Just because Lucky isn’t coming doesn’t mean we won’t think of him…
I have not tried to see if this will work on the iPhone. I’ve tried it, and it works.
Fission tells me it needs to be 40 seconds or less, but AT&T voicemail seems to pickup after about 30 seconds. FWIW.
By request from Wife #2, I have made a ringtone version.
Drag it into iTunes and it should be recognized as a ringtone. Sync your iPhone. Be sure that your iPhone is set to sync ringtones.
Non-iPhone users: I can’t help your sorry excuse for a phone.
Made with Fission. Because Macs rule and PCs drool.
I’ll probably make a dance version ringtone later.
Suddenly I’m in the mood for a cuban…

Life is hard enough without being bitchy about a bunch of adults being goofy together.
If you want to correct the grammar of strangers, call people names for being happy, or bitch every time you think something isn’t funny, maybe you should STFU.
How’s that for original?
I think what Monkeyfrog is trying to say, is: eat a bag of dicks, you shitburgling cockbuckets.
Look, I’m bored, OK?
This has a beauty, grace, and charm which is what sets it apart from the vulgar Americanism “Hobo Vagina.”
I can only hope one day we have a mastery of the language like our cousins across the pond.
Dan Wineman (below), on all of the things that Tumblr got wrong with the iPhone app (Hint: just about everything). More from me after the break:
Yes, reblogging is still as broken as it used to be, if not more so: there now seems to be no way to cancel a reblog without quitting the app. The Cancel button is inexplicably missing, there’s no Back button anywhere in the interface, and clicking on the Tumblr logo opens the desktop Dashboard in a pop-up.
As far as I can tell, all the things that were awful about the 1.0 Tumblr app are still awful in the 1.1 Tumblr app, except that now it doesn’t reload your dashboard at page one every time you breathe on it. So that’s nice, at least.
But by far the worst misfeature is the way it displays photo posts. The iPhone OS provides a perfect solution: the two-finger pinch/stretch gesture, which dynamically zooms in and out of images; plus, you can double-tap to make any image instantly resize to fit the screen. It’s precisely this feature that makes web browsing on an iPhone more comfortable than on any other mobile device.
Yet the iPhone Dashboard intentionally disables this great feature, instead providing just two choices of image size: thumbnail (way way too small) and 100% (way way too big, so you have to pan around to see the whole image). In other words, the OS has a fit-to-screen feature built in, and Tumblr’s developers actually wrote extra code to disable it. What a tragic, boneheaded mistake. The workaround used to be turning off the iPhone Dashboard, but that option’s gone now.
(Tumblr actually isn’t alone in making this mistake. The iPhone version of Flickr Mobile does the same stupid thing, but at least Flickr provides an app that’s actually usable.)
I say this with love: it’s time for Tumblr to grow up. Fix the bugs. Hire usability experts. Build a rich API and test, test, test. Get your stuff working so well—make your user experience so utterly painless—that you can do silly things like Sharks vs. Cats and Dashboard marriage proposals from time to time without looking like college kids drunk on venture capital.

But hey! Video uploads! Because everyone watches those, and few people ever want to look at pictures which are posted on Tumblr.
Yeah, TypePad Micro looks like a knock-off of Tumblr, but you know what? I’m betting that in 6 months, TypePad is doing this stuff better than Tumblr.
Remember, Twitter wasn’t first either.

As John Gruber mentioned: “Notice anything about most of the laptops?”
With the likelihood of Christmas being tight for everyone this year, I thought I would pass this on.

(Obviously the homeowner isn’t on Tumblr or it would have said “THIS” with an arrow pointing to it :-)
Tumblr 1.1 for the iPhone is out. App Store Link
Reblogging is still a big bag of hurt. In case you thought that might have been important enough to get working on the iPhone.
It does other things. apparently.

Dear Ladyfolk:
I have learned a lot about what women go through from being friends with them, both on- and off-line, so I thought I’d give you a little insight into what it’s like to be a guy.
BOOM! That’s all it takes.
Usually steps 1 and 2 are completely optional. There’s just no telling when boobs are going to pop into your brain when you’re a (hetero) guy.
We don’t try to be like this. We just are.
