With the last post to this site being over 9 months ago, it’s about time for a change. Over the last 2 years of trying to maintain a traditional “blog” I’ve come to the realization that I just don’t have the time for this. Between a full time job, family priorities, and other commitments, the priority level of a blog fell pretty easily. Writing long-form blog posts takes a lot of time.

So, I decided to make switch to Tumblr that way I can do more quick and easy posts: links, quotes, photos and videos, etc. I may even post occasional traditional long-form posts, but we’ll see about that. Twitter is great for short and quick sharing, and I’ll still use it to some extent, but 140 characters is sometimes just not enough to communicate something clearly.

From what I can tell, Tumblr makes posting various content types super easy. I can’t think of an easier way to post than to use the bookmarklet they provide. For regular posts like this one, posting via email is much easier than logging into and navigating through a cms, as I did before with WordPress. Yeah, Tumblr doesn’t support comments, but my previous blog hardly got any comments any so I’m not worried about that. If I want to add commenting in the future, I’ve read some stuff about using Discus for that. All in all, I’m looking forward to this much easier to manage direction. Thanks Tumblr for making it simple.
