WHOA New content! So those of you who continue reading tedger.com (and why? I never update, I’m such a loser) will notice a new tab at the top. The section isn’t entirely done, and I’m pretty unhappy with the theme but it’s good enough to go live. What is “Tumblr?” Well if you couldn’t guess by the lack of an ‘e’ before the mashed together consonants Tumblr is spawn of Web 2.0. The idea of Tumblr is as you’re tumbling across the internet and you come across something that doesn’t warrant a full fledged blog post, but is nearly worth spamming all of your friends with links to you can just post it on your Tumblr. It’s incredibly easy to use and probably takes less the 30 seconds (depending on internet speed, your millage may vary) to post something to it.
Will this detract from my oh so frequent blog posts and potws? No, it wont. It’ll take up the same time as my normal casual internet trolling and thus will probably be updated far more frequently. The posts on it are pretty infrequent currently simply because it was more in testing mode. Now it’s more of a beta test, ready for public consumption but I am in no way ready to accept liability for it.
Enjoy viewing me tumble head over heals across the internet. Maybe I’ll break a limb and it’ll warrant a post on the real blog.

TJ! I like the Tumblr, and it’s like that sweet car in Batman Begins. Anyway, that popped collar guy that Ian posted? I have a student who does that! Well, I’ve only seen him with 3 popped collars, but I think that counts. WTF?? Why are boys so silly?

How come I can’t comment on things that you post on Tumblr?
I wanted to say that the KQ names are not nearly long enough. And I think something needs to be said so that future teams will try harder.
Although I do like “The Supremacy Clause.”

You can now comment on the tumblr! It’s pretty similar to commenting here. Right now I’m going to test the waters and see if I can leave it unmoderated. Currently the comments here are heavily moderated to prevent spam (2177 in the last 2 weeks caught by the filter and probably ~25 more that I manually moderate).
