Is tumblr now automatically sending my posts to...

Yep, it’s busted. I think what’s happening is, if the original post was sent to twitter and you reblog it, it gets sent to twitter even if you specify not to do so.
Another Postling demo post!
Hooray, it works! And a photo…

This is a silly headline. Tanning beds are as cancerous as mustard gas and arsenic. But Mustard gas and arsenic will mess you up in much worse ways before the cancer gets to you.
Another blog post for a demo!
Yay!
Hey! Another demo post
We’re launching tomorrow.
Here's a demo post
Yay!
I need to get back into taking photos every day.
Remember my food photos of the day? Stupid startup, getting in the way of things :)
Let’s fix this, shall we?

Of course, the counterargument to the CTO’s revelation, lobbied primarily by the helpdesk staff, was that many users are simply lazy, stupid, or lazy and stupid, and no amount of improvement could ever change that. Not that it mattered, though. The CTO was determined and set a new policy that all client issues were to have “problem/improvement” reports written about them, and...

Tips for first-time entrepreneurs
As a followup to yesterday’s startup reading list for new Internet startup entrepreneurs, here’s some advice:
Have a fantastic founding team. This means someone technical and someone who lives and breathes product / user experience / design. One or both (or somebody else) should be a domain expert. One or both (or somebody else) should be business savvy.

Well, there goes both the Yankees(Snell) & Red Sox(Wilson) Plan C’s for the trade deadline.
Breaking down this trade for the one Mariners fan I know in the world:
Seattle gets a solid starting shortstop and a back of the rotation guy. Not exactly the type of deal signifying that you should book tickets for an October parade in 2010.

I’m not one to frequently endorse others to participate in certain activities in their lives other than the occasional good read. What I may find fun & entertaining may seem absolutely dreadful to others. With that said, if you enjoy the game of baseball even one iota, listen to/watch a game with Vin Scully providing the soundtrack.
Seconded. Watching baseball in the company of...

Startup Reading List
My friend Chrissie is taking over a startup that Kyle and I had started in June but set aside because we got too busy, and she asked me to put together a reading list for first time entrepreneurs. So, here we go…

What a shame!
I think Marc Andreesen went and deleted his INCREDIBLE “pmarca guide to startups” series of blog posts. Really, those 8 posts were gold.

One of the main reasons I was so excited to move was the opportunity to get satellite. Oh, but that would be too fucking easy!
Turns out, we have a really fucking large tree (think 100+ years old) blocking the direction in which the dish would be receiving whatever satellite signals.

Last week I pointed to a thought experiment over at Marginal Revolution that asked “A freak solar event ‘sterilizes’ the half of the planet (people, animals, etc) facing the sun. What happens?”.
You’d never guess who picked up the ball: David Brooks in his New York Times editorial. I’m not sure I’m super keen on Brooks’ take, though: “If people knew that their nation, group and...
