Everybody and their mother is talking about Pownce, a service nobody really needs. Yet, nerds will be nerds, and nerds will go where all the other nerds are going. Whether it be an iPhone or a new service, there is never a shortage of suckers who will give in to the latest hype.

Everybody's presence on the net is all over the place. MySpace. Facebook. Twitter. Jaiku. Match.com, Yahoo Personals. I've probably signed up for about twenty new services this year. I'm just sick of it. Half of these things I don't even need. Like Pownce -- I just don't get it. Twitter suits me just well, thank you. And if I'm going to send files to somebody -- I'll email it to them. Maybe I wouldn't be complaining right now if they just made the sign up process on these things a little easier. I don't know how I feel about a National ID card, but what I wouldn't give to have one Login/Password where I could sign up for any service. There's OpenID -- but who the hell is developing for it.

I say this, yet today I signed up for another service. Irony, I know. But I think I need it and I think it's going to be useful. Maybe not, but we'll see. Maybe I'm just a sucker signing up for a new service!

I've been looking for a place to post my thoughts, interests, quotes from other people, etc. Just a "Current Thinking Status of Slippy Jenkins" if you will. What about this blog? You'll get no insights here. I post about personal stuff mainly -- stuff for friends and family. Where the hell I went this weekend. And plus, I want to update this new thing more frequently. I hate posting long entries. I just can't do it. And Vox doesn't have an easy way to update now. So this new blog will be different. This new blog will be all business.

So, here's my Tumblr Page: http://slippy.tumblr.com

Oh, and the Tumblr Page will be pulling in posts from here and Twitter. So If you like the new blog, you can probably just stay there.
