I just tumbled!

I’ve recently noticed some big names in the design community getting on the Tumblr wagon these days so I thought I’d give it a try. When I redesigned my blog a few months back I noted what I hoped it would become—a stream of everything going on across all my various sites. Well, it looks like that’s exactly what Tumblr is doing (although I haven’t seen any flickr integration yet).

So I’ll give it a shot. The first step will be somehow importing all of my old stuff here, updating my domain, and getting myself to post something more than once every couple months.

I currently use Jekyll to keep up my existing blog, but it’s less-than-easy to post new entries, I have to admit. While I like the simplicity (just create a new text file, write Textile or Markdown, build and upload), it’s on my laptop (which I don’t always have immediate access to) and messing with the syntax gets tiring. Here I can post from wherever and post whatever I like, from full-blown blog posts to just an image. Neat.

Hopefully this will become a place I can point family to and keep them up-to-date (did I mention I have a baby on the way?).
