Hank's Tumblr: Thoughts on the Yahoo! Thing

Hank's Tumblr: Thoughts on the Yahoo! Thing:

First, I love Tumblr and want to keep loving it. And yes, it is immediately terrifying to hear that Yahoo (which, from a lot of our perspectives, is a laughably backwards and culturally irrelevant company) is going to own Tumblr. I sympathize.

But there are a number of circumstances in which…

I want to believe.

German Smurfs, Gizblow the coked up Gremlin, Human Fire Extinguishers, Ben Affleck and is that Ryan Seacrest? No it’s a drowned albino who looks like Axl Rose.

I’m going to miss Bill Hader.

Just watched this. I’m crying.

I was waiting for this GIF set.

Gawker is crowd raising $200,000 to buy the video of Mayor Rob Ford smoking crack. IndieGogo shouldn’t have approved this, and you can click the above link to tell them so.

It’d be nice to not knowingly give $200,000 to criminals.

Fearing change.

So Yahoo is all set to buy Tumblr. 1.1 billion.

Honestly, I have no concept of what Yahoo has been up to. And I really have no idea how Tumblr has been monetized. (Can say I’ve even seen any thumb tacked posts lately. Is that still a thing?)

Good on you, Tumblr staff and investors. Should be a good pay day for you.

It will be sad if easy of use disappears. If things get buried under ads or whatever to make that 1.1 billion worth while. I don’t want to migrate… again. But I suppose that is the world we live in now.

Perhaps I am just in a bad mood this morning (and I am). Feeling all pessimistic and all that. I’ll feel better later.

And, hey, the big news out of Cannes is that the breakout star is a cat. That makes me feel good.

Yahoo has a tendency to buy things, invest no new money into them, leave them alone, and then either sell them or close them (Delicious, Upcoming.org). There’s also they’re handing of Flickr.

Apparently Tumblr has been looking for a buyer for a few months. It makes sense to do so. That’s what start ups do. And, honestly, after a couple weird decisions they’ve made lately (out of nowhere closing storyboard to cut costs, opening a new office the same week), maybe an influx of cash and the CEO moving on to a new project will help tumblr grow in the right directions.

I should also mention that I’ve been seeing ads and sponsors posts on the tumblr app, which I’m fine. That makes total sense and it’s pretty easy to tell that it’s an ad.

Yahoo?

Andrew Mason:

I managed over 12,000 people at Groupon, most under the age of 25. One thing that surprised me was that many would arrive at orientation with minimal understanding of basic business wisdom. ”Haven’t you read any business books? Good to Great? Winning? The One Minute Manager?” I’d ask. ”Business books? Not really our thing,” was the typical response. I came to realize that there was a real need to present business wisdom in a format that is more accessible to the younger generation.

It was with this in mind that I spent a week in LA earlier this month recording Hardly Workin’, a seven song album of motivational business music targeted at people newly entering the workforce. These songs will help young people understand some of the ideas that I’ve found to be a key part of becoming a productive and effective employee. I’m really happy with the results and look forward to sharing them as soon as I figure out how to load music onto iTunes, hopefully in the next few weeks.

Is this a joke or a real thing?

That last line REALLY makes me think this is a joke.

DUDE-DUDES! The truth will set you FREE!

Look. Here’s the deal: you’re not fooling anyone. We know you’re not Geek Girls. (Your unsightly stubble and Adam’s apples give you away.)

It’s okay. We understand. Being a Geek Girl is a pretty fabulous thing. We get it and love you for your aspiration. But the thing is, you’re not a Geek Girl… because you’re a dude.

So quit pretending and learn to love yourself for who you are.

Step one: Confess your status in handy t-shirt form.

Step two: Wear said t-shirt to a geek culture convention, comics or gaming shop (where we know you only go to meet girls, I mean, amirite?) and let the ladies love you for who you really are.

Step three: Revel in the knowledge that my commission on your purchase will be donated to the Girls Leadership Institute, so you’ve done not one but TWO good deeds.

The second one is X-Men inspired.

X-MEN INSPIRED.

I mean, geez, I can’t give ALL my money to We Love Fine. But they keep making me!

Yeah… bought one.

404ingit:

I did a segment on Monday where I did my best to answer questions. Someone asked about an animated GIF of the above video. I’m glad I tracked this down for two reasons:

1. The description let me know that this was Halloween… so some of this video now makes sense.

2. There’s a walk on role by another animal that wasn’t in the GIF.

This video still raises more questions than it answers.

Restored Faith in Humanity of the Day: Reddit Restores WWII Veteran’s Damaged Navy Photo

Back in April, at the request of his 87-year-old grandfather, Redditor stevieboy1984 turned to the /r/PicRequests subreddit to see if anyone could clean up a scanned JPEG image file of his grandfather’s World War II-era photo taken during his service in the Navy as a submarine sonar/radar operator. After a number of people offered their photoshop wizardries to help its restoration, stevieboy1984 showed his grandfather six variations before handing him a framed version of top commenter unhi’s submission. Here’s a video of the big reveal. Grab a box a tissues, manly tears are coming.

WATCH THE VIDEO. IT’S ONLY 5 MINUTES AND IT WILL MAKE YOU FEEL GOOD.
