To any of you who liked the old names, I apologize for yet another change, but they all felt lacking for one reason or another - too short, too long, too common, too pretentious (and so on).

However, I think this one is going to stick.

For anyone who doesn’t know, an interrobang (properly written ‽) is basically what it looks like - a combination of a question mark and an exclamation point.  For a more nuanced definition, check out the Wikipedia page here.  What I like so much about this punctuation mark is the particular feeling that it captures.  If you’re having trouble picturing that feeling, just mentally combine all the times that you have ever ended a sentence with one or more question marks and one or more exclamation points:

You call that a hat?! (quoted from the interrobang’s creator himself, Martin K. Specter)

This milk is how old?! (quoted from a resident of my old house at college)

You’re calling your blog WHAT?! (quoted from various)

Well, you get the picture.  I love this punctuation mark because, as Remington Rand stated when they added the key to their typewriters, it “expresses modern life’s incredibility.”

We do live in an incredible time.  Technology is progressing faster than ever before, and our ability to use it to learn about our minds and the world around us is increasing exponentially as well.  In this blog, I plan to ask some interesting questions about these topics, and if all goes well, I hope to find you some interesting answers.
