The lesson of the Sidekick failure
You aren’t in control of your data if you can’t easily and frequently make useful backups onto your own computer and your own media.
I recognize that it’s hypocritical for me to say this as the lead developer of Tumblr, which does not yet offer an automated feature for users to download backups of their blog content. So I took some time this week and started to write one. I’m happy to announce that Tumblr will be releasing an easy backup tool in the coming weeks.
I completely agree with sneak, great to see Tumlr proactively putting some of the safety of user’ data into their own hands.

VIDEOGIOCO, a ‘prebuilt’ and lovely stop-motion animation from Donato Sansone.
Trailer for Battle for Hearts and Minds, an upcoming documentary from Danfung Dennis shot on a 5D Mark II. DSLR News Shooter has a great article Danfung’s rig and shooting technique.

A floating house from Kraus-Schoenberg Architects. Love the raw concrete and sunken floor. Gorgeous.
I must say I’m truly amazed by this appalling display of ignorance displayed by Magda Szubanski, Julia Morris & Channel 10…
Don’t get me wrong - I can have a laugh at myself, and I don’t care one iota about the ‘jokes’ made at cyclists expense regarding ‘tip-tap shoes’, or whatever fucking crap… To be honest these are pretty stock-standard, tired, old lines. It’s kinda sad that these ‘comedians’ couldn’t come up with anything better than that…
No. The issue I have is with the hateful vomit being spewed out by these two morons in advocating dangerous driving, and more to the point is actually encouraging people to be physically violent towards cyclists.
Way to dispel the myth that women can’t be funny. It’s bad enough to say such things in private; totally unacceptable for prime-time television.

Sketch for a space that never was. I feel a little like I’ve lost a a baby.
Same. Fuck it. I command something new and better to appear soon.
