My Very First Blog

Ah, yes, blogging.

I'm not very sure how to do this or what to do.

Searched a bunch of things related to blogging. It even had me wondering, "where did the word 'blog' even come from?"

We have the word "vlog" which meant "video blog" or "video log". Either way, it's a no-brainer that the "v" would stand for "video".

So, what about the "blog", where does that "b" even come from, what does that "b" even mean?

Turns out the culprit was Peter Merholz. At that time, it was called "weblog". You already see it? He played with the word by adding a space in it, turning it into "we blog". Going even further "we blog". Now we have "blog".

Very anticlimactic, I know. I thought the "b" would be some obscure ancient internet word, or some ancient language. Turns out it's just like any other words in the modern world, just made up on a whim by someone. Just like "WiFi".

I still need to learn the ropes to this blogging thing. I'll get there eventually. Let loose and just write anything. Well, not really anything, or everything even. This could be treated as a diary, just as it was originally intended. May also be a journal. But not as fancy looking like those notebook journals with all the stickers and everything. This might just be a bland way of logging things with included photo. A rather convenient way than printing photos and pasting to notebooks. This also will save a lot on ink and paper, those things cost a lot, too much for my current income.

Another thing to learn are sentence and paragraph structure. Bah! Who cares about those? Just write as you want. Grammar and spelling are just some minor things that is easily corrected by spell-checker. Creative structure is still not something that an AI can perfectly do, right?

Anyway, that's it for today.
