Why ‘A Little Off’?

Thursday afternoon at some arbitrary time I was discussing my frustration with getting some of the code to work on my Arduino with a friend of mine at work. This sort of lead to me showing him the blog post I had written a draft for the night before. He noticed I finally got the syntax highlighting plugin working and he was actually there when I was looking through the different color themes for the code. Eventually I settled on one which almost but didn't quite match the theme for the rest of my blog perfectly.

Until this point I hadn't really thought much about why I named the blog what I did. Except now I have a real reason. Before I just sort of thought... "What will people say when they read these posts... AH HAH! 'A Little Off'!!". This doesn't necessarily mean I know my posts will suck or that nobody will appreciate them for whatever they might actually be worth but... generally my ideas are a little off, good, but a little off. But now I have a real reason: If anyone should ask me "Why 'A Little Off'?" all I'll have to do is say "Take a look at the syntax highlighting on the code".
