Vinay, on beer

July 24, 2007 – 5:28 am

Vimeo is king.
It took me about five minutes to upload this video, and publish it on my blog:

That’s the first line in Tumblr’s FAQ section, but I like Wikipedia’s definition better:
A tumblelog is a variation of a blog, that favors short-form, mixed-media posts over the longer editorial posts frequently associated with blogging. Common post formats found on tumblelogs include links, photos, [...]

Excited for the Encyclopedia of Life

May 13, 2007 – 10:59 am
