This is pretty funny.

Tips on making your home a little more interesting…

Great.

Some fun GIFs there.

Just wanted to keep the old Tumblr active.

Amusing that Yahoo put their own email into the spam folder.

(Note: my wife uses Yahoo mail, and I use Gmail.)

Ya gotta keep all the internets happy. So I’m writing this here today…

Hi Tumblr.

1. Start requiring all guns to have a fingerprint lock, so kids can’t use their parents’ guns.

2. Have all new weapons embedded with microchips that cause an alarm to go off at the entrance to every public indoor building.

Caveat: This would not prevent deaths caused by old weapons - but it would help stop some unnecessary deaths. And yes, clever killers could work their way around the systems, but there are many killers who are not very smart.

Fancy always has interesting stuff. If you haven’t been there, check them out!

These officially licensed Portal Bookends not only feature test subjects going through orange and blue portals, they also really, actually, pretty much keep your books in order! The left side features half of a test subject going through an orange portal, while the right side features the other half of the test subject coming out the blue portal. These bookends make great conversation starters.

The iPhone 5C is all about color. The video has an awesome shot of the color combinations you can get with the optional soft case, at about 2:45.

The iPhone 5S is all about fingerprints and a better camera. Apple’s video page has two videos - one featuring the fingerprint recognition security system and one featuring the new camera. More frames per second allow slow motion video, and the flash provides shots with more natural color.
