If we don't get this 2log started off right, we'll be facing a disaster of Articles of Confederation proportions. 

The problem, as I see it... we called it "2log", but is there any difference between us and a garden variety blog?  Of course, dummkopf!  It's a 2log, and therefore substantially different from a blog.  For starters, the word "blog" does not begin with a single number, whereas 2log begins with 2. 

Are there other differences?  Who cares! I've already moved on to the next big thing.

The potential dilemma: HOW DOES ONE PRONOUNCE 2LOG?  (Actually, how does one capitalize 2log.  Cripes... Watson, one mystery at a time, please.)  I know many people like the bisyllabic approach... (for the bisyllabic-curious, that's pronounced tuu-lahg).  But as a thoroughly lazy man, I can't wastefully flash phonemes about.

Keep it to a single syllable, people.  It's pronounced "TLOG".  Think that's tough to pronounce?  Well, the Tl'azt'en Nation would disagree heartily.  And if you gripe too much, may Tlahuizcalpantecuhtli strike you down with a well-timed thunderbolt.
