I’m working towards moving this blog over to my Tumblr, but I’m pretty clueless on handling those kinds of things so it could be a bit to figure out how to break this site down and move it over there.

I’m doing it mostly because I’ve become too busy/preoccupied/more scatterbrained than usual and have too much going on to write daily content for this site.  With grad school, and gearing up work on my thesis, internships and “side projects” it is tough to keep this site updated.  So, in the name of more content, I’ll be moving this over to Tumblr because I post some kind of content there, but most of it is just notes and sketches of various things. I like Tumblr because its quicker and easier to update, and it suits my needs at this stage in my life.

Speaking of stages, this week I’m celebrating my five-year anniversary living in New York City, and also my one year anniversary with my wonderful girlfriend.  Things have been pretty great for me this year, and I owe a lot of it to this person I’ve been with. So coming up, I’ll be writing up posts on Tumblr about each year I’ve been living here, through the years my blog has grown, and changed platforms.  It start out at Blogspot, moved to Livejournal, settled here for a while, and is now mostly at Tumblr.  So I feel like writing up the retrospective on this newest platform goes along with my indecisiveness.

But: sorry, sorry, sorry for ignoring this blog, but its because things are going well–and that’s not to say that things were bad and that’s why I resorted to blogging–but things are going so well, that I don’t have much time to blog anymore.  So, sorry, but yeah: good things.

I have a Tumblr, as previously mentioned. I use it as a notebook. Eventually (when my hosting company upgrades its SQL), my jottings in that online notebook will be ported here as a daily digest. And they are jottings, I’m not taking care to do anything like form sentences or follow grammar for the most part. I have the Tumblweed app open in my menu bar and I can just pop it and quickly jot something in as an idea passes through the void that is the front of my brain.

I’ve been getting more and more busy with grad school wrapping up for the semester, so I haven’t really had as much time to blog here like I used to. Which is why I’ve been using my Tumblr even more.  I started out using it in a similar manner to what Warren described above about a year and a half ago.  Which is essentially as a scrapbook full of various notes, photos, and music tracks I liked and stories for research or of interest pieces.

With that said, I’ll probably be using Tumblr mostly and using this as a news site, as my New Things start gearing up.  Unfortunately, what all of this means is that there will most certainly be less blogging going on here, and mostly small tidbits over there. The good news is that my New Things are so cool they keep me super-busy, so I just don’t have time to compose posts here.  Fortunately, soon enough, I’ll be able to announce those Cool New Things here, but until then all that will be going on is my random blathering here.

At some point, I’ll figure out a way to integrate my Tumblr blog with this site for your convenience.
