back to what is in a name
Continuing reflections on the choices of names...
"Banking on Tomorrow" is the tag that I used for my original blog -- and it is the tag I used for my scribbles and presentations as well. I chose it because I was a banker and in knowledge management and it just seemed appropriate. I did a search on the phrase; there were 1,390 results and some of them were my web tracks:
- I found one of the images I liked to use in presentations showing the perils of NOT having a knowledge management program
- I was a "Star" presenter for AOK and this was one of the pieces that I submitted on "Why Stealth KM?"
- an echo of the past surfaces -- here is my CV on one of the old WIKI pages! Addresses and work email is way out of date. I love that little pop-up .git tho -- it was my online photo in many a conference
- wow -- just found my very first presentation at a conference. This was done back in the spring of 2000 for executives interested in going online for business opportunities. I got to meet Tom Peters!
- And another presentation, one I did a year or so later in Boston surfaces... I used to share my presentations with my online community. Apparently someone saved my work because these things have been posted in the last year or so
- I played with SWIKI for a while... hey, that one is still active -- I can still log in and you can add it to your iGoogle as a widget too
The tag line was something that Grandmom Hughes used to say: "tomorrow is promised to no one". A quick GOOGLE search on the phrase gave back over 370K results and I leared that apparently Walter Payton is attributed with the quote. Grandmom said it first, I'm sure. I like the contrast between the thought that you are banking on tomorrow, followed by the realization that you are counting on something which may never come
Interestingly, this painting came up in the search as well
The name of the tab is "bleeding heart...".
Initially I had named it "bleeding heart liberal", but after a friend turned up her nose and scoffed, I was worried that it would be potentially seen as a politcal diatribe. The "bleeding heart" comes from the song by Jimi Hendrix. As for "liberal"? Well in a non-political sense, liberal means "a lot" and that fit in with what I was trying to say. In a politcal sense, I am well aware that to be called a bleeding heart liberal is not particularly complementary, but the play on words still amuses me and I do tend to be a liberal at times.
And I like the flowers too!
