a strong title for the blog (well, I think so, anyway) I guess I shall have to be that much more discriminating when it comes to content. Oh dear... my prolific publishing rate of one flurry of posts every never may decrease yet further. On second thoughts, maybe I'll take a leaf out of the Big Book of Progressive Liberal Theories, and conclude that discrimination is bad.

Oh, and on the subject of sticking with really important and meaningful subjects, I was wondering as I read the above note back to myself... should I have spelt it arseing, assing, arse-ing or ass-ing?
