If you look closely, you'll spot that I've retitled this blog. It's the third title in the history of this site and in my opinion the best one yet. What once was Adam Pieniazek, and then was Prose of a Pol, is now:
Dot Boston
Prose of a Pol was always a bit clunky. Sure I'm Polish and proud of it, but don't write enough about Poland here to warrant the title. Plus, prose has a negative connotation. Apple dictionary defines prose as:
written or spoken language in its ordinary form, without metrical structure : a short story in prose | [as adj. ] a prose passage.
• figurative plain or dull writing, discourse, or expression : medical and scientific prose.
Not quite the brand I'm going for here!
The name is also an ode to my home city and my home neighborhood, Boston and Dorchester, respectively. It was inspired by an upcoming event I'm partaking in called ADORE-chester!, which aims to celebrate the good about Dorchester, rather than the negative that is often portrayed in the mainstream media. Since I also write a good amount about web technologies, the dot is a play on the period used in all web addresses. In my opinion, it's a win all around.
What do you think of the new name?
