Fixes to PhotoBoard theme... →
Had to make a few tweaks over the weekend… the large sized images weren’t getting large. Let me know if you spot any other issues at [my first and last name together] at gmail.com.
Thanks for using PhotoBoard!

This is a hard-hitting article on the Roman Polanski situation, and why it matters. It’s not for kids, but it makes some great points.

This is amazing. If you are being forced to use Internet Explorer (God help you), go install this right now. And then fire-up Windows Chat or whatever it’s called, and go tell your Windows friends to install this too.
New PhotoBoard is Coming
For those asking… a brand new version of the PhotoBoard theme—supporting all the post types and completely overhauled with some cool new stuff is coming very soon. My time has been short the last couple days otherwise it would be out right now. Quite a few people have asked, so I thought I’d at least let you know it’s coming very soon.
And it’s glorious. ;)

Great fix!!!
Thanks, David, et. al., for the “Save+Close” button. You just made my day a little nicer. ;-)
(I was going to write, “great idea David with the Command+Click, I never thought of that!…” but you beat me to it and made the oh-so-purdy Save+Close!)

Minor, loving, rant re: testing new custom Tumblr...
Designing a new theme in Tumblr, while AWESOME on so many levels, is incredibly difficult. See, the sample theme that you use in the “customize” interface doesn’t have all the available variables.

Thanks for the feedback, those of you who left answers. My thoughts are that these would be mounted separately — printed very large, and more thematic in nature as groups of 4 or 6 or whatever.

Slices
Trying this again…
Tinkering with an idea for an art project… “Slices.”
This is a bit of a rough sketch… these would be printed about 6 ft. tall, individually mounted…
(if you’re in the Tumblr dashboard you have to click the little blue icon…had to use a Flickr original to get around Tumblr’s image resizing issues.)

Tumblr's "The Wire" →
Is really very nice. Great job, you guys. It’s so much better than the old “Popular” page and resembles the original “Radar” page, except with more awesomeness. Kudos.

Is it super-corny/cheesy? Yes.
Does it remind me of some wacky/clever Prius or Coke commerciall? Absolutely. [CORRECTION: It IS in fact a Coke commercial, sorta. There are multiple versions. Read about it here.]
Can you watch it all the way through and NOT end up with a huge smile on your face? I dare you.
It’s just good old-fashioned fun here, kids. Enjoy.
