The Logue Official Debut
Saturday, February 7, 2004
After a few days work, I finally finished the main work on the structure of the site. With the days passing by, more content will be added. Just as the name of the site suggested, I LOGUE (log) things happening in my life, films that touched me deeply, music I enjoy and much more.
How do I get the name "theLogue.com"? Well, since it's mainly a blog which is the abbreviation of "weblog" which is the abbreviation of "web log", it's more appropriate to call it "the LOG(UE)" than anything else. I have been struggling coming up with the actual domain name for a while. It all happened one early morning around 2 o'clock when I were reading the book called "What should I do with my life" by Po Bronson (check the bookhistory section). When I laid my eyes on the word "Travelogue" in one story, I suddenly realized that's the idea I was looking for... A logue can not only record travel experiences, it can also logue life in every aspect such as thoughts, writing and other stuff. I was so excited that I finally find one domain name I like, and LOVE more importantly.
"When I laid my eyes on the word "Travelogue" in one story, I suddenly realized that's the idea I was looking for... "
Now, about the Chinese characters in the banner. You might be wondering what those one white and one crimson chinese words mean. Here is the story. The first white character is pronounced as /lu/ and means "to record". It's THE perfect word to be used in the banner in the way it sounds like "logue" and carries the actual meaning of "logue". The crimson character is pronounced as /lu/ too and means "1.a path; a road; 2.a journey; 3.a way; a means". The logue will record my journey down the road. So when you put the two word together, "Lu Lu" means "record journey".
Till now, you get the whole picture of the website. I will keep it updated. Come back to visit me soon. :)
