About the title of the blog

"Tales of the Electric Monk" is a rather obscure reference to a character in a Douglas Adams book, Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency. The Electric Monk "is a device that believes things to save the owner the trouble" (ref. Wikipedia).

That all being said, the name really doesn't carry any significance beyond the fact that it sounds cool and it's a weird semi-sci-fi reference. It's a name I often use for activities where a cool name is required, such as laser-tag or fantasy football.

So, the bottom line is that this blog is called Tales of the Electric Monk simply because I think that sounds neat.
