[Lex Computer & Tech Group/LCTG] Meeting Reminder: Batteries and The Grid, presented by Ted Kochanski 10AM ET, Wednesday, September 13, 2023. Lexington Computer and Technology Group

Tue Sep 12 08:43:27 PDT 2023

I agree with Olga's don't-rename thoughts.  Maybe we could change our
*byline* to include other topics we cover (like "LCTG, a group of
interested and interesting professionals discussing various current topics
of Science, Technology, Computer, Engineering, Medicine, Mathematics, and
their historical development")

But if we want to consider a new name, maybe there's a resource we could
use to help.

With the help of ChatGPT, here are some possibilities it suggested and/or
inspired.  I'm not personally "in love" with many of them but maybe they'll
prompt other ideas:

*LexQuest*, or *LexQUEST*, short for Lexington Quantum, Engineering,
Science, Technology.  This my shortened version from ChatGPT's suggestion
of *LexQUESTAM*, Lexington Quantum, Engineering, Science, Technology
Astronomy, and Medicine.

Or this: *LexSTEMX*, short for Lexington Science, Technology, Engineering,
and Mathematics/Medicine, Explorers.
Or *NESTEMX*, same but New England based if we don't want to include
"Lexington" in the name.

*STEAMdunk* -- corny, like slam-dunk, but like getting the ball (topic) in
the basket for science, technology, engineering, astronomy, math and
medicine?

*LexSTEAM*, short for Lexington Science Team and/or Lexington Science,
Technology, Engineering, Astronomy, and Mathematics/Medicine.  Doesn't
include 'computers' though, maybe that's under Technology.
*Lex Steamers*

Other ideas include:
*TechFusion*, suggesting the merging of various technical and scientific
fields for dynamic discussions
*LexiVersity*, combining Lexington and University, implying a place of
versatile learning.

Related but I (steve) don't like these...
*WisdomMasters* -- highlighting the wealth of knowledge and experience of
our professionals
*EduSages* -- combining education and sages to signify the wisdom and
teaching role of our members.  Maybe sounds too much like sausages...
*WiseMindInstitute* -- suggesting a place/group providing wisdom and
intellectual growth through education
