Testing to see if my posts are even making it to the NIT aggregator. Yes, I switched to blogger beta. However, I did have one post show up after the switch, so I think it’s just a Zionist plot.

ok, I have to ask. everytime I see your name on an NiT comment, I wonder: what is up with that name??

It’s from “Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” by Douglas Adams. Funniest series of books ever written.
Slartibartfast worked for a company that designed planets. His specialty was fiords. When asked about his name, he would immediately tell you that it “wasn’t important”.

ah, thanks 🙂
your wife (congrats on the good news, btw) and kids have unusual names as well–are those blog nicknames or their real names? where did they come from?

Blog names 🙂 Of course, they’re from Adams’ characters.
More info on each:
Zaphod
Lintilla
Trillian
Of course, none of these characters has anything to do with the personalities of the related “real” family members, I just like the names. Although Zaphod seems to the he’s president of the universe!

thanks for going to the trouble 🙂
I have to admit, the first time I saw your blog, I was like, “Trillian? ZAPHOD?! they really named their kids that??” I was hoping they were blog names but was half afraid to ask 🙂
anyway, welcome to the Nashville blogosphere!
