Help! Brainstorming Tagline
A new site design is in progress. I need a one sentence tagline to go under the title Brainstorming. Here are some of my thoughts:
1. I'm painting my room in a colorful way, and when my mind is wandering there I will go (Beatles, Fixing a Hole)
2. Another road where maybe I could see another kind of mind there (Beatles, Got to Get You Into My Life)
3. I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For (U2)
4. "Those who danced were thought to be quite insane by those who could not hear the music." - Angela Monet
5. "They sicken of the calm who know the storm." - Dorothy Parker
6. "Think wrongly if you please, but in all cases think for yourself." - Doris Lessing
If anyone is reading this site, (besides googlers), drop any suggestions in the comments or send me an e-mail. Help! I need somebody!
Surely someone has better ideas than what I've come up with??

"A storm broke loose in my mind." Albert Einstein
"It's really human of you to listen to all my bullshit." Molly Ringwald as Samantha Baker in 'Sixteen Candles'
"Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!" Wizard of Oz
"Imagination is the only weapon in the war against reality." Jules de Gaultier

Thank you Brett!
I like the Einstein quote.
As far as "really human of you to listen to my bullshit", it fits, and I have not yet even begun to BS!
More help dear readers? Pick a favorite or add one!

a few more:
"Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one." Albert Einstein
"Is it weird in here, or is it just me?" Steven Wright
"Let's roll." Todd Beamer, a passenger on doomed Flight 93, as he and others moved to overcome the hijackers

Brett has some good ones. I like the first Einstein one and the Molly Ringwald one.
On a slightly less literate note, how about "A Cyber-Port in the Brainstorm"....

"Seize the day" fits with brainstorming.
Posted by: mog | December 16, 2003 at 06:45 PM
or along that vein... "carpe diem.... seize the carp!"
or maybe "carpe bloggem"?
and a few more less-than-stellar suggestions...
"A blog is a terrible thing to waste."
"The gene pool could use a little chlorine."
"We have enough youth--how about a fountain of SMART?"

Of the existing suggestions, I like these, in no particular order:
I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For
"Think wrongly if you please, but in all cases think for yourself."
"Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!" Wizard of Oz
"Is it weird in here, or is it just me?"
"The Brain—is wider than the Sky—" Emily Dickinson
Here a brain is consumed by the fire of a star. - Paul Klee
My own brain is to me the most unaccountable of machinery—always buzzing, humming, soaring roaring diving, and then buried in mud. And why?... Virginia Woolf
That'll do for now. I'll come back if I come up with some more.

ok, two more.. then I'll quit...
"dreams, they complicate my life." REM
"the generation that would change the world is still looking for its car keys." the Rainmakers
Posted by: brett | December 17, 2003 at 09:01 AM
alright.. one more
"like Tourette's... only without the naughty words"
or..
"the official blog of the 1980 US Olympic Hockey Team"
"Discovering cures for Alzheimer's.. but forgetting to write them down"
"Brainstorming: The blogfest of champions"
maybe somebody should stop me (no, that's not a tagline suggestion)

I don't know, I'm kind of partial to:
Brainstorming - Maybe somebody should stop me.....
Lot's on the desk today. I probably have 10 links saved that I want to blog about, but work is going to have to come first. :(
I'm thinking we'll choose one by tomorrow and hope to have the new design up by early next week.

It's always calmest before the brainStorm.

How about:
"Surely someone has better ideas than what I've come up with."
OR
"Surely someone has better ideas than what I've come up with, but read on if you dare" (or some other second clause like that)

If we are in a Latin mood, how about...
Cave Carpe!!! Beware of the carp
Posted by: john | December 18, 2003 at 10:08 PM
wouldn't 'beware of the carp be "carpe emptor"?
how about this... "vini vidi bloggi - we came, we saw, we blogged"
