I mean Facebook Feed Extractor.
I want something like that to analyze the feed that I am scrolling. Would open a bit the tightly shut algorithmic blackbox that influences the way I use my time.
Would you want one? Is there already one available?

Inbox World
Am tempted to explore the INBOX WORLD.
Is that a good name? INBOX WORLD. What do you make of it?

This or This
In my search for good books, I’ve come across book titles like these:
You Are Born Funny Or The Funniness Gene
I’ve made that title up actually. But I guess you get the drift. These are titles with effectively two titles or names for the book. ‘Or’ does that job.
I’ve been thinking about giving a name or label to my kind of pants which I want to market and sell some time soon. And I boarded the ‘or’ naming train today morning. Here’s the result:
Aircan Or Soni’s Chinos Or Type 475 Or…
I love this sort of naming.
I know I know what I’ve triggered here. A barrel full of questions!
What would you actually write on the label since the space is tiny?
What would be the domain name if you name your pants misusing the facility of ‘or’?
What would want the potential customers to remember?
What would you write on the social media posters? And in the social media posts?
O God, it’s not a book, they are pants! Why are you doing this!

Proof of Boatiness
Since I have been checking websites that are selling shoes, I’ve been seeing plenty of ads of shoe brands in my feed.
And finally, I also come to see the word ‘boat’ to describe a shoe. I was wondering how is it that it’s only me who sees ‘boatiness’ in shoes all around me!
Right then, Boat Shoe looks like an old established name for what I call ‘boaty’ shoes.
Are your feet boaty? Or boat-like? Or boat-shaped?
Why do you wear boat-shaped shoes? Are boaty shoes comfortable? Or do they help you in walking or running?
When your feet aren’t boat-shaped, why wear boat-shaped shoes?
Do you think shoes have an impact on your body, on your health, on your mind? Or shoes are no more than fashion-accessories?

National Instructional Media Institute
Dear Parent,
I am opening the newspaper every morning with a sense of anticipation.
Anticipation of discovering an interesting entity hiding behind a boring ad.
I was rewarded for my curiosity twice this morning. Wrote about the 1st discovery earlier in the morning. This is the second one:
I visited the website and was so surprised to find out all the published material that may help youngsters to learn some skills that matter and that one can really call ‘creative’. I am going to order some myself.
And it’s got a nice short-form: NIMI. No?

Software Operator
Machine Operator, that’s a common expression.
Software Operator? Nobody uses that.
They say, ‘Familiarity with xyzware is a must.’
Is Operator a downmarket expression? I think it captures skill and efficiency nicely.

SaaS, again a misnomer
SaaS, how beautiful the word looks. No?
The full form is Software as a Service.
Didn’t I tell you in an earlier post that software is a machine? Remember?
Right, so then it should read Machine as a Service.
That sounds like the business of selling and servicing cars. No? Machine as a service! ‘Service’ earns more than the machines for the car companies. Recurring. Except that the upkeep of cars does require ‘service’.
Now I can debate that ‘software requires service’ is as true as ‘car requires service’.
Machine as a Service. Hmm… Assuming the idea conveyed by this expression is digestible, what’s the cost of such a service? Answers are unpleasant.

The Waste Books
Dear Parent,
Who calls such amazing fragments of writing THE WASTE BOOKS! But Georg Christoph Lichtenberg did. And his writings were popular among the finest of minds.
It contains aphorisms, fragments and little gems written by him way way back.
Going by the size of every fragment, it would delight the youngster. But to be able to read such short fragments and make sense of them, one has to have done some good reading earlier, as inadvertent preparation.
But the youngster doesn’t have much time until college, and after college there’s no time for learning through reading. Are my impressions correct? Am I living in a different world?

Website, to glam or not to?
‘Website’ is a misnomer. But what we call ‘website’ ought to carry a name.
Someone called it a website once and after that everyone felt like calling it a website. So we call it a website.
Plenty of our buyers tell us your website, www.mississippiearrings.com, ought to be glam.
We started selling the kind of earrings we sell so that your faces look glam, your looks look glam.
We did not start the website for the website to look glam.
Okay, let me put this in some other terms. Website is not a physical building that stands in some space, and that tries to stand out in that space. Website is just a background against which you view something, in our case our earrings.
Imagine paper trying to be glam! What will happen to the writing? For colorful glam pics, paper can be glossy but that’s that. Paper ought to be background and remain that way.
Now you would say, website is a structure too. But I would say, structure isn’t website. Structure is exactly that, structure. Or let me say, structure is a structure against the background of website.
Does it resonate with you? Does this makes sense? To me it does. When I have better words and explanations, I will write another post.

Short-form and its consequences
What’s the full form of MRP?
Your question is so dumb.
Never mind, the full form of MRP is Maximum Retail Price.
Huh! What’s the big deal?!
The deal is that MRP is the maximum that can be charged. And that the seller can charge less than maximum too. And that most sellers charge you the maximum.
So?
So, your foot!

Degree of Master
MBA = Master of Business Administration
After completing the MBA program, youngsters in India, when they bag some jobs, they get designations and titles like Management Trainee, Sales Executive, Customer Service Executive and such.
So after one studies business administration in such a way that one secures a ‘qualification’ and a certificate that reads Master of Funniness, one becomes a trainee or executive.
There’s nothing wrong really in becoming a trainee or executive. It starts somewhere. It’s the name of such education and certification that spins my head.

Mishinology
There’s this lovely website (website is such a bad matter in such moments), there’s this elegant effort (effort, not so bad as the expression website but is it ambiguous?), ya, so, there’s this effort called Mishinology I came across, and it made me think about what I would call my effort.
They first page says:
The website name “MISHINOLOGY” comes from the Japanese ミシン – mishin, which means “sewing machine”.
In the last few years, I’ve put so much into understanding pants, and then coming up with a design that I would personally want to wear all the time; I plan to manufacture and release these pants for others to wear too.
How should I name my effort? As readily as names come to me, sometimes I really have a hard time. There’s still some time. And I hope I have the names. It is already emerging out of my head in plural. God!

Title of the 2nd Chapter
In Luhmann’s Love as Passion, the 2nd chapter carries this title:
Love as a Generalized Symbolic Medium of Communication
In my life I never thought I would be reading the expression LOVE amidst such words. But then it is Mr Luhmann and he can make it sound dry like this and yet ever intriguing all the same.
And then there are those who do their doctorates in sociology. Hello Mr Phd in Sociology, do you have Mr Luhmann’s felicity and mind to subject and address LOVE this way?

Calling it a TEXTBOOK
Someone got inspired and created something that came to be recognized as TEXTBOOK.
Or it just wasn’t a product of inspiration. It was just some piece of writing useful in some say and someone had to name it and so called it something as boring as TEXTBOOK. That someone perhaps knew that it had to carry a boring name.
Boring book, boring name, TEXTBOOK.

Torn between 2 domain names. One is eccentric and stirring and poking, the other is a little less so but quite representative.

Aha, so slow-manufactured is some kind of answer to fast-fashion! Okaaay…
It needn’t necessarily be so obviously opposite!

Named Non named Instead of writing ‘Others’ try…
Named, Non-/named/
Instead of writing ‘Others’, try Non-/named/.
For example, Earrings and Non-earrings.
Another example, Bullshit and Non-bullshit.
