Article in last weeks NYT mentions that a feechur start among some
bloggers, posting pics of their cats. Here's a site that captures
various blogs with cat posts in the previous week:

Okay, I'm apparently clueless and behind on new Internet things -- but
what exactly *is* a blog? From what I've heard, it just sounds like a
daily journal or something. Is that in the ballpark, or am I way off
base?

Thot I'd PSed that but I did it in an eMail, heh. Yes, that was the
initial idea behind blogs but they've become tres chic WRT politics.

but it beats the alternatives as we know them!

No, that's about right! An online form of a journal.

Mine is at http://catdude.livejournal.com :)

Precisely! What you probably want to know also is where the name
came from. It's a contraction of "weB LOG". The first time I heard
the term, I had no idea what it was at all. Did a search on "blog"
and found thousands of entries but only one explanations of the name.
I still think it was just dumb luck that I found out the origin.
