Question: What Is a Blog?

Here is a response to a question some of you have asked me.
A number of you have emailed me asking exactly what a blog is. Here is a modified copy and paste of one of the answers I sent last night.
"Blog" is a contraction/abbrieviation of sorts for "weblog." BLOG = weBLOG...get it?
There are thousands of weblogs on the internet (simply do a Google search for "blog" to see for yourself. Most blogs run daily at least until the writer get bored of it, busy, or run out of material for something everyday (see, this is why I decided not to do one everyday in the first place).
I've read numerous blogs from those that are glorified diaries to some that are really sharp commentary and opinion pieces. I hope to aim toward the latter because, frankly I feel like the diary stuff is kinda boring.
Hey, I got to use "kinda" again.
