So…I’m blogging again.

This came about in a number of ways. One could call it a New Years Resolution, although that wouldn’t be technically correct. You see, I’ve blogged before, most notably during my teenage angst/emo/whatever the hell you call that horrible time. Even after I closed the book on that phase, I’ve wanted to get back into writing things down, but I’ve fumbled a lot with the platform aspect phase: I thought about doing my own CMS, played with iWeb, and looked into hosting my own installation of WP or something of the sort. Everything seemed to get in the way  of actually putting my thoughts into words.

Fast forward to last month. I’ve begun work on an iOS app for a development house whose clients want to integrate a variety of social networking sharing into the user experience. Obviously, Facebook and Twitter are no-brainers, but the client also mentioned Tumblr as an option they’d like to support. I was initially quite skeptical, as I’d only ever seen Tumblr used for photo “like/retweet”-style reposting and even then only among a younger demographic. Soon after, I was quite surprised to discover that some blogs I frequently read (e.g: MG Siegler’s Parislemon) are backed entirely by Tumblr. 

So here’s a bit of an experiment, partially to get back into blogging, partially to check out how well Tumblr works, and partially to rant comment on various topics in technology, law, gaming, sports, and whatever else crosses my mind.
