Why New Improved?

Because I think marketing language is funny. The Home for the New and Improved can be like an asylum for emergent thoughts and wayward ideas. I’m glad to have a catchy name because I’m tired of the word blog.

Naming the tool wasn’t something I set out to spend a lot of time on. I asked my friend Paul, and he suggested New Improved. He described it as a family joke, sort of like they would ask each other “what’s new and improved?”

“Thanks for the idea” I said, and just like that, it was mine.

You’ll notice I have a similar policy here at the Home for the New and Improved. If you see an idea you like, just take it, and give me a citation whenever you think it’s appropriate. As Sam Clarkson would say, “the good ideas all come from beyond anyhow… it’s not as if I created them on my own.”

And so it is that this space will be used to share some thoughts about the new and improved. On that note, I’m going to declare the discussion of the new name to be closed. It is what it is, and it’s hard coded into the URL, so I don’t expect it to change.

I do expect the content to steadily improve over time. If you like it now, just wait until tomorrow. If you don’t like it now, just wait until tomorrow. If you love it or hate it, email me and please let me know why.

Feedback of the day: “I suppose I should have had a clearer sense of what I’m looking for.”
