A rose by any other name: I'm not entirely sure, because I was overseas at the time — but I think that while I was away, Gadgetgirl's husband Rob started his own blog, and (at first) gave it the descriptive and catchy name "A Yank in Oz." Greg was then the first to point out that the name, although highly descriptive and catchy, wasn't quite as original as one might have hoped… and then I assume that some days later Rob quietly changed his blog's name to "yankinoz," which is distinctive, catchy and unique.

Either that or I was hallucinating sometime around the 24th, when I briefly logged in from my parents' house, because I could have sworn Rob's blog had exactly the same name as mine, but now it doesn't.

In any case, if my lady-love ever starts her own blog, I'll try to make sure she doesn't choose "gadgetgirl" as her blog's name. This wasn't a likely scenario in either case — that my lady-love would start a blog, or that she'd become the gadget-hound of the relationship (see picture of Scott's Christmas present, below) — but you never know.
