Tumblrizing

I announced this on twitter a few weeks ago but hadn’t officially mentioned here yet, but I’ve been using the tumblr lately. Apparently I signed up for an account about three years ago and completely forgot about it. A few weeks back I was talking to Brian Raftery about tumblr, saying things like “I don’t get it!” and “it doesn’t make any sense?” I just couldn’t figure out why someone would want to use this closed-off half-blog system if they have a real blog at their disposal.

Then I started to understand, where a blog post should have a title and a point, a tumblr is less formal and more random. (aha! steve catches up to 2008.) So I started pulling some things out of the archives, lining up some assorted nonsense, and somehow I’m already up to 80 posts. Take a look! You’ll also see recent images from there in the new sidebar on the bottom right of this here blog page.
