Name My New Pal Poll

After yesterday's post about the iMacAquarium and G4CubeAquarium, it's obvious that these great little DIY fish tanks need tenants. So I've decided to hold a poll on my blog so you can help me vote on the new fish names. I'm just going with one fish for now, so I only need to pick one name. This poll is just part of what I meant when I said this month the blog was going to become more "interactive". I encourage everyone to vote, but I ask that you please only cast your vote once to avoid any virtual ballot stuffing. I currently don't have a cutoff date for the voting, but I suppose I will end it once it gets really slow or new votes cease all together. Then the winner will be named - literally!

If you look on the sidebar, you will see I added a section called "Voting Booth". That is where the voting poll will take place. Voting is anonymous and open to everyone (registered and non-registered bloggers) so there is no reason not to participate. So help me name my new pal by voting today!

The nominees are as follows...

  • Steve - after Apple CEO Steve Jobs
  • Sushi - does it need an explanation?
  • Mac - tough name shortened after the iMac
  • iFish - spin off on the iEverything Apple makes

Honorable mentions that didn't make the final list are...

  • Beta - term to describe software in it's "pre-finished" stage
  • Pron - slang name for online porn
  • Jaws - after the movie
  • Moby Dick - after the book
  • Matrix - after the movie
  • DotCom - after the tech industry boom

These are all names I came up with, but if you have anything you feel I should add to the list and perhaps enter in the voting poll, then please let me know in the comments section here. Just tell me the name of your choice along with why you want me to include it and I will make decision from there on whether to include it or not. I'm open to suggestions so fire away.
