The Stone Age didn’t end for lack of stone, and the oil age will end long before the world runs out of oil.
There are lots of beautiful Tumblr themes out there. Many are available when you sign up for Tumblr.
But Tumblr gives complete control & customization options as well. That’s why there is such a huge range of themes. There are more free themes out there too. Just do a google search and you’ll find them.
Lots of folks want their own unique theme but don’t have the time or the expertise to design their own.
I wanted my own unique theme too. And Bill Israel was nice enough to help me out.
And now there are more choices out there as well. The talented folks at Tumblize are now offering beautiful looking, low cost, custom Thumblr themes. Andrew Wilkinson, founder of Tumblize, emailed me this morning and told me they are open for business now.
Very cool.
$999? What a deal!

We hope Kindle and its successors may gradually and incrementally move us over years into a world with longer spans of attention, providing a counterbalance to the recent proliferation of info-snacking tools. I realize my tone here tends toward the missionary, and I can assure you it’s heartfelt.

(via marco) (via somethingchanged)So even though you’re Frank Bruni and all, do you ever have trouble getting a table? Where was the last place you couldn’t get a reservation?
Many places. I’ve been dependent on the strenuous computer efforts of friends to get into Momofuku Ko. I wanted to go to Elettaria the other night; the restaurant had nothing after 6:15, and I couldn’t eat that early that night. I don’t use my name for reservations or announce myself on the phone. I go through the same reservation process anyone does.

Diddy Riese ice cream cookie sandwiches. At $1.25, they are hands down the best deal in Los Angeles.uhm, wow.
I don’t want to sell anything, buy anything, or process anything as a career. I don’t want to sell anything bought or processed, or buy anything sold or processed, or process anything sold, bought, or processed, or repair anything sold, bought, or processed. You know, as a career, I don’t want to do that.

I just teared up a little bit. And look, cheeta print. It’s perfect for me as a CIT (cougar in training). If Nike can give us these, why can’t we get some Marty McFly’s???
i thought scarlett johannson looked very kinderwhore last night. even perez liked it.

Is this some kind of joke. $999 for a tumblr theme?! Just because you left off a digit doesn’t make it that less close to 1k. I hope you’re giving 50% of that raping price to David Karp.
I’m sorry, Tumblr Designy People, you make beautiful themes and I’m happy that you’re able to turn it into a business, but I have to agree with mascarah. You’re not helping the fact that Tumblr is getting an unfortunate reputation as a hub for whiny “creatives” whose trust funds are paying for their Williamsburg lofts. And the term “design collective” makes me want to barf.
It should be content that matters, not the way in which it’s presented. Oh, excuse me, I should have said “curated.”
It’s a problem that afflicts web design in general… business owners like pretty sites, but you can pick out the dumb ones rather quickly because the sites are far more “pretty” than “useful”. Unfortunately, this has an effect of making all of my web design clients recommend trendwhore graphics (various types of vector art madness) as the look and feel that they want for their new sites.
There is certainly a reasonable price for an individual to spend on customization services for their Tumblr, in the interest of maintaining a personal brand, but that price is far below $999. If your personal graphics scheme is THAT complex, you should probably see a shrink to talk about your NPD.
as a web designer, i’ve found that one size does not fit all. i do not obviously charge all my clients the same price. i base it on what they can spend and how much work is involved. if it doesn’t make sense for me or the client, i send them to people i think might be able to work with them.

Interpol - Rest My Chemistry
Directed by Blip Boutique and programmed by Aaron Koblin, this video uses a visualizer to trace life from two cells all the way out into space. A heavy video for sure.
Interpol may be a band I typically associate with winter, but this video is not to be missed regardless of the season.
my favorite song from our love to admire.
Flight or Invisibility? What do you choose?
Flight. Because Invisibility seems like a sneaky power, and I would rather use my superpowers for good, than evil.
However, on second thought Invisability could be quite powerful, and I guess if you were disciplined enough not to misuse it, it could be far more powerful than Flight. You could pretty much do anything if you were Invisable.
I’m probably just hate-following you.

The funny thing is, I hate-follow Alex Blagg, but I kind of dig him coining the term.
Mmm. Park Napping.
I DREAM about napping in parks. In fact just yesterday, my child was sitting on my back while I lay out on the grass basking in the sunshine, and I turned and said to my friend, “Would it be OK to just strap her to my back while I snooze for half hour, or would that be considered child cruelty, seeing as its sunny and all”
Both concluded, that it was perfectly acceptable if the sun cream is slapped on heavily.
Holy shit! Did I just lay down and nap in the park for an hour? That was fucking AWESOME!
i did it the other day. i think it actually makes the second half of my day a hell of a lot more productive. of course, the europeans already know this. the united states needs to evolve from a business culture point of view.
That’s a little creepy.Okay, okay, I’ll come clean. That was my group. There’s about a dozen of us guys in there who are too shy to email tumblcrush who instead must resort to flirting with our crushes through private reblogs. Despite what you may think, we feel perfectly well-adjusted in just about every other aspect of our lives. Our moms say so, anyway.
Seriously, I do hope the mystique of Private Group Reblogging never goes away. Even as creepy as it sometimes is.
thats not flirting, thats stalking.
Don’t You Evah (Ted Leo’s I Want It Hotter Remix) by Spoon
don-t-you-evah-ted-leo-s-i-want-it-hotter-remix-by-spoon.mp3I have posted this spoon song before…but I really like this slowed down remix.
(via Grabb.it)
love spoon, love this song, love the remix.
Looks amazing but I wonder how it will really look. These rendering always seem to be far more compelling than the final product.
Says former NBC News anchor Tom Brokaw: “Jon Stewart and I have talked about this a lot, and it troubles him a lot because he is a very serious consumer of news. I keep reassuring him, because I don’t think he really needs to be reassured, that what he is doing is important…

Any of the tumblr ladies want to be knocked up so I have something to talk to these people about?HEY! I’m still waiting on my response about these kickball leagues? Is this payback for not responding about Hoboken months back!
I posted a response here! Zog Sports is the league, ask Peter about the NY leagues, he’s involved too. I think signups for a Brooklyn summer league will be starting soon. And to show you I remember you asking about it: tell Randy to stop being a wuss, it’s fun.
And to keep this on topic: sorry, I will not knock you up.
i was a walk on for happycap’s team, “The Motorboaters” tonight. they play right behind my apartment which is ridiculously convienient.
the funniest part was when they asked how we knew each other and we totally lied and said we’ve known each other for years. explaining how you know each other through your ‘tumblrs’ just seemed like too much work.
