The wildest thing about the recent Tumblr change isn’t the change itself, it’s the fact that they made the change at all. It took man hours and time to do this. I assume it wasn’t trivial. So what exactly was the actual end goal? Certainly not to make money. Are they just fucking around?

A funny thing about the concrete keyboard is that it is indeed porous. I noticed a strange dark spot on the side, and it was an oil stain. I used one of those magic eraser sponges to get the oil out. I’ll write more about this keyboard later, but it is phenomenal.
