Looks like it’s been 10 years today since Jorn Barger first called his site a “weblog”. Of course, his weblog is still around. Collectively, the Web is infinitely lazier than Jorn, so the term shortened to just “blog”. As far as I know, blags are currently written by xkcd geniuses only, so the title of this post has to be taken as an acknowledgement of the great historical continuum.
