A Note About the Name

I think a little discussion about the name of this blog is in order here. Or, it's been two days, and I already don't have anything to write about. So yeah.

Anyway, the name is a reference to the various fleeting hobbies, interests, and junk that I've accumulated along the way. The typical process goes something like this:
Step 1, Zero Hour: I hear about something interesting, via blog, podcast, or good old human interaction.
Step 2, First Day: I do tons and tons of research, going so far as to ruin my ability to function as a productive human being.
Step 3, Third Day: I flirt with the idea of actually pouring some money into this endeavor. About 50% of my potential hobbies die here. Who says I'm careless with my money? I could be so very much worse.
Step 4, End of First Week: I start putting out feelers to see if anybody else I know is interested in the same topics. This usually ends badly.
Step 5: Middle of Second Week: Interest is waning. Normalcy is returning.
Step 6: End of Second Week: What was I talking about? What? Mountain biking? Really? I thought that was a good idea?

So yeah. I don't think this is anything unique to me, except for the part where I write about it online. But that's the new name of the blog. It also helps that I think that it's somewhat catchy.
