Where the next change you make will necessitate a complete makeover with a new, more magazine-like layout - and this so shortly after introducing the new and still-liked cream/magnolia colour scheme! Now what's that point called? Isn't it the same with Black Holes, at the boundary of inescapable gravitational pull? Is it the Event Horizon?

Without the hard b it's Rambluurugg rather than the much superior <b>R</b>am-ble-<b>B</b>log. But then I do like my 4/4 time sig.

Rambleblog has a stumbling double-b sound in the middle. I initially read it as ramble-og, which is much more euphonious, but impossible to sensibly spell in English.
