PuzzleDonkey. That was a great way to start the day with a smile.

And I dont think we want WeatherGirl torturing you with lukewarm tea or the like.

Appears that her inner Shrek could be dangerous.

LOL

That’s the problem, isn’t it? Unhindered by Talent belongs to us all now, which does complicate things. How would you and Sub-Evil feel about me changing the title to just “Unhindered by talent” and leaving the name as φ? Or just leaving well enough alone?

Unhindered by Talent is a triumvirate these days. If you claim it for yourself consequences will ensue! Desolation? Agony?

I’ve got a dragon here and I’m not afraid to use it. I’m a donkey on the edge!

Thanks to you both for the feedback. Maybe I’ll have to stick with the original name after all.

Desert: I’m afraid the irony in my post title didn’t come through very well. It’s been pretty clear for a long time that I’m somewhere in the tail of several distributions (you should see my music collection). I was just struck by how clearly that burst of posts had exposed that vein. I hadn’t set out in this blog to be particularly political (or to avoid it), but it’s clear looking back on the last few months that it’s a recurring theme :-).

But, hey, I like being a puzzle. And together we’re a Puzzle Donkey…

I vote for the pedestrianized unhindered by talent . It is whimsical, obviously untrue, and encourages exploration of your site by those who dont know you. I image people thinking …. ‘I gotta look around here and see if I can find any sign of talent from this guy’

Of course calling yourself Prarie ‘radical’ would be pretty radical for a guy who just recently proclaimed his liberalism ….

You’re a puzzle.

I get a kick out of “Unhindered by talent” because it has a kind of optimism that I like, but I like Free Radical on the Prairie too.

But I’m not very good at this kind of thing – I think my own moniker is fairly lame (though I’ve got so used to it now it doesn’t really register as words with meaning but just a name, like when kids get named things that are actual words, like Dakota or something). So I might not give the best advice on this topic!
