"All that strangeness feels oddly home-like because (I think) as you look at the words that characterize our experience of the Internet [fallible, imperfect, complex, messy, connected], we can see that they are also the basic words that describe what it means to be human, to live together with other humans, about whom we care. The characteristics of the Internet are also characteristics of humanity. That's why the Internet, for all its deep strangeness, feels so comfortable and home-like to so many of us. The Internet is reflection of our nature, freed from the old constraints of the physical. That's why history is on the side of the Internet."

Blog (noun) A weblog or similar brief journal usually containing links and commentary thereon. Term coined by Peter Merholz.
Visit Typepad or Blogger to start your own. (I began with hand coding, then switched to Blogger when it first became available, then to Movable Type when I wanted more control over my weblog and to have it hosted at a place of my choosing (Hurricane Electric). Now I use Typepad, built by the same folks who made Movable Type and I love it).
