Days are numbered
So I have turned the lights back on. I figured, I tried to turn people away from viewing the site, got 85 visitors one week at a low point, and went back up from that again this week, so might as well go the next step before closing up shop here.
Because that is indeed my next step: closing down TopStoryLive -- turning it into "vintage" TopStoryLive, with only the entries left -- and opening up a new blog with intent of making it far less work-oriented.
My latest thinking for the next blog is: Bill's search for Mister Right.
Yeah, I know, I'm already falling asleep about it.
I didn't like the idea of "mrright.blogspot.com" or "misterright.blogspot.com" so I was playing around with ideas of love-representation. Herbie the Love Bug sprang to mind. I thought, what if I do something like Where's Herbie?, as I search for my own love-bug. I know, it's disgustingly cute. It also smacks of Where's Waldo?
Then, to make sure someone else hadn't already done it, I googled "where's herbie blog." And then I found this:
Zornitza Stefanova: Traffic Jams:In my car this morning, I thought of a question derived from the book, which is "Where's Herbie?". To most people this question means nothing. But it is supposed to be standard jargon among those involved in production planning. In a chapter in the book, the protagonist takes a group of grade school students hiking. The slowest boy in the line is Herbie, and he screws up everyone else's progress. Hence, if you figure out where Herbie is, you can fix delays in your production line or on the freeway, for that matter.
So I'm thinking it's not going to be "wheresherbie.blogspot.com" even though I'm sure there's that one swing-arm or robot in the mechanical workings of my life that's screwing everything up.
I don't know, McGuffin? The search continues.
