"The colour red is the most far reaching in the spectrum. It's historically been linked to power and chromalogically it connotes passion, fervidness and turmoil. Pretty much sums up the red journey thus far ... [it's] universally recognized, easy to remember, and (about) 1/5th of the world population's favorite color (including [Jim]). Makes for a short email address. Did I miss anything? Probably. Oh, I like it."
