Dear Internet,
Please stop telling me how offended you are on behalf of Ben Gibbard. Owl City does not sound like the Postal Service. Ignoring my opinion that The Postal Service is good, and Owl City is not, what similarities are there? They sound pretty similar vocally, but they’re hardly indistinguishable from one another. They are not at all similar musically or lyrically. You suck at music. -Nick

What's so offensive about Tumblarity?
Is it because you thought you were waaay more popular back before tumblr assigned you some goofy ranking? It’s just one line.  A line you never ever have to click on. You can even pretend it’s not there if you like. See I’m pretending now. POOF! It’s gone! If your goal in creating a tumblr account was to post interesting things, and follow interesting people, well I...

kayfabe: (via twistmac) Dropping tabs for a sidebar is a fantastic idea, which is why Omniweb’s userbase skyrocketed back when they implemented this in 2004…. oh wait.

I’m elated and devestated at the same time.  This will make me a poor pennyless man. A poor pennyless man with a pocket full of Nick Hornby novels, yes, but poor and pennyless regardless.
