Less painful Tumblr reblogging on the iPhone
Reblogging on the iPhone is a big bag of pain.
The UI is completely and utterly horrible.
You can use Tumblr Gear but there’s no auto-correct for spelling, and there’s no way to use the queue or tags.
I found a way to do it less painfully. It’s still way more complicated than it should be (and I’ll demonstrate just how easy it could be).
Since it’s rather long...

frageelay asked: Hi, TJ. Someone mentioned that you'd written a post on changing your tumblr name and how to preserve old links, but when I searched for that post, the link didn't work and I haven't been able to locate it elsewhere. Can you please send a link to how to do this when you get a chance? No hurry. Thank you!
redcloud asked: Prefect.
morrowplanet asked: Hey man. Sounds like you are having a rough, rough, rough day. (Actually sounds like you're having a rough week). I just want to tell you that I love you, man, and I'm not alone in doing so. Your call on whether to post this or not, but either way: hang tough and stay true.
Time is relative
Just got off the phone with the son (well, one of them) of the 80 year old woman who died unexpectedly in her sleep last night.
We talked about how surprising it was, about how she hadn’t had any symptoms, that he didn’t know any details yet about when the service would be, etc.
The conversation felt long. And awkward. What do you say?
When I hung up the phone the display read...

For those who like geeky mixed in with my usual brand of sarcasm, a post on my more geekier Tumblr.
WatchSomeone posted this comment in reply to my TUAW post about Steve Jobs’ Thoughts on Flash:
Steve Jobs is Lame. HTML5 is not the greatest animation tool. It looks like a gif from 1995. sure maybe cleaner code, but Flash is used for so much more than just building a site. you blind bitches cant see that its all about $. Fuck you, the web isnt HTML5 yet. So until then its like going back to 1995...

p.s.
After I sent my reply to that xenophobic email, I setup a Gmail filter so that any replies to it will be automatically marked as read and deleted.
Because some days I’m up for nuanced discussion & debate, and some days are for throwing punches and screaming “fuck you and the stupid fucking horse you rode in on” and I’m all out of nuance.

2 a.m. — BrotherOfWifeOfTJ came home from work and broke the side mirror off my car through cunning use of the garage door. ($185 to repair, after $175 for the windshield last week)
10 a.m. — I received a mass email from a relative:
LET ME SEE IF I GOT THIS RIGHT.

Posting to Tumblr via email
So, as Amy found
out, there’s a bit
of a trick to posting to Tumblr via email, and it’s not always easy to
figure out how Tumblr will behave.
On the surface, it’s pretty simple: go to
http://www.tumblr.com/goodies and find your super-secret “post to
Tumblr via email” address.
Except that nothing is really that easy.
Your next step should be reading the post to ...

Help me out here. (Well, over there, actually.)
So I’ve had this pretty-much-neglected website that I just turned into a Tumblr and want to make into a pretty-active website. Many of you have commented in public or private about your appreciation for stuff that I’ve written about religion, even if you don’t agree with my perspective. Those comments mean the world to me.
I’m going to be working on...

janetisserlis asked: thanks for the post on restless christians. just (literally) blew the dust off my bible. didn't recall having ever seen the word alien - and sure enough, there's sojourner and stranger - but whatever the words are, appreciate very much your making the point that needs to be made, daily, it seems.
