No, no Fuzzy, *not* that kind of log. These are weblogs - referred to as
"blogs". A friend of mine has one going and as far as I can tell it's a
"platform" for folks who like to write. 

I had never heard of them until last week when she informed me that she had
one. Hers is just kinda like an online diary with anecdotes about her life,
her philosophies and stuff.

To be honest, I'm not quite sure what to make of them, but whatever floats
yer boat :) 

The link that was posted earlier, will reveal all.
