Since day one of this blog, I have had an “Antiques” category. Mind you, it’s never shown up in the listing because this is the first post in the Antiques category!

And, now, it doesn’t fit into this blog’s theme anymore. So, rather than occasionally try to shoehorn antiques posts into a “Believe. Act. Achieve!” blog, I will do it as a separate blog. Yes, I am getting dangerously addicted to setting up new blogs. Not that this is a new thing, as I used to set up lots of websites all the time back in the Web 1.0 days.

Now, I need a name for this new blog. Consider that my interests aren’t confined to a single era either, but “Old Stuff that I Like” is somewhat of an uninteresting name. And, I’m not too sure about giving it a name with “Antiques” in the title either, as I’m not sure stuff from the 1980’s (or even 1990’s) can really be called “antique” or even “vintage” for that matter. Maybe “vintage 1995″ or something, but that only seems to really work for electronics, which age faster than something like, say, a chair.

Actually, checking Wikipedia, an antique is something 50 to 100 years old. Some things, like cars, can be considered antique if they are 25 years or older. Some electronics can also be considered antique even if less than 25 years or older.

In other words, my new blog will cover things that are antiques plus things that are just old but not yet qualifying of the “antique” label.

So, what would be a good name for this new blog?

Yes, I am asking you. It’s not a rhetorical question.

I’m liking “retroyears.” What do you think?
