This is Strong Sad's personal weblog. It originated with the Strong Bad Email website, when you could access it by clicking on the "F10" image at the bottom of Strong Bad's web site. It was on hiatus for 17 months until August 5, 2004, when Strong Sad remembered his password and began posting regularly again.

Easter Eggs
- When at Strong Sad's user profile, you can click "[none]" after "friends" to see Strong Sad's fond memories, which he keeps under his bed. These include:
- A "kard" by Strong Bad.
- A snow globe with the words "You're Number 1".
- A video reel of Strong Bad scaring Strong Sad.
- A photo of he and Strong Sad.
Fun Facts
- When depressio first came out, you could get it by emailing Strong Sad.
- Here is Strong Sads user profile:
- Info:
- Name: Strong Sad
- Email: depressio@homestarrunner.com

- For a short while on August 12th, 2004, heading to the front page of Homestar Runner (that is, the "come on in"/"watch intro" page) would instead bring up Strong Sad's blog. It was fixed before long, however. It's not certain if it was an accident or intentional, but given that it blocked all access to the site for a short period of time (without sneaking through the "404'd" pages), it's likely an accident.
- When you click on Strong Sad's profile, when it brings up the info, look at the picture of 'Morpheus'. It will drip a small drop of blood from the pictures eye.
- Strong Sad says he can't jump, despite doing two lousy jumping jacks in A Jumping Jack Contest.
- Strong Sad actually made a typo in the "Post-it on my face" entry.
He writes "If I type real quite, maybe he won't come in here." Instead of quiet.
- Strong Sad's "Fond Memories" prove, possibly, that Strong Bad used to be nice to Strong Sad. (Except, of course, the card.)
- The photo from the "Secrets that I keep" page show Strong Sad with a Peanuts (Charlie Brown) shirt on.
