Tumblr Feature Suggestion
It would also be kind of cool if we could set an attribution name that’s different from our username. I’m not sure if I’d want to be attributed as owenj23, OWenJ, Brian or Attention Deficit Department, but it would be cool if I got to choose. And it would allow my internal debates regarding attributions of rod/toldorknown and bil/cubicle17 (among others) to be settled at the...

Now supports translation of Tumblr usernames into user defined strings. Requires editing of the script. If you’re comfortable editing it, you should be able to tell how.

Proposed New Rule
Just spent an hour getting a vegetable tray, partly because of the creepy dude that was arguing with the clerk, and then manager, about the interpretation of their sales circular. Like it’s the friggin’ Talmud.
Proposed New Rule: When a checkout conflict arises over any amount less than twenty dollars, the person or persons waiting in line shall be allowed to declare that they are...

from shadowfirebird:
Not exactly an original idea, this — it’s normally called a “blogroll”. Have a look at the right hand side of my tumblog.
No, the actual tumblog, not the dashboard.
(And Marco, if you wanted me to call it a “tumblelog” then perhaps you should have called your service “Tumbler”.)

Let me apologize in advance for the lack of links. This is being submitted via email. Suppose you enjoy following Bill Israel’s cubicle17.com (it could happen :-)). Since you know that Bill’s Tumblr user name is “cubicle17” and his tumblelog is at “cubicle17.com”, you can Google “cubicle17 -site: cubicle17.com” (without the quotes) and see all pages...

Ever forget you have iTunes running, start playing a web video, realize you’re muted, unmute, then think that the video has a really loud and thematically puzzling soundtrack?
Me neither.
Just wondering
How can the entire show be Extra?
Just an observation, not an editorial comment

I spent a good chunk of the holiday weekend discovering that it’ll take a lot more than a good chunk of a holiday weekend to squeeze the blood of web design from the turnip of my brain.
Many thanks to Bill Israel for this super spiffy Sunday Edition theme.

1. Write in tip amounts You can just put the total amount and completely ignore the top box. Do you really think they’re not going to figure out how much it is? If you have super messy writing you might want to write it in to make sure they understand the amount, but if you aren’t a 2nd grader, you’re probably fine.
But then, a sufficiently bright 2nd grader would be able to tell you that...

So Scott Adams is reducing the amount of time he’ll be spending blogging. It’s kinda hard to make out what his exact reasons are but I can’t help but get the impression that first, he’s a bit pissed at people for not buying his book and second he’s annoyed at people who’ve been reading his blog for the last 2...

The Romantics Can't Tell Themselves From A Cover
According to an article in USA Today: “by creating an imitation so much like the Romantics’ original, they said, the company has infringed the group’s right to its own image and likeness.”
You be the judge.
Anybody confused about which is which? Me neither.
