    I liked the animal drawings on his book covers.

    There's just something about that photo (shirt, tie, eyes) that reminds me of a high-school yearbook picture, the one they drag out after the person goes on a three-state killing spree or gets busted for running a kiddie porn ring.

    I'm sure David can really spruce up his closet with that kind of money.

    Um, when the alternatives are LiveJournal, Blogger, Squarespace, etc. or installing WordPress, Tumblr actually looks pretty damn good.


    However:


    1. Blogging is a ridiculous 2005 paradigm for publishing online, and will be the pet rock of its generation, even if people continue to publish online under another, equally stupid moniker.


    2. Tumblr seems to have a core usergroup of fuckface dilattantes.

    Meanwhile, I'll be over on Typo, drinking that stinky Japanese tea that makes your brain grow like The Hulk.

    I don't see things ending well for Karp. His self-satisfied d-bag face makes me think he is in for a tumble of a different sort. Child stardom being what it is and all.

    Will these sexy add-ons be anything like the ones I purchased for my Mr. Potato Head and have come to regret sorely?

    I don't think my tumblog has the capacity for any more sexiness. Just not possible.
