WHAT IS THE NAME OF THIS BLOG?

Ironminds.com was a very hip Salon-like site in the dot com era that did edgy stuff (Google search "Ironminds" + "edgy" yields 140 hits) like this. They had a blog. So my theory was to up the ante and do it in German, to sort of highlight our commitment to irony.

Geist, of course, is more than just "mind" - it is as pregnant with meaning and association as the Greek logos. When I was in college I roomed with a philosophy major and asked him how to pronounce it. He ruffled his hair, opened his eyes real wide, and screamed "GEIST" in an insane German accent.

So the original name for the blog was the deliberately illiterate "Eisengeists". But we ended up with Eisengeiste because it at least had a chance of being right. We figured if it's right, it demonstrates how literate and cultured we are. If it's wrong (and I guess it's officially wrong now), it's dumber, but funnier.

But maybe the joke's wearing thin. We can rename it Eiserne Gemüter - or Weisenheimer Commuter or something else that sounds like it but means something different. Or maybe an anagram...
