tj:
Well folks, it’s like this:
We’ve had several different people express interest in the dog shown above, but none of them have worked out, so we finally decided that there was nothing else to do but keep her.
We put it to a family vote and the decision came up 4-0. WifeOfTj tried to pretend like she was a hold-out, but unfortunately for her the rest of us saw it for the completely full of shit act that it was.
(The Beagle also put her vote in, they’ve been playing together for some time now and seem to get along fine, which was the ultimate deciding factor to even consider keeping her.)
Now all that remains is her name.
We are split 2-2 between “Fluffy” and “Maggie” so we are putting it to an Internet vote.
Some possibly-helpful or possibly irrelvant information:
She currently ignores both names equally when we call her, possibly because we keep using both.
The Beagle’s name is Sophie.
Voting will be open until midnight tonight (March 12th, Eastern Time).
The only way to vote is by answering this Tumblr post.
Put the name that you don’t think that we should use in the answer box.
What name do you vote against?
Well, folks, the results are in, and there are an abundance of votes for “Maggie”, which, as the rules above clearly state: means that her name is “Fluffy”.

Testing as an experiment: having my Twitter feed imported into my Tumblr dashboard.
This feature has been around for awhile but I’ve always ignored it. I’m not sure what “following a small number of Twitter users” translates to in real numbers, or what the problem are (other than flooding your dashboard?).
What are the advantages?
You can reblog a post from Twitter into Tumblr by clicking the Reblog button. Tumblr will make it into a Quote post with the URL to the original in the source, with the original poster’s name as the link. If you click the “As…” next to “Reblog Quote” it will let you reblog it as Text, in which case it will be a blockquote with their name and URL properly linked as well.
Can ★ back to Twitter right from your Tumblr dashboard.
Click the arrow (between “Reblog” and “★”) and it will give you a place to reply to someone, right from your dashboard.
Enables your Twitter stream to be found at http://www.tumblr.com/twitter
What are the disadvantages?
CROSSING THE STREAMS
If you follow someone on Twitter who posts their Twitter to their Tumblr, you’re going to see it twice.
If you follow someone on Twitter who posts their Tumblr URLs to their Twitter, you’re probably going to see that twice.
The chance of either #2 or #3 causing you to be caught in an infinite loop and sucked into a black hole is extremely small but non-zero.
Want to try it yourself?
