Welcome to ARROWMINDEAD











Welcome! After exhausting some research on what I should name my most recent project, this blog, I uncovered the most perfect name, ARROWMINDEAD. The meaning behind this blog is to survery all the things we love to talk about until they're dead, through the lens of cupid's arrow. The entries will come from Cupid, himself.

Food for thought?

Wondering how people name their blogs is an old question, never answered to my satisfaction. Fortunately the Blogwise directory hosts a list of 33810 blogs. Extracting the names of each blog from the directory itself took some work, but the result is this text file of blog names, one per line. Now that I got the raw data, it’s time to go to work.

The top word, used in 9.986 percent of the blogs surveyed was “blog.” The next most popular, at 2.619 percent, is “life.” Here’s the top 10 words in a blog’s name:

blog - 9.986%
life - 2.619%
weblog - 1.841%
world - 1.296%
from - 1.226%
journal - 1.139%
news - 1.087%
thoughts - 1.039%
with - 0.670%
daily - 0.660%

So, for my blog, I took it in a completely different direction. ARROWMINDEAD represents the way I plan to present products, new technologies, trends, gossip, fashion, news, etc. It's a new way of looking through a telescope or lens, ARROWMINDEAD. Check back for more from Cupid!

Enjoy! Please pass along comments, suggestions and more...
