Assorted bullshit about video games, language, music, and some other unabashedly personal shit. And maybe some stuff that's kind of funny? I don't know. I just don't fucking know, alright? Would you give me a fucking break? Jesus, Mom.

You can also find me:

I also write Britishisms, a blog about moving to the US, and Tuneage, a music blog I co-founded. I curate Give Me Something to Read. I started Word Journal, and I occasionally contribute to The Small Picture.

"To All Y'all $999 Haters..." →

In the spirit of giving both sides of the argument a fair shot, here is Andrew Wilkinson’s response to my criticisms of Tumblize’s prices.

I understand that $1,000 is a hard pill to swallow, but we brought together a solid team of professional designers and XHTML/CSS developers and, after running the numbers, a $999 price point ensures everyone goes home happy. You will always be able to find people like Cameron and Bill that will do it for less - and do it well - but I think we’re catering to a totally different crowd.

I don’t need to go through this point by point, you guys are smart enough to come to your own conclusions. Nonetheless, I still stand by my initial criticisms.

I, for one, am putting this to bed now. We’ve all heard enough about it for one day.
