750 Words →
Discovered via austin, this is such an awesome idea. Just write. It’s like exercising your writing muscle. We’ll see if I keep writing, but getting to 750 took me 13 minutes. I waste more time than that day dreaming every day.
No, I’m not writing a book or a story or maybe anything I’ll want to look back on and muse over lovingly at any time in the future. That’s...

FINALLY. I finally cracked what SFTU means.
Anyone else notice how close it is to another well-known abbreviation?

A weighty situation.

I don’t know why, but talking to that lady really upset me. I wanted to yell at her, but when I got in my car to go home, I started crying instead. My mom said that while I was in there and she was asking me questions, I looked PISSED. And yeah, I fucking was, okay? Who is this lady to tell me that I’m incapable of being happy or healthy because I’m fat? I ride...

“I want a list of companies that no one has heard of.” —
This is a new business idea for stocknames.info. Come up with stock business names. Add DRM somehow. Sell them. Get rich.
iPhone pictures aren't rotated properly
featurerequests:
Ok Tumblr, this is really Apple’s fault for using the bloody EXIF tag to indicate rotation when (as far as I can tell) no one else in the known universe is using it, but…
…given that the iPhone is pretty popular and shows no signs of stopping, and given that Apple is entirely unlikely to change their use of this EXIF tag that no one else uses…
…and given that iPhone users...

On Doing It Right™
Tumblarity is gone, or at least for the time being, absent from the dashboard. I could have whipped up a tiny script to hide it, but I’d know it was still there. This odd little metric whose only purpose seemed to be to breed anxiety seems to finally be dead.
Its really strange how a tiny change can have such a huge psychological impact on a community. Suddenly, Tumblr just feels nicer,...

A Movie Idea
marcamos:
A 60 - 90 minute movie that starts with two tough guys fighting each other; 60 - 90 minutes later, one of them wins the fight.
You’ve seen the Crank series, right? Because this is essentially what it is, except Jason Statham is fighting with himself, his career, in addition to a bunch of bad guys.
Also this.

Destroying perfectly good retail merchandise
marco:
A lot of people are talking about this story, which condemns H&M and Wal-Mart for destroying unsold clothing rather than donating it to a charity or simply throwing it away unharmed to accommodate dumpster-divers.
This shouldn’t surprise anyone who has worked in a retail store.
Many stores have arrangements to return any unsold or outdated merchandise to their suppliers for...

I’d do business at any of these.
I live near and have been a patron of Bunghole Liquors. In fact, if anyone would like a “I got it in the Bunghole” t-shirt, let me know.

Too much
Resolution time. From some recent conversations about information overload, feeds & social networks, I’ve decided to start aggressively unsubscribing across the board. My rationale:
There simply isn’t enough time to consume all the things I’ve followed.
I’m no longer satisfied to sift through the noise to find the signal.
As a result, I’m missing out on...
