Two weeks ago [NPR did a story on tumblr][1]. It piqued my interest, as it sounded like a cross between a blog and Facebook. Also the tumblr terms of service were attractive. So I decided to give it a try, and I started the [SonicChicken tumblog][]. So far I’ve mostly been using it for short sysadmin posts, and I’ve already seen some benefits — I had to [requeue some email messages][2], and a few days later I had to do it again. A quick copy-paste out of my tumblog and I was done. Win!
