My favorite personalities stopped speaking to each other and started speaking to a faceless mass…the concept of an audience replaced the faces in the community….twitter became a microphone instead of a public walkytalky…

I’m extremely happy to finally link to this video our boy Shawn Brown made over the past couple years. It looks best if you play it full screen and turn the sound up.

It sounds subtle, but these are the only days where I find myself getting anything done. I either start my day like this and feel normal and productive, or I look up and realize it’s early evening, I haven’t accomplished anything and I can’t bring myself to focus no matter how hard I want to.

And this community wasn’t imported from another network like a facebook’s graph. It was built purposefully for the Tumblr experience.
This answers the One Network To Rule Them All question for me. I’ve always said that I like keeping my “graphs” separated (SoundCloud, Instagram Tumblr, Twitter, Foursquare, etc) and for that reason I find myself participating in a variety of other networks, ten times more than I do on Facebook.
Tumblr has enabled me build my own personal community. I’ve found more value in seeing strangers become friends rather than adding people I last saw 15 years ago in school as friends.

Loving the concept of the Delancey Street Project, the Low Line.

this would be RAD.
I wonder who in the neighborhood owns the most property that would benefit from making this a reality.

I’m very excited to announce that we’ve officially launched Sherpaa.
Who it’s for: Currently it’s for tumblr’s employees. In the near future, we’ll be signing up other NYC-based companies.
Why: When you’re sick or hurt, figuring out exactly who and what you need and when you need it is difficult. You need an accessible, friendly doctor you can call and email 24/7 who will either solve the problem right then and there or guide you to the highest quality, health professionals with the best personalities who will provide exactly the care you need.
Our wonderful friends at tumblr are our first clients. And that means that all of tumblr’s employees can now email or call our doctors (or Guides as we call them) 24/7 when they have a health concern or question. Our Guides are well connected, in-the-know local doctors. Sometimes they can solve everything for you right away, and other times they’ll collaborate with other New York City specialists to arrange the most appropriate care for you. They make your health simple. And that’s our mission.
We’re starting slow. We’re focusing on working exclusively with tumblr for a while and will soon be signing up other NYC-based companies. If you’re interested in joining Sherpaa, please do let us know.
I’ve been quite busy for the past few months getting Sherpaa started. This is the next big phase of my life. And I’m super proud of it. It’s a service designed and built by us at The Future Well. We’re doing wonderful things and I’m a happy, happy guy.
Really proud of Jay and kinda jealous the Tumblr crew gets to use his new service.

Say you’re going to change the world, say you’re going to disrupt an entire industry but don’t say you’re going to be a billion dollar company. Starting with that as your stated goal, chances are you never will be.

Taylor Swift in Vogue. every somewhat-serious article i read about taylor swift starts with the reporter assuming she’ll be daft — and ends, basically, with the reporter concluding she might be smarter than the rest of us. (via cacioppo)

jesseddy:
The easiest to use journal / diary / text logging application for the Mac is also the best looking. Day One is well designed and extremely focused to encourage you to write more through quick Menu Bar entry, a Reminder system and inspirational messages. Support for Dropbox sync allows easy backup and syncing with the Day One iPhone application.

Modern life is plagued by what’s been called “time famine”—the sense that we have way too much to do and way too little time to do it. Scientists were wondering if there might be a way to shift this common misperception of time—and counter these damaging consequences. The fact is, most of us do have enough time, but it’s maddeningly difficult to keep perspective on this. These scientists suspected that stopping time—somehow keeping people in the moment—might alter overall perceptions of time scarcity. And how do we go about stopping or expanding time? With jaw-dropping, awe-inspiring experiences.
(Scientists found)…those who felt they had more available time were less impatient; they were more willing to volunteer their time to help others; and they were less materialistic, preferring new experiences like a Broadway show over new goods, like a watch. Overall, the awe-inspired volunteers were much more satisfied with their lives.

Not sure why the source isnt displayed but I love the simple explanation that helps educate people, who are intimidated by numbers and concepts they assume are too complex to understand.
