According to Answers.com, the definition of “diary” is a follows:
di·a·ry (dī‘ə-rē)
n., pl. -ries.
- A daily record, especially a personal record of events, experiences, and observations; a journal.
- A book for use in keeping a personal record, as of experiences.
[Latin diārium, daily allowance, daily journal, from diēs, day.]
These defintions allude to a personal record of one’s life while blog is defined by answers.com as:
A blog is a website for which an individual or a group frequently generates text, photographs, video, audio files, and/or links, typically (but not always) on a daily basis. The term is a shortened form of weblog. Authoring a blog, maintaining a blog or adding an article to an existing blog is called “blogging”. Individual articles on a blog are called “blog posts,” “posts,” or “entries”. The person who posts these entries is called a “blogger”.
With this in mind, I shall now prescribe the intent of this so called “blog.” In essence, I will combine the idea of ‘diary’ and ‘weblog’ into ‘this-is-my-site-so-i’ll-write-whatever-vainglorious-idea-i-want’ kind of place.
