A Blog by Any Other Name

Oddly, I’ve never liked the word “blog.” Blog, blog, blog, blog, bloggety blog. It sounds a bit like something that would come out in your Kleenex on the third day of a severe and lingering head cold. But I have yet to find a sufficiently vibrant substitute. "Weblog" is only marginally better in that respect, and "continuous commentary" reminds me more of what I get from my two-year old on any given morning.

So pass the Kleenex. Blog it is.
