I spend most of my day on the computer. Some of it is spent doing “work,” more of it is spent aimlessly trying to find something worthwhile. Every once in a while I stumble upon something that fits that description. Like Tumblr. With a little luck, I’ll manage to post some of the interesting ones here. Or not. No promises. I’ve tried blogging; I’ve tried several different CMSes. I’ve lost interest in them all. Sometimes it takes a few weeks, sometimes I hold out a bit longer. This is like my fourth re-invention of JasonBurks.com, and it will be my last. If it doesn’t work out, so be it. I’ve got to keep the domain name though. It is my name, after all. -JasonTumblr (3.0; @jasonburks)http://www.jasonburks.com/<a href="http://www.brothers-brick.com/2008/10/12/hms-hood-is-finished/">Ed Diment finishes HMS Hood — in 20-foot-long minifig scale!</a>: A 20 foot long LEGO ship.
