I wanted a catchy name for my new blog. I’ve been blogging for about six months now via the Sylvan Park Neighborhood Association, but I figure it’s time to branch out on my own. Here I can hopefully rant much more freely.

I selected the name ‘robthink’ because I needed an umbrella for all the thoughts I expect to share here. Nothing in particular, other than the fact that these interests all appeal to me, seemed to connect them all. So I guess robthink is a clever way of saying “thoughts from Rob” or things I’m thinking about.

Groupthink, “the mode of thought whereby individuals intentionally conform to what they perceive to be the consensus of the group,” was my inspiration for the name.

Hopefully the nonconformist irony isn’t totally lost there. I’m just glad ‘robthink’ was still available as a name.
