A Minor Confession

I don’t like the verb “blog.” Actually, I kind of hate it. I despise sentences like “I blogged about this or that.”

But then I thought to myself, “Self, what is it you’re doing here if it’s not blogging?”

Well, I feel like I’m going the same thing I’ve done since 1995 or so, only some people now call it blogging. I still call it writing. This is a blog, but I write on it.

I like words. One might even say I’m a big fan of them, both the words themselves and their visual representation. Typography is how I got interested in etymology. Sadly, blog turned into a hyped-up overused word that started to replace the already perfectly good word write.

    Johan, although I’m a bit late, I’d still like to agree with you. Cheers :-)
