Why not Tumblr?
Bijan Sabet gave me some link love today, and in his post asks that I consider Tumbr next time. I nearly chose Tumblr over Wordpress, and my my thinking lined up like this:
WORDPRESS
Pros: Complete layout control. Loads of third party plug-ins.
Cons: Technologically complex.
TUMBLR
Pros: Simple to use. Built to aggregate lifestream from the ground up.
Cons: Unstructured data + limited layout control = ugly.
I chose Pain In The Ass over Ugly. But hey, the first time I met Om, he said he loved MyBlogLog but wouldn’t use it because it was “too fucking ugly.”

[…] Dammit! I somehow broke access to my permalinks a few days ago when I changed to a more verbose naming structure. Apparently I had to muck about with my .htaccess file. Yeah, that’s intuitive. I’m starting to think Bijan has it right. […]
