  William Safire, thelanguage maven of The New York Times, wrote delightfully (as ever) about the word "blog" on Sunday, July 28, 2002: "The first use I can find of the root of blog in its current sense was the 1999 'Robot Wisdom Weblog,' created by Jorn Barger of Chicago. Then followed bloggers , for those who perform the act of blogging and -- to encompass the burgeoning world of Web logs -- blogistan as well as the coinage of William Quick on the blog he calls The Daily Pundit, the blogosphere ."
