Brainstorming for application names can be fun (sample suggestion: "Gars Hokum", seriously), but it seems to have sapped my creative energy for the day.

Ok, who am I kidding, I've been in a blogging rut all week. Sorry everyone. Both of you. No, not you... more towards the back, with the spikey hair. No, just to your left. Yeah, you - sorry dude.

But that's ok, Lick is launching on Sunday, during Super Bowl halftime. Tony's been working on this for a while now, chronicling the process and soliciting work. I don't know the venerable Mr. Pierce, and I offended one of Lick's contributors, but I'm still excited.

The Super Bowl: the most recently-named major professional sports championship. Other major sports use no-nonsense descriptive titles like "The [league name] Finals" or quaint anachronisms (World Series), but the Super Bowl, named in the late sixties, needed punch. It got it, albeit in a dated 60's-marketing-optimism way. I shudder to think what it would be called today. Maybe the Gilette Xtreme-Bowl, or the Verizon Hyper-Match.

And at that moment, morland attained curmudgeonhood.
