Hey Tumblr friends

This blog is moving (again).

I’m switching from Tumblr to Jekyll.

From now on you can find me at blog.similarselection.org.

If you’re following from the dashboard, this is the last post you’ll see. If you’re following via the site feed, everything will switch over auto-magicly.

See you there!

I know some people who have online persona’s that are dead boring.

The thing is that I love spending time with them in person.

I am grateful for the good people I’ve been spending time with lately.

(This is a handful of them.)

Me too.
