I don't remember when I first heard the term "blog", but it must have been around 2001 or so because I had a page on my personal site that was blog.cfm (I think people were still often using the longer form "weblog" to refer to them). It was a series of entries, with a date, and was mostly tech musings with some personal updates mixed in.
