Renaming the blog to Emergent Chaos (I)
In 2007, Artist Kristin Sue Lucas went before a judge to get a name change to…Kristin Sue Lucas. She’s put together a show called “Refresh” and one called “Before and After.” [link to http://www169.pair.com/klucas/before_after/ no longer works] My favorite part is where the judge wrestles with the question “what happens when you change a thing to itself:”
JR: And I don’t mind the time. I just don’t know that I have the
legal authority to change your name when it’s not a change. The
code sections talk about changing. Can I give you an order that
doesn’t change your name at all? That keeps your name the same? Is
that the same as granting a name change? And I think not. And I’m
going to do this, I’m going to continue this matter for two
weeks… and try to think about these issues in this time…

at least you didn’t change it to Rational Survivability 😉
Can I change my name to my social security number?
