Suboptimist

I’m not so much a pessimist…

As it was foretold, Title of Record is no more. Welcome to the newest incarnation of my 5 years of continued existence on the Internets.

This is called Suboptimist. I spent most of today figuring out an acceptable domain and title. Initially, what I wanted was thearbitrarian.com. The domain was available, but the title was taken. Dammit. I went through several other crappy names, then decided that since I write so much about linguistics, a play on optimality theory would be appropriate. I tried for suboptimal.com. It was taken by an ad park. I was amazed by the obscure linguistic terms that were already taken (postparaxytone?!). Then I remembered that I don’t only write about linguistics. This is the rambling of a University of Utah linguistics student (now in graduate studies) about life, linguistics, freemasonry, and the intricacies of being a grad student at a school that he didn’t choose, but somehow chose him.

Right now, there are spectrographs up top.  I may change that.  I didn’t like the default theme images.

Also, am I missing any important links?
