Tumblr - Like blogging but lighter. Like delicious but heavier or easier or… just try it

April 13th, 2008

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.

Muxtape. I’m liking it!

My Muxtape

Have been wanting to put a mixtape together for ages. Even tricked around in garage band to make something more DJ stylee. But… Since I’m not a DJ and really don’t have enough time to trick around in garage band muxtape is totally the next best thing. So here’s mine, should probably be titled “living in the past”.

All this needs is a head with laser cannons and some little men on ropes with light-sabers and your half way to a real At-AT. Which is actually a little scary.
