Blog title changed

I get a comment from somebody that it really likes my blog title because is really geek alike. And I finally realize that this was the problem, the title. That's nobody like my blog, not nobody but just a few that really know what's about i have to change it.
So for the people that wondering, my old title was

cat /dev/mind > /dev/blog
But seams that most of the people didn't understand the idea so I am going to explain.
In Unix/Linux operating systems the devices are sown in the file system like a files. For example the first disk of the computer is /dev/hda, the second is /dev/hdb and so on, even simpler the mouse device is a file named "mouse" in the directory "dev". Second thing is that the "cat" command is reading from a file and is printing on the standard output ( the console on the monitor by default) but the output can be redirecting in to another file by putting the ">" character after it and specifying the file. So the title mean something like "read from my mind device and print everything to my blog device" i had considered that will be really funny. But seems that nobody understood it. So I have to change my title to something more readable.
Thanks LDF for the comment and for making realize.
