FACEBOOK NAMECHANGE!: Regarding double meanings of "Aleph Meme", the Kashmiri 'Alif Meem' signifying the initials to my name (Amjad Majid), the Alif written as Aleph in reference to Borges, the Meem written as Meme in reference to "a unit of cultural information transferable from one mind to another" as coined by Dawkins. This name was adopted in 2009 for creative/artistic reasons, now for matters of cultural criticism/inquiry.
