Mark your calendars, because it is on.
More details to come. And remember, submissions are due one week from today— Wednesday, October 21st at 5pm PST!
You guys! Look at these Tumblrs I found. They were just sitting there in the answers to last week’s Tumblr Tuesday. That reminds me: Did you know that I visit and read every single suggestion you folks make? It’s true. I also make surprise visits to each site over the course of several weeks and perform an intense series of interviews with the Tumblr user to be sure they meet my strict guidelines.
And now… Five totally random Tumblr blogs!
Linus in Hats
Internet, meet Linus. Linus is a cat that wears fake hats and other things. Actually, I have to be honest with you people: I think these pics are photoshopped. Still, you should check it out to see a cat dressed up as Freddy Krueger, if nothing else.
Urlesque on Tumblr
Urlesque is the hub for internet culture and trends, and their Tumblr blog is the drawing board where memes first take hold.
Little Finds for Halloween
Whoa, there’s only 17 days until Halloween? I need to get started on my costume. I’m going to go as my Tumblr Dashboard. I don’t have much time to practice my cat-shark-Scarlett Johansson-Gary Busey-Scarlett Johansson impression.
Proof …Math Is Beautiful!
Beautiful? Are you sure we’re talking about the same Math? The one with all the numbers and stuff? Yeah, the one I’m talking about has a great personality. Okay, moderately attractive, but that’s as far as I’ll go.
Internet Archaeology Blog
Wow. I had forgotten how junky the internet used to look. What was going on back then? My theory is that we were all so blown away with technological prowess that we didn’t even notice that everything looked horrible. Good times.
Now you! Who do you nominate for next Tumblr Tuesday?
Saturday, October 10th, 7pm
SmarterCities launched last week as a platform to submit your ideas for local change. It’s an enthusiastic and valuable idea, and it was a pleasure working with the smart folks at IBM to get this project on its feet.
It was fun using as many colors as I could think of. Can you find all 6,000?
Hey gang! How’s it going? Man, you guys wouldn’t believe some of the amazing things we’re working on over here at Tumblr HQ. There’s something magical around every corner. It’s pretty much exactly like Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory without the fruit-coated wallpaper (I’ve checked).
On the other hand, we do spontaneously break into song after sending disobedient children to their doom.
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls… The latest five picks for Tumblr Tuesday:
We love stop-motion
You’ll find the best stop-motion, timelapse, pixilation, and claymation videos on the web at this Tumblr blog. Videos are curated with a love for this timeless (see what I did there?) art, and submissions are encouraged.
Neighborhoodr
Neighborhoodr is a reader-generated blog network where anyone can quickly and easily post about what’s happening in their neighborhood. Focused exclusively on New York City for the moment, the network is made up of over 60 Tumblr blogs with each assigned to a specific neighborhood.
Funny or Die
Whoa, it’s the official Tumblr of Funny of Die! There’s lots of funny pictures and videos here that I’m sure you’ll love, and I’m not just saying that because they promised me a free t-shirt. (Look: I’m a sucker for free t-shirts.)
Let’s All Help Brett Davis Meet Jeff Goldblum
Brett Davis has a dream. You may not think it’s a very noble dream, but that’s because you’re not Brett Davis. If you were, you’d undoubtedly agree that the opportunity to meet the star of such films as The Fly and Jurassic Park is not only noble, it’s a moral imperative.
Awesome YouTube Comments
It’s my sincere hope, of course, that advanced alien civilizations never find out about this website. For if they do, the entire human race could be dismissed as nothing more than idiotic mouth breathers and forced into bondage by irate extraterrestrials. As much as I enjoy a good laugh, I can’t support gambling with the downfall of humanity like this.
Now it’s your turn! What are some other Tumblr blogs that you’d recommend?
October 2007: Ruben Fleischer joins Tumblr.
October 2009: Ruben Fleischer’s major motion picture directorial debut, Zombieland, finishes out the weekend as the highest grossing movie at the box office.
The man makes good decisions. Congrats, Ruben!

We launched Tumblr with a boilerplate Terms of Service that we never felt truly captured our company’s philosophy. We’re determined to be the best place for everyone in the world to share the things they love and create. In keeping up with that motto, we felt like it was time for a little update and clarification in our Terms of Service. Two key points:
We want Tumblr to be a place where creativity, originality, and sharing are embraced and we hope we’ve crafted a Terms of Service that makes everyone comfortable and happy. Like everything we launch, this is still a work in progress, and we’d love to hear your feedback. If you have any thoughts or questions, please don’t hesitate to let us know!
