New blog

Ok. Back by popular demand. (1 person) My new blog. As irreverent and irregular as ever. The first entry is just a copy/paste of my old stuff. Sorry I couldn't get the comments to copy. As for the name and address here is Wikipedias explanations:

  Hypomnema (Greek. υπομνημα, plural υπομνηματα, hypomnemata), also spelled hupomnema, is a Greek word with several translations into English including a reminder, a note, a public record, a commentary, a draft, a copy, and other variations on those terms.

Commonplace books (or commonplaces) were a way to compile knowledge, usually by writing information into books. They became significant in Early Modern Europe.
Such books were essentially scrapbooks filled with items of every kind: medical recipes, quotes, letters, poems, tables of weights and measures, proverbs, prayers, legal formulas. Commonplaces were used by readers, writers, students, and humanists as an aid for remembering useful concepts or facts they had learned. Each commonplace book was unique to its creator's particular interests.

I used both for the simple and mundane reason that each was an available name in different spots. Commonplace for the address and hypomnema for the blog name. And if I find the dastards who took my choices... well they better just watch their... Do you know how long it took to find these words? Sheesh. Ahem. I feel better now.
