Goodbye Tumblr - New Linkblog Location

Message from Jason:

I don’t know how long Tumblr’s been truncating imported feeds, but I don’t appreciate it.  When I share an item, I want the entire item availible in my linkblog’s feed or on my linkblog’s web page.  So I’m not going to be using Tumblr any more.

You can continue to see all my shared items at my new (or “old” if you’ve been following me long enough) linkblog:
