Heard on:

Um.. $10-$15 more a month, still less than what I paid in Orlando for 8Mbps service. Worth it? Shyah.

So what had happened was, some time went by between blog entries, and then I felt out of sorts, all disjointed and stuff, so more time went by, and then I just felt silly, so I gave up. But between then and now, I've found myself, on occasion, gazing with jealousy upon tumblr-hosted tumblelogs. Today, when the urge to start my own became overwhelming, I thought that before I made yet another half-assed attempt to blog, I should see what's been going on with Vox over the past eight months.

Whoa. This place has changed a lot. There's a lot of cool new stuff here. The one thing I still like about Tumblr is its simplicity, both in form and in function. Tho' it, too, can serve as a hub to observe my updates on various social networks and web sites, it remains clean and uncluttered. I still find Vox cluttered and overwhelming. I can simplify my profile to remove some of the clutter, taking out the widgets I've added and Vox's own modules, but then I lose functionality. No good.

The single thing that makes Vox nearly as appealing as Tumblr (just for the solo microblogging experience, mind you) is the new Vox This bookmarklet, an absolutely fantastic new feature. Haven't tried it yet, looking forward to doing so. Solo microblogging experience aside, I'm diggin' groups on Vox, at least in theory. I'll have to see how they play out in reality. I just went and joined a bunch of 'em, so I'll see how it goes.

In other news, after nearly 5.5 years of living in Orlando, I'm finally - finally! - getting out of Florida. I'm moving back home to NY in two weeks!

If someone was visiting your town for the first time, what would be the one place you'd tell them they just had to go see. (17 May 2006)
