Why JamesDev?

by James on April 6th, 2010

What’s a good name for a blog about game development by a programmer named James Ford…

  • programmer – to long, ugly word
  • game - ambigious
  • ford - not about cars
  • blog - not in the domain name, thats just cheesy

And that leaves… JamesDev, as in Developer not Devon, also rhymes with GamesDev, as in, http://gamedev.net

Brilliant, I know, I bet this guy is jealous.

Ford is actually a fairly common last name, and no my grandfather did not invent the automobile ( but his name was Henry ). The particular combination “James Ford” is also quite common. So to clear things up…

I don’t do actingwritingproductiondesignweb. This blog is not mine. I’m not a marketing professional in Alberta. I am not a Senior New Media Developer at  MMT Digital. I’m not a member of the The Dallas Gay Professionals Meetup Group. Actually I do live in Dallas, thats a little scary. This is not my youtube channel and this isn’t my blog at TorquePowered. Oh wait, that last one is me.

Curious, here is a list of ~319 James Ford’s that live in Texas.

  1. Well, having a common name is not always so bad. :)

    Saw this on Digg today: http://digg.com/d31NZSw

    You could always change your name, too. But does Mr.Dev sound that much better? Actually.. uh.. scratch that last question.

    I’m a little afraid to bring up a punchline with Lost, so I’ll skip that.

  2. Maybe you should go and meet up with all of the James Ford’s in Texas… just in case you have a double. They say that there are 3 people in the world that look like you. Yet to be proved of course!

    Oh, I like the idea of a meeting of all the texas “james ford”s! And, you are too funny. Just reminds how you were always good at writing (and not just writing code!).
