To be honest, I'm not really sure anymore. I've had this blog for a few years, but so far no real theme has developed; certainly, I had no real theme in mind when I started it. If you've taken the trouble to read my other posts, you'll have found a selection of topics that took my interest when I posted them. I do try to keep themes reasonably current - I don't anticipate posting my opinion of The Beatles anytime soon - but it sometimes takes me a while to decide what I think about a news item.
So far as I remember, the title just came to me while I was thinking up a pseudonym for something I wanted to post somewhere else. I don't remember any details. At the top of my blog is a tagline: "Culture that makes you start; culture that makes you nod off; culture made by jerks". This was my attempt at twisting the title of the blog into some sort of theme - it isn't very clever. In case you're wondering, I didn't use the name 'Myoclonic Jerk' as the blog's URL as it had already been taken. I haven't read this other blog in detail, but it seems to be written by someone from the medical profession: no doubt she or he is more entitled to the name than I am.
Having recently looked at the stats that blogger.com are now handily providing, it seems that some of you might have found me by googling 'myoclonic jerk'. If that's you, then you were probably hoping for something more substantial - sorry.
