Frankly, I think the word weblog is ugly. Blog is even worse. These are not combinations of letters and vowel that should ever have been perpetrated on the English language.
However, it's spitting into the wind at this point to protest them. I think they're here to stay ~ at least as long as the blog phenomenon itself is around.
With those disclaimers out of the way, I'm happy to adopt the description coined by Russell Beattie: multi-blog. It's still not particularly euphonious, but it does describe those of us who don't stick to any one topic. Sometimes we talk about our personal lives, sometimes we point to other interesting items elsewhere on the web, sometimes we indulge in deep geekage. If one wished to be grandiose, one would call it the Renaissance approach; if one wanted to be cruel, one could say it was dilletantism. Given those choices, multi-blog suits me just fine.

It's the little things that count
The spell-checker now looks at two- and three-letter words.
The modem icon in the menubar now shows connection progress and then time elapsed online.
The buttons are now more matte than shiny, and the dock doesn't have a stripy background anymore.
Write to me!
