Moving to Tumblr

I don't like Google anymore.  Well... that's not really true...  Most of their stuff is pretty awesome and I use just about all of it...  Name a service and I probably use it...  But the problem is that all my eggs are in one Google basket and the problem is that I don't like the way they do business.  I don't like being the product they sell to their advertisers. I don't like the fact that all their services just drive more information into their profile about me. They know way too much about me and it's my own damn fault.

So I've decided that I'm going to migrate some things away from Google.  I'll use Twitter and Facebook rather than Google+.  I'll use iCloud mail and calendar services rather than GMail and (G)Calendar.  Flickr rather than Picasa, iPhone rather than Android.  And starting today I'm going to use Tumblr instead of Blogger.  But Google search is way better than Bing (IMHO) so for now Google Search, you're safe.

Now I haven't posted much in the last year and a half so it's not a big deal anyway but I feel better about it.  If you want to still follow me I'm at http://omegalisk.tumblr.com/
