To begin with...

The word "blog" really bugs me. I mean, it's short for "web log". That in itself sounds stupid. Couldn't we as a society come up with a better word for keeping a journal online? And if you visit or read many, most of them are actually news articles and such. Where's the "log" in that? Shouldn't that then be a "newslog", or a "neblog"? I mean, where the hell is language headed when words don't actually mean anything anymore? KIT RSVP ASAP OMG ROFLMAO WTF?
Things that may be logs:
  • Wooden log, also known as timber, wood from trees used for construction or wood pulp for paper production
  • Data log, a record of sequential data
  • Logbook, a log of important events in the management, operation and navigation of a ship
  • Logarithm, the mathematical operation that is the inverse of exponentiation, or the result of this operation.
  • Log (village), a former urban-type settlement in Volgograd Oblast, Russia; since 2007—a village (selo)
  • Log (journal), an architectural magazine
  • Chip log, a device used in navigation to measure the speed of a ship
