Me: I love my sister, we really do a good job of bumping up against each other.
Todd: Yeah.
Me: It's kind of like those little games, with the silver balls?
Todd: Yeah.
Me: And you rock them back and forth, trying to make the little silver balls go where they're supposed to go?
Todd: Yeah.
Me: And they bang into each other, but still manage to find their little holes?
Todd: I am so turned on right now.

D: It's not that kind.
I'm in love.
Next time I am in Portland I am definitely staying at the Ace Hotel, which apparently has records and record players in at least a few rooms (photo above) and may also be the hippest and most modern place to stay in America. According to their website (which is one of the best and more useable designs I’ve ever come across), they have a business lounge with 2 Macbooks for your use, free...
Question!
How do I stop “following” someone on Tumblr? — doree On the off chance this isn’t a rhetorical question…click on the upper right number on your dashboard, the people you’re following, and if you let your mouse hover over the icon of that person, you’ll see a little red x appear in the upper right corner of it. Just click on that, and poof! Gone.

I try not to blog about Julia but sometimes I can’t help it. I desperately want nothing to do with her, but she… — jakoblodwick The thing I love about him/her is that he/she will say things that you can’t/won’t. Must be nice to have a voice.

A couple of yokels using Tumblr attempt to persuade their readers why David shouldn’t be CEO of Tumblr, stooping as low as to say he’s “probably too busy jerking off to porn” to implement some random feature. Anthony explains, in terms that half-brains like themselves can understand, why catering to every loudmouth user isn’t really the best idea. And regarding...

Really truly sorry. →

quick Tumblr interview (thedeal.com) →
“Forty percent of our traffic comes from referrals. If we focus on the people who really love Tumblr—the artists, musicians and other creative people who are doing the most brilliant things with it—and we help them to take what they’re doing to the next level, then they will inspire and magnetize other people to Tumblr.” Why don’t more websites have that policy?...

Although I don’t think I’ll be trying this with my music collection anytime soon, it could be a great way to pare down RSS feeds, Twitter timelines, and podcasts. — cubicle17 This is great, as I am finding myself having to do the same thing.

Viral lessons
From The Observer’s digital media guy, re: this post: Fyi, Jakob Lodwick drove a lot of traffic, too. Fascinating. Ooh, UPDATE: Julia Allison linked, too, though it’s interesting that Jakob’s link drove way way more traffic – like a factor of ten higher… Oho. IT’S ON. — doree This is a no-brainer. Kudos to the man with the brain.
