20 Questions
Oh look, it’s another goofy poll-type entry, stolen from Gavin (and edited for length — because nobody has the patience to read 40 questions about anyone, not even about me).
How did you get the idea for your journal name?
Someone at my last job once sent out a company-wide email announcing that “There’s pie in the lunchroom.” Since the company had employees in five states and two countries at the time, I thought that was a pretty stupid email to send to people who couldn’t possibly get to the pie or care that it was there. When I investigated, I found that there was indeed a pie in the lunchroom. Just a pie: no plates, no silverware, no knife with which to cut the pie — just a lonely pie in the middle of an otherwise empty table. I’d been playing with the idea of starting a blog; that email gave me the title and pushed me over the edge into doing it.
