Google Notebook in Blog Form?

Oops, I said "blog"!

 What I meant to say was Tumblr Blog!

 Anyway, so, I stumble across Tumblr.com, have a look at a few featured "Tumblelogs" and write a post on my blog (here: http://thepete.com/tumblrcom-seems-to-make-you-a-jerk/) bagging on Tumblr because it seems to encourage users to be glib, shallow, and generally unoriginal.

I was curious if I was right, so here I am putting my money where my mouth is. 

 I know from my experience with Twitter, I've learned to say things with fewer words and that trait has followed over )to a certain degree) to my blogging, which is good.  The question is whether or not traits I learn to use Tumblr will follow me back home, too.

 One thing's already certain, I don't like the interface for entering text.  WYSIWYG is positively for squares, man.  Who can't type in tags every now and again in today's world?  Also, what's with the weird line spacing?  When I hit "return" it double spaces.  Nice, in theory, but since this is the only thing that does that, it's annoying.

It's good to conform in someways, bad in others.  The balance between isn't always so hard to get to.
