Just an FYI. Clicking “Turn off Buzz” in Gmail doesn’t turn off your profile. It just turns off your own access to it in Gmail. I just discovered this while using Google on my iPhone. The Buzz icon is still sitting atop the page, I can post via my app and now it keeps asking for my location.

To organize all of the new Reply, Ask, and Submit options we’re building, we just added this “Community” menu to the Customize page.
You’ll see a new option to “Allow replies from people following you for more than two weeks.”
Enabling replies for blogs other than your primary one is almost finished!
A typically Tumblrish implementation of this hot new thing called “blog comments”.

I’ve finally seen Avatar and the main thought that struck me (OK, after, “damn, that’s some nice hard-surface modelling”) was that the poor overworked production designers and conceptual artists on the film probably had to scientifically justify every single rivet, marking, and graphic they created to James Cameron.

According to those nice people at Tumblr, I’ve been using their platform for 3 years. But only seriously for about 4 months. I guess that’s about right, developmentally speaking.
Great pic, too.

I have one of these! They’re totally great. I should get a few cordials and create different coloured rows of invaders.
