Red-Hot Ruby(*)

I missed resolving this: The red-hot violin player's first name is
Vanessa-Mae, not Ruby so there should not be trademark issues here.
Anyway: There are rumors that the "red-hot" does not apply to her
performance - but that's a different story...

Or just "Tuesday".

The win for Red Letter, is that not only does it denote specialness or
goodness, in both a literary and a more general sense.

I really like "Red Letter". It has a nice twisted, compelling something about it.

I'll mull it over. Any other ideas?

The Scarlet Letter?

Code Red? Red Alert?

Cheers,

Hi!

Sorry about that, GMX (my mail provider) sometimes fails to
communicate that the message has been sent and wanderlust (my mail
user agent) then assumes that the message has not been sent and leaves
it in the mail queue for another attempt to deliver. "Doppelt genaeht
haelt besser" as one says in German which literally means "[a] double
sewed [seam] is more durable" and by extension means "redundancy
improves reliability".

The Big Red One ???

... nah, personally I really like "Red" ...

The scarlet letter, I like that.

Actually, Red Letter is good though too

Yeah, that's what crossed my mind when I said I didn't like the name.
'Red Magazine' sounds like the socialist party newsletter.

I do like Red Letter, and Scarlet Letter is hysterical

Can't we just sublet a column in Ranger Rick magazine? I like to limit my subscriptions to a single source for amazing facts and beaver tales.

Yeah, that's what crossed my mind when I said I didn't like the name.
'Red Magazine' sounds like the socialist party newsletter.

Since the fall of communism in the USSR I think the general perceived
"threat" from socialism and communism is much less, therefore "red"
has lost some of its socialist connotations (at least for me.)

I do like Red Letter, and Scarlet Letter is hysterical

Given the nicer connotations of Red Letter, that may be a better
choice. Also according to the Wikipedia entry for "red letter day",
the highlighted red words on those red letter calendar days are also
known as "rubrics", a word obviously quite close to Ruby. In fact
should the magazine come to be known as Red Letter, it would be
amusing to have a column called Rubrics (which could have general
highlights from the Ruby community in the last month.) The subtle word
plays going on there are quite interesting.

Scarlet Letter, while amusing, clearly has negative connotations to
anyone familiar with the literary work of the same name.
