I wrote a weekly newspaper column for two years. I almost never had trouble coming up with a headline — in fact, they usually came to me while I was interviewing an artist or looking at his art. They were pithy, witty, often sardonic. That’s just my style.
Yet somehow, I can’t name this blog. I need your help.
I want a blog title that sums up who I am and what I do. It’s a tall order, and probably why I can’t seem to commit to a name. I’m analytical, cynical and street-smart. I’m addicted to innovation, but I’m attracted to antiques. I think technology is meaningless if it doesn’t improve our lives and promote communication. I’m a die-hard liberal with a hippie dad. I’m opinionated and assertive, and kind of an instigator. I work full-time and do freelance on the side. I see myself as a user advocate and spend the majority of my working hours attempting to reduce the amount of bullshit we’re forced to put up with.
So all-in-all, what does that make me?
You tell me.

It needs to be something around “synthesist” per your description of yourself. Couple of ideas.
“design synthesist”
“information synthesist”
“interaction synthesist”
“synthesis in process”
“digital synthesis”
;-)
Good luck.

Perhaps the best way to go about encompassing all those ideas in one title is to use a generous portion of poetic association. I scanned through song titles in my iTunes Library and chose a few choice ones that I thought might be getting at what you want … perhaps even as inspiration for further titlestorming on your part? Good luck! — Adam
