Why "The Memorandum"

So why call this blog "The Memorandum"?  At first, I was going to call it "A Wander Abroad", since that is what I was about to embark upon.  But when I showed my Mom the URL, she looked at and said "A Wonder Bra? What sort of name is that?"

So, since many of the people I created this blog for are co-workers and because I had to find a URL that wasn't already in use on Blogger, I ended up going with "The Memorandum".  Both because it has sort of a business-type sound to it, and because the book sitting on my desk at the moment is titled "The Fuller Memorandum".  So I'm a bit lazy too.  =)

BTW, the Laundry novels by Charles Stross, which the Fuller Memorandum is part of and which begin with The Atrocity Archive are fantastic books.  Think James Bond with a hacker attitude meets the Cthulu mythos.  Great books!
