I got a tumblr and other assorted things…

Because I am totally cool guy who is trying to be a person who works full time on the internet and writes all the time, I found another thing to distract myself by starting a tumblr. It’s mainly for shorter posts that I don’t feel are worth posting here like this one I posted this morning:

I found an old ipod shuffle (I would say “my old ipod shuffle”, but I honestly have no recollection of ever buying or being given one) and it has the weirdest, most vintown playlist ever on it.

  1. Anthems for a Seventeen Year Old Girl by Broken Social Scene
  2. Banquet by Bloc Party
  3. Rebellion (Lies) by Arcade Fire
  4. Last Nite by The Strokes
  5. lisztomania by Phoenix
  6. Whoever You Are by Geggy Tah
  7. Going Back To Cali by Notorious BIG
  8. Game Got Switched by Ludacris
  9. Off The Wall by Redman & Eminem
  10. Fuck You by Cee-Lo Green

And that’s all. There is still 42 MB left to fill. I can picture the timeline when I started working on this (late summer/fall 2010, post-Scott Pilgrim (track 1/when Fuck You was still cool)), but don’t remember why I stopped.

Regardless of why, I am going to be listening to this for the rest of my trip.

You know, stuff like that. One might question my desire to have a tumblr, blog, baseball blog, twitter, facebook and google reader as well as my business websites, screenwriting(?) and freelance writing; and that would be a good thing to question. On the surface it seems insane, but someone once told me that writer’s block is when there is something that you need to express/write about and can’t for whatever reason. This is my attempt to get everything I want to say out there in one way or another and thus never suffer from this disease. I’ll let you know how it works out.

I wish I had an old iPod

I’ve really been enjoying the blog Lifehacker lately. It’s turned me onto a few things, like FeedFlix which tells you how much value you are getting out of your Netflix account ($3/movie. VALUE!), that I’ve really enjoyed and is generally right up my alley.

Now they’ve posted the Top Ten Things To Do With Your Old iPod. I have to admit that Rockbox looks awesome, but playing Duck Hunt on your iPod looks infinitely more satisfying.
