Yet Another Way To Keep Up With My Boring Exploits

I started up a Tumblr blog about a year ago because, well, everyone seemed to be doing it, although I admitted I didn’t have the first idea what I was going to use it for.  So it sat, and sat, and then one day I joined Instagram, and then I noticed than an update to the Gowalla client for iPhone allowed you to post your updates to Tumblr, and something clicked in my brain and I realized I could use the Tumblr as a stalker blog.

I freely admit to ripping this idea off from the DaveStalker page on Blogography.  If you visit my own stalker page, you’ll see that it’s Instagram photos tagged with my location at the time, or else photos cross-posted from my Gowalla check-ins.  Every once in a while I might post a check-in from Gowalla if it’s someplace cool (like the Space Needle!  Or the San Diego Zoo!) but probably not if I’m just going out for Mexican food (again).  The page looks pretty boring right now because I haven’t modified the CSS or anything, just pasted in some code to make the last ten Tumblr posts display.  Most of those photos will be posted on Flickr anyway, and if you want to follow the actual Tumblr blog itself it’s here, and isn’t the reason blogs are falling by the wayside because we all have about nine different services we use these days?  No doubt this is a matter for another post entirely but I remember back when I started this silly blog of mine we all just used Bloglines to keep track of new posts, and some of us spent a lot of time commenting on Flickr, and these days there’s Twitter and the Facebook and Tumblr blogs and Goodreads and Foursquare and everything else and I’m having trouble keeping track of what I have out there, just remembering as I write this that I think I have a Friendfeed set up someplace.

But I digress.  I have a stalker blog set up and I will try to make it a little prettier later.

As you were.
