Telemarketers.
So these telemarketers keep calling me. Two to three times a day. At first I ignored them, let it go to my voicemail, but now I’ve found a much better use of my day. Every time they call, I whisper secret messages into my phone. So far today I have used ‘free a golden whale’, ‘papa milks kitties’, and ‘an acorn yearns for yams’. I hope they are...

A Change Of Icons?
In the web promotions world, they say to not change your icon. It disrupts user recognition, alters what people think about you, other 3.0 jargon, but I loved my pornstache too much. Goodbye graffiti heads I drew, hello dirty version of me! I apologize if your recognition has been altered…

spaceships asked: Hey Kevin, thanks for your response to my post about the Red Cross. That's a great point that the immediate need is "the power and ability to quickly deliver aid on a grand scale" and I definitely agree with you. I was just annoyed that for most people, after they make their contribution to Red Cross, they'll feel that's really all they could have done. The Red Cross gets...

A Design Solution: Load More Posts
Earlier today, I ranted about my love/hate relationship with automagically loading more posts when viewing a feed on Tumblr, Facebook, etc; and the pain it brings of not reserving history or content using the ‘back’ button. Apparently, I was not alone in my woes.
Jason Long of The Strake offers an elegant, simple solution using Makage’s jQuery History plugin. In essence, jQuery...

New Design Problems: Load More Posts
I love the general trend towards HTML5, CSS3, jQuery, AJAX, etc. It’s great, it’s clean, and it’s better than ever. However, there are a few trends which rub me wrong. One of those is the ability to load more posts.
The Show More Post Feed.
Explanation.
In general, this is an awesome feature. Tumblr has it, Facebook has it, Slashdot has it. It provides an easy way to load...

Who Decided The Order of CMYK?
Why wasn’t it every MYCK or KCYM. Who was the authoritative pioneer that led the way for printer color acronyms?

elleusine asked: Just wanted to say that I really love your Tumblr theme (: I've held off making a really personal theme (most of mine are pretty generic-looking) because the ideas I have would take a great deal of time and effort, but you've inspired me to try my hand at it. I'm going to work on it as soon as school settles down (: Thanks! Sorry this isn't really a question ^^;;

Managing Followers: Part 2
So I’ve decided to go through the list of people following me, add the ones who are posting great content, and remove the ones who haven’t posted in a while. With 1300+ tumblogs to review, it’ll take me a long amount of time, but there is one thing I wanted to discuss.
I’ve run into the problem before where people get upset if I unfollow them. Please don’t be....
