Tumblr Pins: Back to the Drawing Board
Saw a little argument b/w Tumblr people Nedhepburn and minusmanhattan on Tumblr’s new pinning feature, which is one of their first few attempts to monetize.
Like Chase (minusmanhattan), I also work in marketing, but not, as some people might assume, in a “bah hah hah let’s suck money from the masses” kind of way. Like both of them, I am also obsessed with Tumblr and feel...

worried about merengue dog

musics that i like right now
i used to actively seek out good music by going to borders and listening to all the albums and torrenting the shit out of anything remotely interesting on my dad’s computer (sorry!). then i would read gorilla vs. bear and stuff in college. now i feel too busy to do these things so i mostly just get recommendations from graphic designers at work. nonetheless, these are 3 pretty solid...
