I give up.

I fought this for a long time, but much like I tell others to give up on the term “Hacker” (and how it is often improperly applied to illicit individuals, as opposed to it’s original, true, meaning), I think it’s time for me to suck it up and admit I’ve lost the battle against the word “blog”. The word still disgusts me, but I am fed up having to explain to people that this is a journal, not a blog, and correct them when they refer to it as such. Language evolves, and if the rest of the population seems to agree on the use of a word, fighting the flow is futile.
