Introducing my tumblr

One thing a blog is not really great at is as a format for really short posts and a locus for community… Two things a blog is not great for are as a format for really short posts, a locus for community and a place to…

Among the things a blog is not really great for are (a) a format for really short posts, (b) a locus for interaction with a community, and (c) a place to chat.

I used to love Livejournal for all those things, but LJ is deserted these days. This blog on its own just doesn’t cut it. I find Twitter intensely tedious and Facebook intensely annoying and hard to use. I have therefore relocated on a day to day basis to Tumblr.

I would love to see and follow anyone with a tumblr over there. Let’s actually talk for a change, rather than me just lecturing (which is what it feels like, shouting into the void on this blog.)

I am at http://itsthebeecroft.tumblr.com/ I would love to see you there!

Tattoo completed

After all these years!

Got my tattoo finished off yesterday. I can’t actually tell what colour it is because it is so inflamed, but when it calms down it will probably be verging on very yellow. I now have my own sunshine with me at all times.

You couldn’t really see the anchor before, so I suggested making the anchor yellow/orange too, and Nick (the artist) said ‘Ah, yes, it’s reflecting the sky.’ Which I had not thought of, in fact, but makes so much sense.

Entire thing designed by me, done and hand shaded by Nick of Tattoo Crazy in March. I can’t recommend them enough.
