I really get a kick out of the Internet’s propensity toward hacking, chopping, gluing-together, and otherwise disfiguring existing words to make new ones.
Blog is the chop-shop result of a Log of one’s life preserved on the Web. Weblog. Why 2/3 of the first syllable was cut off is beyond me. Attached a chopped Mobile to the front, and you have your mobile web log, or moblog. That’s pronounced Mo-Blog, not mob log.
Moblogs generally involve mobile-ly transmitting things to your blog, but I take the easy way out and store my phone’s pictures on the microSD card, then transferring and uploading in regular intervals of when I feel like it.
Well, I finally felt like it.
(Note to friends: I only post the pics I take. Not the ones you send me. So don’t stop sending them.) :D
