As usual, I'm woefully late to the party. Tumblr is pretty grand. Its layouts are interesting and much more versatile than Blogger's. I started checking out Tumblr when I discovered a few of my friends' blogs on there, and then I created one for my workshop, and then one for me to write whatever I wanted.
Check out my tumblr.
Neat things about tumblr:
- you can change your domain name at any time, as long as it's not taken
- you can do photo slideshows!
- the selection of formats is pretty great!
- you can add new pages to your blog
- it's easier to upload pics and videos, and you can play around with them more
I wish I could combine my Google account with my Tumblr account so that all the blogs I follow would be in one place. I can't add Tumblr's to my Google reader.
Tumble away!

video blogging of Crown Heights
As I was contemplating exactly how I wanted to start writing more journalism pieces, I thought about conducting interviews with people in my neighborhood. I've stopped by and chatted with these people, but wouldn't it be interesting to hear their life stories? How did Lily, a Nigerian woman with a PhD in pharmaceutical science end up opening a bakery? How does Sue Rock, who donates all of her profits from her clothing store to local rape shelters, support herself? Ja, who makes juices and soups at Veggie Haven on Franklin Ave, works every day and commutes to and from the Bronx. How did he and his mother open a business in Crown Heights?
