the etymology of the word 'blog' is insane

[alwinfy]

blog is a contraction of web-log.

log as in a record of your posts, but more generally as a record of events that happened. as in a 'logbook', a record of the speeds of a ship. log-book as in 'chip log', a piece of wood they tied to a rope to measure speed with

web as in the world wide web. as in a huge interconnected woven web of connections, but with computers and networks instead. the use of web in this context as such a metaphor was coined less than fifty years ago

the tendrils of history reach back so far and so close at once, and all so we can coin silly terms like "blogosphere." do you see me. everything's connected

The Junior Detective hints from Ned in the early games are so funny it’s like

Nancy: I need a hint.

Ned: Sometimes I really just want to spin an ornate globe three times to the left and once to the right and then place a giant chess knight on top of the pedestal that rises in front of the fireplace. Do you ever feel like that, Nancy?
