Yahoo acquires Tumblr
Tumblr:
We’re not turning purple. Our headquarters isn’t moving. Our team isn’t changing. Our roadmap isn’t changing. And our mission – to empower creators to make their best work and get it in front of the audience they deserve – certainly isn’t changing.
So what’s new? Simply, Tumblr gets better faster. The work ahead of us remains the same – and we still have a long way to go! – but with...

Church and State are able to have different... →
Kevin Rudd:
I have come to the conclusion that church and state can have different positions and practices on the question of same sex marriage. I believe the secular Australian state should be able to recognise same sex marriage. I also believe that this change should legally exempt religious institutions from any requirement to change their historic position and practice that marriage is...

My Medical Choice →
Angelina Jolie, for The New York Times:
We often speak of “Mommy’s mommy,” and I find myself trying to explain the illness that took her away from us. They have asked if the same could happen to me. I have always told them not to worry, but the truth is I carry a “faulty” gene, BRCA1, which sharply increases my risk of developing breast cancer and ovarian cancer.
I commend Angelina Jolie for...

Fast Company:
My point in telling you these stories is this: Anything is possible. You can create the life you’ve always wanted to, if you believe it to be true. Your twenties will be the best years of your life. Your thirties will be the best years of your life. Your forties will be the best years of your life. All of your years will be the best years of your life if you decide they will...

My thoughts on Google’s I/O Keynote
There was a lot covered today at Google’s three-hour long I/O developers conference keynote, but here are some of my thoughts on just some of the products and services announced:
Google Play Music All Access - Google’s new music subscription service. Not interested, as I’m already subscribed to Spotify. It’s also US and Android only for now.

French Girls →
UO Blog:
French Girls is an app that lets you upload a picture of yourself for other people to draw totally anonymously. IT IS SO MUCH FUN. And it gives everyone a legitimate excuse to take 1,000 selfies. Plus, the name “French Girls” is a hilariously perfect Titanic reference (“Draw me like one of your french girls”), so obviously you need to download this app ASAP....

A guy I recently contacted through email thought I...
After pointing out that I was in fact a male, he replied, apologising and said,
“Your name is most similar to Taniqua, a female I’ve recently met, so I based my assumption on that.”

2 Letters from Steve →
David Gelphman:
During the 12+ years I worked at Apple I never met with Steve Jobs for work purposes. Of course like all Apple employees I saw Steve in Caffé Macs or walking with Jony Ive around the courtyard inside the Infinite Loop campus. And of course there were Comm meetings that he would run.
