Tumblr Tuesday
Reblog This Film Festival was last night in Hollywood, and it got me thinking… Sure, I could be bummed that it’s sunny and beautiful in Los Angeles while I’m stuck in a rainy New York. But then I realized I don’t need to go to Hollywood, I can bring Hollywood to me.
Let us now imagine what each of these Tumblr blogs would be like if they were turned into movies!
Watch It Grow
In a world filled with weak facial hair, one man fights against dirty looks and accusations of being a molester for the glory of possessing the most epic mustache of all time. Life as we know it hangs in the balance. With explosions!Zombify
Terror. Dread. Cute zombies! A small, depressed town in rural America is overrun by the cutest and most adorable zombies that audiences have ever seen! The ignorant townspeople initially fight their invaders, but eventually learn to work with them to make a better world. With explosions!From Me To You
A mild-mannered NYC photographer and collector finds more than he bargained for in a creepy old antique store. He’s forced to fight for his life as a shadowy government agency hunts for the secret he unearthed. With explosions!Legos!
A young girl finds that the scenes she makes with her Lego building blocks turn into real life. She decides to use this power to help find her widowed dad a new wife, and learns along the way that you can’t force love and that pirates are awesome. With explosions!Tom Oatmeal
Tom writes steamy romance novels, but has never felt love himself. After a horse bites off Tom’s hand, he hires a quirky female assistant to help him meet his upcoming deadline. Through a series of hijinks, both learn that you just might find the love of your life when you least expect it. Sadly, these two hate each other with a passion and will both die alone. With toast!What? I like toast. Who do you nominate for next Tumblr Tuesday?
Reblog This Film Festival: Recap
Last week we had the honor of showcasing a few of the incredibly talented filmmakers on Tumblr. Spending the night with our esteemed film community in Hollywood was absolutely spectacular.
But even if you couldn’t make it, we’ve immortalized the event on tumblr.com/films. Go check out these unbelievable short films, print out a poster, and reblog your photos from the red carpet!
Tumblr Tuesday
Hey, Tumblr. David is out of the office this week, so we’re all acting a little bit crazy! One of us removed all the credit from a reblog, and somebody else went and posted the same funny picture twenty times in a row.
Yeah, we’re hardcore.
Lunch Bag Art
Every day, the best dad ever creates these awesome brown lunch bags for who can only be the luckiest children in the entire world. If the bags are this good, I can only imagine what kind of marvelous foods are packed inside.Homemade Polaroid
It’s rather amazing what just a few thick lines can communicate. Could they possibly tell us that we can find inspiration and beauty in everyday life? Certainly! (They also confirm that giraffes and balloons are highly underrated.)Put This On
I’m so glad that Jesse Thorn and Adam Lisagor produce a web series for men about dressing like a grownup. I mean… I have this friend… He wears nothing but stupid t-shirts. He could really use something like this. So, uh, I’ll pass it along.The Daily What
The Daily What delivers something interesting, funny, or cute with astonishing consistency. Following this Tumblr will easily fulfill 95% of all your random internet needs.Baubauhaus
This well-curated design and photography blog pulls together great content that you probably haven’t seen before. Add some art to your life.Who do you nominate for next Tumblr Tuesday?
Tumblr just broke into the Top 100!
Please welcome our new Director of Scaling and Sysops.
Watching the community grow so quickly over the past few months has been humbling and inspiring. It’s also presented huge new scaling challenges that have quickly become a full-time job.
So we’re psyched to be welcoming Andrew Terng to the team to make sure Tumblr is fast and stable while we get everyone in the world blogging. Andrew just moved back to NYC from California where he had been scaling Delicious at Yahoo for the past two years. Welcome, Andrew!
This is an amazing opportunity you guys have given us and we’re working hard to make sure your experience here only gets better. :)
Hey, what’s that? Some really neat new features will be showing up in this menu shortly!
