A Gift: Little Wooden Klogs
When I arrived at the office yesterday, I sat down at my desk and found that someone had left me a gift... these really cool looking little wooden clogs with "Klog" engraved on it. It didn't take but a second to come to the conclusion that my colleague and SEO partner Jessica was involved.
Jessica for the longest time has referred to my Blog as the "Klog" simply because it was easier to say and reference than spouting its full name... the Karl Ribas.com Blog. Makes sense, right? Typically we use the term "Klog" internally, but occasionally I'll throw it out here and there within a post. We also use these terms:
Klog (verb) - The action of blogging... similar to "blog".
Sentence: Did you Klog today?Klogging (verb) - The action of blogging.
Sentence: I'm Klogging right now.Klogged (verb) - A reference to Blogging. Similar to "blogged".
Sentence: I just Klogged. Go check it out.
Apparently Jessica's brother Chris (aka Guadie), who also happens to work in our office building, went on a weekend trip to Holland, Michigan where he came across the clogs. Upon his sister's request, he picked up a pair and had them engraved.
Check them out:


Their "FREAKIN SWEET"... aren't they? Maybe I should really consider changing my Blog's name to the Klog. Maybe even add a new header graphic with a big wooden shoe. Anybody have an opinion on that? I'd love to hear your thoughts.

LOL, excellent. I, for one, have been pushing for the transition of the Karl Ribas.com blog over to the Klog. While I love that, and think there are some great branding possibilities along with it, I also appreciate the professionalism and appearance of the Karl Ribas.com blog. You are right, though, these "klogs" are freakin' sweet!.... do what now?

LOL... nice klogs, yo! Ironically, klog.com is taken by some radio station, but has the same color scheme as your site :P

Thanks Disco.
The clogs are sweet indeed. I was thinking about bringing them with me to all of the conferences... kind of like how Mike Grehan has his stick. I'll be known as the guy with the wooden clogs.
I looked into klog.com awhile ago and saw that a radio station had already grabbed it. Oh well... shit happens. The color scheme is just a coincidence though.
