Help DeRusha Rename DeBlog

12 Reader Comments

I haven’t come up with a name for the blog but when he takes over the AM drivetime waves they better call his show “Rush Hour w/ JD”

“JDs-house-of-blog.com”<br>newmediacrity.com<br>everybodywangchung.com<br>612411.com

What’s wrong with calling it Jason’s Blog?

I love myself

Hopefully this isn’t some weak attempt by CCO to separate the man from the blog.

No worries, Ryan. I didn’t even tell anyone I was posting this appeal to change the name.  People seem to like DeBlog more than I knew, so maybe I’ll keep it the same.  I will be on WCCO-AM Radio Tuesday (tomorrow) afternoon from 1-3pm, so I’ll call that Rush Hour with JD for you.

People hate change, J-dog.  Last year’s elections should have taught us all that.

As I commented on deBlog, it was nice of Jason to give me a nod as the original namer. I love the idea of using the name (and terrific graphic image) created by MNspeak’s own Douglas Gogerty: “From DeRussia With Love”

Naming a blog is a strange thing.  I went with my inspiration, which seems like a common theme.  Jason, why did you get into teevee in the first place?  Have a teacher or an old hero that got you started?  What do you do when the job gets you really worn out or blue or just feeling crappy?  That’s how you put a little heart into a blog – something that other people think sounds a bit strange – but is still catchy.
