How Pixar treated a woman who made a YouTube video of herself crying at the Wall-E trailer:

This almost made me cry. Do you think if I made a video of me crying while reading this, they’d do something special for me?

(Not trying to sound sarcastic here.)

nikography:

STOP IE6 campaign: well, you’ve obviously got my support.

but i think if this site is serious about what it wants to do, there should be a more complete call to action- such as an alternate browser guide. most of the people using IE6 aren’t going to pay much mind to ‘go get another browser, here are some icons’.

via grahamgrafx + webmarc

Wouldn’t it be easier to avoid Javascript and just use conditional comments? Otherwise those people using IE6 without Javascript won’t be warned! The horror!

I think this whole “campaign” is kind of a farce, but this would be my suggestion:

Please update your browser to the most recent version (IE 7). —>

There is really nothing going through my head today but this movie. Do not try and engage me with discussion on anything but how awesome Pixar is and how much Wall-E is rocking my world.

Wow, um. Yeah. Agreed 100%. I don’t normally get excited about stuff like this, but I am stoked to see WALL·E!

Sheesh, what the fuck is with all this Jakob Lodwick hate? He has already been chased off Tumblr (and, apparently, other social networks) by people ragging on him. Doesn’t anybody have any respect for a guy?

At least he doesn’t have to read this shit, since he’s not following it any more. I hate to contribute to the deluge, but it seems like every other post on my dashboard is news about Mr. Lodwick followed by bashing him.

Real cool, Tumblr.

I just added a little fly-out menu to my sidebar that lists the tumblelogs I follow. Some of them are close friends, others feature a beautiful design or keep flooding the world with great content. So if you care, have a look and follow some of them yourself. Lots of great stuff out there!

Malte Müller’s is one of the smartest-looking tumblelogs I’ve seen, and the above, while a small detail, is executed to perfection.

Not quite. It doesn’t scroll properly. The left column doesn’t cause scroll at all.

Every time Matthew Buchanan’s (matthewb) posts come up on my dashboard, I think his Tumblr name is “Matt the WB.” Then I get confused.

The ‘Q’ key on my keyboard is slowly dying. This makes using VIm very, very difficult.

It is better than that time I had to write Java programs with a keyboard with a space bar that only worked 10% of the time.

This is one of the few songs that I’ll go back to and listen again if I miss any part of it. Scott Avett’s voice is pristine, and the lyrics are poignant. Can’t ask for much more. (Paranoia in B♭ Major by The Avett Brothers)
