So here is my first official Helix Innovative Blog and being the tech geek I am, you think I would want to expound on something like how to handle interplanetary internet when we colonize Mars or something like that, but unfortunately another more pressing matter took most of my time before I could even get to the aforementioned galactic communications issues, so I decided I might as well just write about that first. Don’t worry I will geek out in the future, I promise. Cross my heart and hope to die. So, first off, this all started when recently I had to broach the subject of selecting a name to use for my blog that I will be writing for the company I founded called Helix Innovative Inc. I know what you are thinking; you already have a name, just use that one.

L: “Listen, you need to be more professional now so you can’t go calling yourself “DeathmasterKillz2001” or
whatever crazy name you have floating around in your head.

Me: “You know, that is just so not fair, I mean so many people get to have cool names on their forums so why do I have to get hosed?”

L: “Let’s put it this way, do you want to be a technology company CEO or do you want to play Dungeons and
Dragons in your parent’s basement every night at age 45?”

Me: “Hey don’t knock the basement, I had a lot of good times in that basement, did you know I used to have
a life size replica of Capt Kirk’s chair that my stepfather and I made? Used to pretend I was James T”

L: “Put your tricorder away Mr. Spock and think long and hard for a minute about this, you already know I am right.”

Me: (exhales) “All right, fine I will be…….oh, let me think…how about my real name ‘Craig Hamar.’ Way
to suck the fun out of it. I have been co-opted, sold out. Geez I feel like kicking my own @#$ now.”

L: “Calm down, you made the right decision and see you can be reasonable, now let’s go dress up as Jedi and duel with light sabers.”

Me: “Thought you said I was supposed to start acting more
professional.”

L: “Baby steps, but you will get there.”
