As it turns out, the thing you are reading, this literary form of links and gossip and edification, is called a weblog, or, more precisely, a blog. I like the term blog if only because "weblog" makes me think of an access log, and when I do searches on the term I get people's Webtrends reports. Julia Keller of the Chicago Tribune has an article talking about blogs, as does Jim Battey of Infoworld.com. I will probably slap all this stuff into a site at some point, as I have been having trouble finding blog software and info.

A blog also appears to be a drink. Here's how to make one:

1 can lemonade
1 can orange juice
1 can limeade
4 cans vodka or 151 rum
1/2 can of grenadine juice
