I wasn't trying to be cryptic...
Well my brush with famedom has drawn to a close. My No Ping entry finally got the boot over at Blogmadness. Congrats Mir! Actually I'm REALLY blown away that the post got as far as it did! Thanks to everybody that took the time to go over and vote.
I was talking to a friend the other night about blog names and the conversation turned to R80o. Given our conversation I thought it might be a good idea to fill you in on why I chose R80o.
First of all if you didn't already know, it's pronounced "radio". I came up with the name back when Internet radio was just starting to take off (and way before RIAA reared its ugly head). I wanted to setup and run an "all 80's" station. The way I wanted to do it is similiar to the way the guys over at www.radioio.com have done it. Radioio is a station I recommend HIGHLY!!!
Well I didn't do the station thing, and basically forgot about the name.
Then a while back (as a hobby) I tried selling 80's paraphernalia on Ebay. That idea bombed, but only after I had registered the domain name. So I have the r80o.com URL and nothing to do with it. I had another website that was "my site", but I can't say I did much with it either. Not much on content, definitely not much on verbage. Then I started blogging back in September, and well here I am.
Regarding the illustration of the dog in the title line, she's a combination of our dog "Holestein" (a.k.a. "Holy" thus the halo) and this dog...
His name is "Nipper". By the way, "Nipper" was the RCA Radio icon from way back in the 1920's and 30's.
Anyway, thanks for letting me fill in the details.

On a separate note, I was over at the Crapola Web Translator translating my blog into various dialects. Personally I prefer the ebonics translation. What'd you think?
