A few days ago I realized I could change my name on Twitter without blowing anything up. I had sort of been aware of this feature, but had too many other things swirling through my mind to consider changing it.

My first change was simple: Dave The Blogger. It was an instant hit. 

Then the next day: Dave the Bad Hombre. 

But then I liked Dave The Blogger again, and so it is now. 

I like it because:

It's simple and friendly.

I am a blogger, and have been for a long time!

What blogging is has been muddied-up by reporters who decided they were bloggers. Then they decided blogging was over, which really means they realized they were journalists, and not bloggers, even though they never properly asked the question of what a blogger actually is. (It's never too late, and it's important.)

Since no one else wants it, I decided to claim it myself.

Which could result in the Tom Sawyer effect, which imho would be a Good Thing for blogging. Win-win!

No guarantees I won't be something else soon. Halloween is coming up after all! :-)

PS: The big controversy is going to be is the word the in the title capitalized or not? To confuse you I have done it both ways in this post! Haha.
