What's in a Name? A Big, Fat Typo

So I realized yesterday that a glaring error in this blog's display name had gone unnoticed (by me, at least) for several weeks. "Speak of fhe Daniel" is the jacked-up header that, until last night, greeted hundreds of new visitors to this site. It was, no doubt, a confidence-inspiring first impression. I literally effed up my blog's name. It's embarrassing.

Now, I know that I'm "just" blogging here, and that few of us are flawless typists. But this was
more than some minor typo buried in the text of a 500-word post. It was my blog's name in its banner display – the sign that introduces this site to the rest of the cyber world. This oversight kinda feels like the Web equivalent of walking around for weeks with your fly unzipped and a giant booger in your nose.

I'd just like to say sorry, and
that I sincerely regret the error. Or, in the estimable parlance of Gov. Rick Perry, "Oops."

I know it's not all bad. I
f anything, this mistake has convinced me that it's DEFINITELY time for some new glasses. (Seriously, it's been like five years). And I can also take a bit of solace from the knowledge that things could've been worse:
 


(And there's also this).

Anyway, this being the top-notch blogging operation that it is,
my crack team of typo specialists has since corrected the error. It's like it never happened. Whew!

Thank you all for understanding.
Hope this doesn't dissuade you from visiting again real soon!
