Blogging on take 2

Ok...i tried to start my blog on myspace but it was too labyrinthine...so I've moved! Here's what i said over there...So blog is the abbreviated from of "web log"...I'm trying to think of other words that are combined and then decapitated...there's ezine which i guess is e-magazine (is it?)...it's a funny process really...maybe it's an internet phenomenon? I guess the net and the web are both decapitations...usually, though, linguistic amputation occurs at the end of compound words: mobile (for mobile phone not *bilephone* - but phone comes from telephone), tv or telly (for television not *lv* - could this mean lavatory; or *lesion* or a francophonic *le vision*), remote (for remote control...although in my house we call it the "controller", well maybe that's me that says that)...are there other examples??
