I must confess that I really disliked the word blog when I first heard it. What a stupid word! I admit that I don't really know where the word came from (although I suspect it's just a shortened version of weblog)- Even though my internet-savvy mother will likely read this and endeavor to unravel this mystery and inform me proudly of the fruits of her extremely difficult and extensive research. Needless to say, the word blog conjures up images of violent vomitting. Not just vomitting, violent vomitting. There is a subtle difference- You see, just vomitting would be bleg, or perhaps blag. Anyway, it's too bad I'm not in charge of naming things. My first order of business would be to change this word. Perhaps I'd change the O to A and add an R after. BLARG. That has a nice ring to it. And just to add the finishing touch, I'd put a silent E at the end. Cause we all know that the english language is wacky (and arguably cool) like that. Blarge. So ladies and gentlemen remember- My blarge is better than yours.

As the Borg (or is it Borge?) used to say, You have been assimulated.

You're right, Jantzi. Blarg is much better. I'm so exited for yours!
