The short answer is, the name doesn’t mean anything. About 20 years ago, I was looking for a new domain name. Domain squatters had grabbed up most of the English language and wanted a small fortune for names.

I came up with “Ponkabonk” as a silly name that is unique and fun to say. Plus, it was free. So, I landed on ponkabonk.com. The domain ponkabonk.com is a placeholder and isn’t used for anything…yet.

Since then, all of my projects have incorporated “Ponka” somewhere in their name. So, when I decided to create a blog, “PonkaBlog” was an easy choice.
