ever since i read the story about the "Max Headroom" guys about how they picked their name (because it was written at the entrance of every parking garage)

i think the best way of naming a company is to make it something that is said hundreds of times by people every day

"an apple a day" etc... wonder if I can name my comapny "the The company"

or "the corporation of Is" haha

If Max had been killed by a train, he would have taken the name, "Mind the Gap" or perhaps just the very appropriate, "Mind Gap".
