Barker’s Barkings.

Not in the conventional sense anyway.

I’ve grown out of the “Random Ramblings” name, partly because of the fact that I could never get Random Ramblings as a .com name.

Following this decision, I’ve decided to rename my blog to something a bit more creative.

As you may note from the right hand side of this site, my last name is Barker.

The last name Barker comes from the old carnival people who attempts to attract patrons to entertainment events, such as a circus or funfair, by exhorting passing public, describing attractions of show and emphasizing variety, novelty, beauty, or some other feature believed to incite listeners to attend entertainment.

It’s basically the person who advertises the circus and/or other things. They were the early advertisers back when circus’ were huge.

Thinking about this, I figured that I’d “bark” out my life to people, in a sense, advertise it… I figured it’d be a bit more of an interesting switch.

I think it’s a change for the better.

Let me know what you think.
