Today on my birthday I have decided to kill something! Yes that's right I said kill. What I have killed should have been put out of it's misery a long time ago. I have killed my design blog Rebel Base for the last time. It has been sputtering for quite some time and although I get around 100 visits or so a day I just have not felt compelled to write purely about design anymore. I will keep the domain as tribute to my childhood love of Star Wars. But from now on the domain will now point here to Powershifter. 

Thanks to all of you who read the blog.

Well there was a bit of an outcry on the whole 'killing of Rebel Base" over the weekend. I think I may have come up with a solution...The site has been converted to an easy to manage tumblr page. Tumblr for those who don't know is an easy to use microblogging service that is somewhere between a full blown blog like Wordpress and a microblogging site such as Twitter.

I like Tumblr because of the very quick blogging feature that you can use in the toolbar of your browser. Essentially it's a button that you click when the content on the page you are browsing fits the content on your tumblr page and is worthy of blogging about. 

The biggest difference is that the commentary is limited and as of right now there is no commenting allowed. Commenting is a feature that would make it the perfect blogging software for a guy like me that has such a limited attention span. 

 So long live the Rebel Base.
