A new term for the Web

By Todd Stadler · Saturday, August 5, 2006 10:24am

Since Julia and I got back from Scotland, there hasn't been much going on in the world to talk about — pretty much smooth sailing as far as the eye can see — so I haven't had anything to say on this blog.

Actually, since I'm not logging much these days, it's hard to really say this is a blog, that is, a Web log, or a log of daily activities aboard this spaceship that we call "Earth", the likes of which is reproduced on the World Wide SuperWeb of Information Dot Com.

No, the Cockahoop blog is more like the skeletal remains of what once was a blog. Sort of a Web ruin, if you will.

Thus, ladies and gentlemen of the Web, I present to you this, the first ever "bruin".

So when other hipsters and digerati start referring to the objects of their neglection as bruins, as in "nobody reads my bruin anymore" or "bruins — gah!", then know that you read it here first.

Or, more likely, you didn't read it here. Because you long ago gave up on waiting for me to write something. And that's cool, too.
