If you're reading this, you don't need to be told what a blog is. As of this morning, viewers of the Today show know what a blog is too... sort of. This morning, like most mornings, the Today show played in the background of our morning rituals. I heard Matt Lauer say, "Do you know what a blog is? If not, stay tuned and we'll tell you."

I thought to myself, it's official - blogging has reached critical mass and become so 5 minute ago, that is... until I saw the whole story. Now I would normally link to the story but the MSNBC.com site sucks so much that my iBook almost imploded trying to load the online story. Anyway, according to the crack journalists at NBC, blogs are a "new" way for teenagers to put their inner most thoughts on the web in diary format. Ok, I thought, that's one kind of blog but what about the rest of us? Nope, apparently blogs are just something for teens and, according to The Today Show, parents should be wary! You can search the MSNBC site for the story but I'm warning you, the navigation is abysmal. I guess that's what happens when you sell your soul to the devil, er, I mean that's what happens when you partner with Microsoft to provide any sort of cogent communication.

Even if everyone and their brother has a blog, I'll try to keep posting stuff that interests me or stuff that I'm doing especially if it pertains to my two favorite passions - Macs and MINIs.
