last day at the cabin
Tomorrow I'm moving from a cabin in the woods to a small town in the woods, just down the road.
I am ready to have a little bit more social contact and to live within walking distance of stores. The view from the balcony isn't so bad either:
In other renewal news, I'm still planning on changing the name of this site. Though some have warned me that I should keep my "branding" here, this isn't about selling hamburgers. This is about my online identity, and that needs to evolve as I do. Plus, I'm not really a hippie as I'm too young. My parents went to Woodstock before I was born.
"Hippie" also has too many connotations with lazyness, burnout, being anti-technology, and/or dirty. Though not everyone feels the same way about this word, it is not the image I am into portraying!
If you like this site the way it is don't panic. I won't be taking anything away, it's all forward motion from here.

How to name your new website
Your ocean might look cool like Alaska's northshore http://arctic.fws.gov/images/tundramts.jpg
You might see maritime bears traveling to their extinction like tapers when the ceremony concludes http://arctic.fws.gov/images/pbsowcub.jpg
You might embark on a warmer clime cruise and see like the early D. Leitch in the Sand and Foam lyric
"The sun was going down behind a tattooed tree"
"And the simple act of an oar's stroke put diamonds in the sea"
You might climb a mountain to observe the Way of the White Clouds where the desultory yak follows the knowing servant to the place of the thankas http://www.tibetart.com/ and http://www.worldmarcopolo.com/lama_anagarika_govinda.html
You might simply make your new website like a bookstore, morphing over time http://www.opensecretbookstore.com/
You might wonder who skipped Woodstock because it was oversize even though they lived in upper New York state or Woodside which is on the other coast; and in the process a lyric about branding might come to mind jingling from the archaic radio:
"My weariness amazes me, I'm branded on my feet,"
"I have no one to meet"
"And the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming."
"Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,"
"I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to."
You might try the winds of the times and ride the winds of success in a moment of freedom, controlled yet appearing carefree http://home.comcast.net/~vilex/ShipofFools.html
Or you might try a constructive origami experiment, clipping magazine articles to compare the most popular site nomenclatures with brand-x names, like Stuart Brand did beginning in 1968, though people thought alternative energy in those times was something to do with electrical current, or maybe the feeling one got when listening to wind chimes http://www.wholeearthmag.com/about.html
Tho something about your site's progress suggests a more ALA-like utilitarianism, maybe blended with other contributors like some academic websites. Whatever the outcome, it is sure to be unique. See you sometime in the future.
One link, the one to the picture of the American in Tibet, Govnida, was clipped in the post:

Best good fortune to you,

Hmmm, that looks a lot like David Cove on Mayne Island... I spent a lot of time up there.
I used to live in a cabin at 9,800 ft up in the Rocky Mountains (still own it)... but when I came back down to near sea level and the "city" I rediscovered a great many things that I really enjoyed.
Now every summer I spend 2 months up at the cabin just to get away from everything... and it is a more enjoyable time.
Good idea! I just backordered your domain name, I´ll grab it as soon as you leave it.
