Who came up with the word “blog” anyway?

I mean, it’s so weird.  “Weblog” I understand, but it’s already short enough.  Does it really need to be shortened further?  A “blog” sounds like an enemy from the Commander Keen series.

In which case, I may come to enjoy this activity.

Anyway, this is looking to become a place to publicly share my writing projects and anything related to them, like what inspires me, what music I listen to, and why.  And I can’t think of much else to say for a first post.
