Tumblarity is gone. Thanks Tumblr.
Last August I complained about Tumblarity and I wasn’t alone. Many people didn’t like how Tumblarity motivated the Tumblr community to post and repost drivel and I’m very happy to see that the Tumblr team has, as far as I can tell from my desk, decided to do away with it. But I also said [...]
These are a few of my favorite things
I have different reasons for saving favorites on each service that I use. I figured I’d take some time to explain the reasons by listing out the services on which I save favorites and why. Also of note is that these reasons happened naturally and were not the result of me trying to think of [...]

Back that thing up.
This is just wonderful. Marco Arment has recently released a back up application for Tumblr that is currently only available for Mac OS X. This back up application takes a fairly unique approach among blogging platforms in that it backs up your Tumblog using raw files to your hard disk. It saves HTML files [...]
The best of 2009 as told by me
In November 2008 I put forth a list of things I thought were the best Web sites, applications, and various other things that I came across in 2008. I said “They are simply works that I feel should be awarded with the recognition of being the best that I’ve personally found this year.” I’m doing [...]

Tumblr’s Twitter API
Hot on the heels of Wordpress’ Twitter API Tumblr has announced their own Twitter-like API for reading and writing to Tumblogs.
I love that they came right out and said that they were inspired by Wordpress’ move.
My question on IAmInLikeWithMyBike
I wanted to know what type of bike I should be saving for this coming spring. I fired off an email to the editor of I Am In Like With My Bike on Tumblr and they posted it to their Tumblog (mistypings and all). Nice.
Update: Now I’m finding myself wishing they answered the question. Tumblr [...]
Almost all of Tumblr is down?
Nothing is stated on their Twitter account. Their staff blog is silent (yet not down). Of course, neither is Marco Arment’s Tumblog (he’s a staff member). And yet my dashboard is down, my Tumblog is down, and so are many others.
The message appears to suggest that they know about this downtime. But I don’t think [...]
Tag channels by Tumblr
I think this is a genius feature. Tag channels by Tumblr combines a normal tag search with a slider to filter your results based on the number of times something was “liked”.
Tumblr is moving faster than anyone in their space and still managing to put out high-quality features.
Reblog from Google Reader
The Google Reader team has added Tumblr to its new “Send to:” list. Nice.
Tumblr week
I’ll be spending the rest of this week over on my Tumblr. I really need to give it a thorough run if I will ever know if Tumblr can replace my Wordpress powered blog. Join me, won’t you?
Safari + Glims = broken keyboard shortcuts
Keyboard shortcuts, both for the browser itself and for Web sites that take advantage of them, can be extremely powerful. Google Reader set the precedent for keyboard shortcuts by working through a stream of information using J to advance and K to move backward through the stream. The Big Picture, Ffffound, and now Tumblr’s Dashboard [...]

For those that may have missed it, or for those of you that use Tumblr on a regular basis and wish to see this site’s posts show up in your Tumblr Dashboard – You can follow me on Tumblr. I’ve made some adjustments over there recently and I like the results.
As a side note: After [...]
Tumblr Dashboard permalinks…
After playing around with Tumblr for months (I’m cdevroe over there), I finally noticed that the little “page curls” that happen on-hover on posts on my Dashboard from those whom I follow are actually the permalinks to those posts. Man do I wish I found that sooner! I can’t tell you how many times I’ve [...]
MarsEdit 2.3 is out and supports Tumblr
You may have seen me quip about MarsEdit the other day on Twitter. Really, though, it is an excellent piece of software that should be given a go by anyone that writes a lot.
I’m spoiled by a rich-editor in Wordpress, that saves drafts automatically and even has multiple revisions, and so I’m sticking with Wordpress [...]
