Tumblr - Like blogging but lighter. Like delicious but heavier or easier or… just try it
I have started using tumblr to post links and the what not and have to say that it’s creators have got it absolutely freakn nailed.
This is definitely one of the best pieces of user experience I seen in ages. Everything is quick. The sign up process is super simple, the help text or rather introductory text is well crafted, has you up and running and imbued with the whole spirit of micro-blogging in minutes and the post process is awesome! I would write more and do step by steps or something but it’s not necessary. Just check it out!
I am clearly a big fan. Posts here will probably drop off a little until I work out how to port them over. So for the two people who actually read this site, pop over to petercostello.tumblr.com and follow what I’m up to there.

As one of two plus people who does or did read your blog when having a second to spare from domestic family life, occasionally I’d find something useful to make the virtual world easier. Travel entries where great too.
Tumblr hmmmm yes while I can see these things might make you laugh or smile is it really ramdomness, aren’t these collection of imagies strategically choosen to place you in a box? Acceptance and approval come to mind.
There is no ramdoness, no one or nothing is unique and individualism what is that?
