Now Known as “Kingdom Geek”

Sev­eral months ago, I spent a good deal of time attempt­ing to come up with a name which reflected my per­son­al­ity, my val­ues… A name which I could give this blog (which at the time was known sim­ply as “RickBeckman.org”) that would let vis­i­tors know what it was about with­out using my own name as an iden­ti­fier. Not that my name isn’t good or any­thing, but that it’s my name, not nec­es­sar­ily my blog’s.

And I like the name “King­dom Front,” but after hav­ing lived with it for some time, I’ve decided that I was only 50% right in choos­ing that name. An increas­ing num­ber of posts here aren’t about the inter­sec­tion of Scrip­tures & life at all but are instead about pro­gram­ming or some other geeky thing.

So with that in mind, I came up with what i think is the ideal solu­tion: King­dom Geek.

You don’t have to like it, though I hope you do, but I feel it best rep­re­sents what I do here. I’m a Chris­t­ian, I’m a geek, and so far as I can tell, the name hasn’t yet been taken. I was able to reg­is­ter King­domGeek as my new Yahoo screen­name even, which is excit­ing — good names are hard to reg­is­ter on Yahoo any­more. Feel free to add me to your con­tact list, if you’d like.

The name change may not be done in a thor­ough fash­ion; “King­dom Front” may still be ref­er­enced in all sorts of places that will take a while to update. If you link here, would you be kind enough to update your links to reflect the new name? (Also, don’t link to me as “The King­dom Geek”; I’m just one geek among many within the Church, and I’m not claim­ing to be the geek in Jesus’ camp. “King­dom Front” with­out any arti­cles is just fine with me. :-)

What do you think? Like the new name? Or hate it?
