From my 4 year old:

A family is kids and parents… That love each other… And eat food.. And breakfast… when they wake up in the morning.

I have been trying to read books lately that I feel have a lot of relevance in my life and I almost didn’t read this one because I didn’t think building schools in Pakistan was a subject that I needed to be concerned with. But my wife had purchased it a while ago and I was out of unread books at home.  So I forced myself to pick it up and start reading.

I’m so glad I finally picked it up because it was amazing.  It hasn’t changed my life… yet.  And it might not in the long run either but I kinda doubt that.

If you care about people… any people, read this book.  If you care about democracy read this book. If you care about the future of freedom in the USA read this book.

So I think I get Tumblr now.  Pretty sure.  Not positive but pretty sure.

I have setup Tumblr to feed to my regular blog. Wait, let me back up…

Since I installed WordPress a while ago I have been looking for a good way to post a simple image from my phone to my blog.  I installed the WordPress iPhone app and it lets me post but there’s not a simple way to just upload a photo and shout some short message about it.

Then when I started looking into Tumblr I could see that that was one of its strong points.  I thought to myself “if I could just get wordpress to do “that…”  And then I thought about it some more.   “Hmmmm RSS.  Been messing with that lately, I bet I could make that work…

So last night I took 20 minutes and setup RSS on here and added my Tumblr feed and presto. There are.

So that kinda sums up what I have done with Tumblr.  I’m sure there’s more to do with it but I haven’t got to it yet.

What do you do with Tumblr?
