A new Tumblr that all creative professionals can relate to: A collection of the stupid things the stupid clients have said. It's like Postcards From Yo Momma, but replace the cuteness with crazy-making.
Culture Buzz The world of “creative” “professionals” was briefly rocked last night when Justin Johnson proposed to Marissa Nystrom with a video posted on the Tumblr dashboard (for all users to see).
Facebook Animations is a new single serving site that takes consecutive photos from people's Facebook profiles, and animates them. It's such a simple premise, but produces such amazing results.
A single-serving blog featuring gifs of just three frames from a film. Word of advice to the creators: you might also want to buy seizureparty.com, too. Or at least put up a disclaimer.

This guy keeps track of all his girlfriend's pithy witticisms. For instance, on the topic of Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake: “When they have sex it must look like a spider-monkey trying to hump a rhino.”

An experiment exploring what Star Wars would be like had it been written by Diablo Cody, the screenwriter responsible for Juno and Jennifer's Body.
Three Frames is a website that takes 3 frames from a movie and loops them. Why? Who knows? (via Geekologie)

Single serving site of the day. You know, just because you are a new parent doesn't entitle you to do and say inappropriate stuff on facebook.
Since I'm recently all about the creepy, why not continue my streak. Today's venture, Crappy Taxidermy, teaches you to properly bury your animals in your backyard and leave well enough alone.
Today's Tumblr-freude: A series of photos that underscore the importance of smiling. Shiny happy people. Holding hands.
A Tumblr blog dedicated to people with a cookie on their shoulder. Damn that out-of-reach cookie and its close proximity to my mouth!

Why not, right? “Becuz bath time is boring”, “becuz the empire waist is back”, “becuz Juno is your favorite movie evr” Duh.
Culture Buzz Here is a system, courtesy of Tumblr Liana, to devise an exotic name worthy of an NPR show (like Nina Totenberg or Renita Jablonski). Add your middle initial to your first name, then tack on the smallest foreign town you have ever visited. I am Amandak St. Milo, and I will be hosting a variety show/Tim Riggins Appreciation hour. Tune in tomorrow at 5.
A blog dedicated to collecting the nerdiest, dorkiest, geekiest picture that appeared in your yearbook (or maybe shouldn't have.) Former AV Club members rejoice! You're among friends.
A new internet service that gets straight to the point, by letting you speak with a stranger. Isn't that essentially what the web is for? Say hi! And if you're asked for your A/S/L, tell a parent.

Rejected country music demos: a wonderful new Tumblr. It turns out, “Walkin' After Midnight” sounds extra-awesome with a little help from Auto-Tune.
Veronica Belmont starts a new mini-blog: The Vintage Web. Click the image for more classic web sites. God I miss scrolling frames.
Tech Buzz Much like Facebook changing their TOS (though for very, very different reasons), Tumblr has launched a mini-controversy after suspending five users due to recent changes in their community policy. The five removed accounts were each devoted to reblogging and mocking other people's posts. Should users who regularly abuse/harass/mock other users be allowed to stay in the community or banned? Or is it exactly the plethora of voices that makes a community strong and vibrant?
If you're one of those people who think that dinosaurs and robots should get together more often, Dinosaurs Fucking Robots is the perfect Tumblelog for you.
Perfect for your next Tumblr meetup. Or your Tumblog-cum-stickerbook. Has no one started that yet?
