Anyone else uninterested in owning their own company?

I see more and more on Forrst all these youngins that start up companies while still in middle school, and people who quit their jobs to work from their bedroom.

I love the web, but I’ve honestly never been interested in doing any sort of freelance or independent work whatsoever. I’ve only ever done web projects or work while being employed by someone, and have every intention of working for someone until I retire.

What’s your opinion on this? Anyone with me?

I give up.

I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to design myself a decent looking blog.

So, I’ve decided to do a couple things.

1. Redirect the home page of nessthehero.com to my Tumblr blog.
2. Completely eradicate my wordpress.
3. Use the theme I have set up right now, but modify it to my liking.

I plan on writing some neat code tidbits to spiff up my pages and show off my programming skills, but I cannot lie about myself by designing anything. I can’t design shit.

I tried to make a template for the longest time, and you can find evidence of that on Forrst and even a post or two back from this post! I just can’t visualize what I want, so for now, I’ve stopped designing and now I’m gonna start coding.

So, is there anything you think I should show off on nessthehero.com?

Beginning some work on my Tumblr theme. I designed this for wordpress so I will have to improvise for Tumblr.

Why I have moved from Posterous to Tumblr

Paul Boag recently moved from Posterous to Tumblr. This made me consider whether posterous was really worth it.

Recently, they’ve started this sort-of “egotistical” campaign where they take a blogging service and compare 2 features they share and 3 features they have that the others don’t. To me, it seems egotistical because they don’t compare the entire service as a whole, they just pick three things they know the other service doesn’t do, and tout that as an advantage.

Different strokes for different folks, I say. Plus, I find Tumblr to be prettier. It is a bit unfortunate that I can’t import the posterous blog to here, but honestly, I agree with Paul. It gives me a chance to change the direction of my personal blog, and to discuss things with people that interest me.

Also, I agree with John Mayer, who said a while back that Tumblr was better than twitter because it sparked full fledge conversation instead of tidbits. So now, if I ever have something more to say than 140 characters, I can hop to Tumblr. I still have a purpose for Twitter though. It is a great outlet for frustration and quick crowdsourcing.

So, hello Tumblr! Hope to be posting to you very frequently in the future.

Today I made a tumblr blog. Seeing how it compares to Posterous in terms of posting everywhere else.
