Thought for Food

You heard it here first, Tumblr! Breaking New York Fashion Week coverage of the Design deal of the century! Music History will never be the same again! Portraits! Tech! LOL!

This woman looks like she could be related to my dad’s family.

Let’s just go ahead and say she is.

They said nutritional yeast on popcorn tastes like cheese.

They lied.

My pics from the first tumblr meetup, Williamsburg, April 2008.

I made so many good friends that night: (Eric, Nick Gray, Soup, Bianca, Mark, Justin, Anthony.. dozens more so I’ll stop listing y’all.)

Thanks to everyone who’s contributed to tumblr for helping change my life.

Technically, it was the second meetup, but I’ll always reblog these images because they include me after my first night cooking at Whisk & Ladle (top right, in blue); a lot of my old college friends (who actually weren’t/aren’t on Tumblr; top image, middle group); and then a lot of friends I ended up making months, even years, later (Rachel, for one, top photo, brunette in black and grey). 

And then there’s the fact that Peter — the guy who this September will marry one of my best friends — is standing just a few feet away from those old friends I mentioned, people who are now like his family … but Peter and Andrea didn’t meet ‘til a little evening party at Lauren’s place some 6 months later (bottom left, big smile).

Which begs the question … where were you that night, Andrea? We could have moved this whole process up half a year.

And it also begs the question … just where would we be without Tumblr? Who would Andrea be with? And given the fact that I met M. through Cirino whom I met through Mark whom I met through Nick — who would I be with? 

And where would little Zoe be??

Andrea’s Maid of Honor really brought it with the finishing touches for today’s engagement party! Thanks Liz!

This just makes me so happy. Wish I could be there!

I remember meeting a lot of the people I came to know on Tumblr, in person, this night, I think March 13 in 2008. This was long before Tumblr was much of a thing outside of New York. I spent a lot more time on Tumblr back in those days.

It seems pretty likely that Tumblr, this weekend, is at a turning point. 

Tumblr as a product simply stop attempting to evolve over the last couple of years, perhaps by design. Despite that, growth has continued, it’s a massive success in terms of size and scale. It even managed to generate a few million dollars, but not likely enough to sustain itself as a business and I suspect there’s not much runway left to try.

Whatever happens, this place was something special for me, and continues to be for many others. I really enjoyed the time I spent here. 

All I can is add Peeps (and more Peeps), Peter’s shirt, and, to echo, Bite of Pythias, RIP Bout of Context.

Holy Ghost! “Dumb Disco Ideas” (by DFArecords)

Ok, I’ll bite.
