New Name: Sideways8 & Loo.me
I did some changes today to the blog. I’m changing the name from Sideways8 to Loo.me. I’m doing this for a couple of reasons.
- I really didn’t like having wordpress.com in my URL. It just seemed amateur and lame
- Sideways8 is a good name but it didn’t really have anything to do with me and the blog. I really loved it before, but i’ve grown out of it
- I like short URL’s. They’re much better
Why Loo.me:
- Well, a loom is a device for weaving threads. Similarly, this blog is a place where i like to weave different threads together and discuss them whether they are technology threads, movie threads or anything. This is where i post and discuss what’s going on in my world.
- A loo is a strong hot wind (seriously) and i’m often pretty full of it. So it works
- Also, my name is Mike Lewis but many of my friends call me Louie or Lou. This is me. So, my blog is loo dot me
The two together make sense to me. Let me know what you think

i like it!
Reason #4: That was one of the only three letter urls you could get during the .me registration period. Still waiting for uva.me to get some offers….
Also the state bird for MN. So that’s cool also.
WAit, that’s the loon. Well, whatever.
