Thanks to joe, one of my longtime friends, this blog now has a name: The Man Cave. The name is partly self-deprecating, since I don’t make any claims to be one of the world’s great thinkers — I merely recycle a lot of good ideas and keep them in circulation, but it’s also a reference to the way that a lot of men handle issues.

John Gray first popularised the man cave in his book Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus. But where Gray envisioned the man cave as a place to which men retreat until they are ready to deal with the problems, I envision my cave as a place I where I can focus on the problem until I work out my position with regard to it.

So this is it. Welcome to The Man Cave. Enjoy your stay. It’s not messy, it’s supposed to look this way.
