No Twitter for Hitler

“Like the other night I was out partying with some friends and tried to text message a tweet about how wonderful life is…”

I feel very conflicted by actually agreeing with Hitler on this one topic. I’m a bad person.

Hello World

I just realized that I set up this fancy semi-new blog and domain and have yet to actually write anything in it.  That is, except what I imported from my old blog.

Though I’m definitely not going to promise more posting, I do hope to do more with this space than I have before.  I am just starting to set up a sandbox where I can play with different web technologies and learn.

I will also be posting a concerts page soon to keep track of my various shows both past and upcoming.

Blog on my Blog

So, I decided to start a Tumblr blog. For those who don’t know, Tumblr is a way to blog about, well, blogs. Sure, you can write up entries and post photos, but where it seems to shine is the ability to add a Flickr, del.icio.us, or any other kind of feed to the blog. So, say that I upload photos onto Flickr, they just pop up on my Tumblr blog. I review some books on Goodreads? Boom! Automagically on my blog.

This way that I can blog without actually blogging. I love it when it pays to be lazy!

Anyway, here is my Tumblr blog: http://chrisjm.tumblr.com/
