In a low bow to all of those who have called me flaky (and they are many!) I've decided to change the name of this site to painpill. It's not that I think I feel like two weeks have cleared up the murkiness around what exactly I want out of this site, and what exactly I want to be writing about. But the further I go, the harder it is for these kinds of things to change.
And I was somewhat uncomfortable with the name counterfactual. It was a little too suggestive of an argument-oriented approach, and I'm not by nature an argumentative type. With painpill I'm looking for something a little more playful, and perhaps a little wider in scope.
UPDATE: According to my girlfriend, changing the name was a bad idea. Let the readers revolt! Somehow I've managed to alienate half my audience.
