An advice for young people, don't love a person or a country which you cannot freely choose to leave.
告诫年轻人，不要去爱一个你不能选择自由离开的人或是国家。
Why a kg is currently my favorite SI unit:
-A meter is defined as the length light travels in a vacuum in 1/299,792,458 of a second
-A second is defined as the duration of 9,192,631,770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the caesium-33 atom.
-A kilogram is defined by this cylinder of platinum-iridium alloy kept in a vault near Paris. Science!

Inspired by Wordpress’ seriously clever use of Loren Brichter’s new Tweetie options, we’re launching our own Tweetie and Twitterrific compatible API. This Twitter-like API should make it easy for a lot of existing Twitter clients to start supporting Tumblr.
The really cool thing - because our following models follow a lot of the same principles, we’ve been able to take advantage of a ton of native features:
- Retweeting = Reblogging
- Replying = Reblogging w/ commentary
- Favoriting = Liking
- “@david” = ”http://david.tumblr.com/”
- Conversations = Reblogs
To try out Tumblr in Tweetie 2, tap “Accounts” → “+” → enter your username and password → tap the gear icon → enter “http://tumblr.com/” in both fields.
For Twitterrific, tap ”Sources” → “Edit” → “Add a New Account” → enter your username and password → tap ”Advanced” → set “Base URL” to “http://tumblr.com/” and disable “SSL”.

Introducing Placefav
Congrats kkkkkkkkkyle!!
Today I am proud to announce the launch of Placefav, a simple tool that lets you keep track of and share your favorite places with friends and family. Placefav allows you to make a simple list of your favorite neighborhood spots, then share it as easily as passing around a link; here’s mine: kyle.placefav.com.
As the site is still in its early stages, I’d love to hear any feedback, suggestions, or bug reports you may have! I have some really neat location-aware features planned, and will be working feverishly to keep Placefav the easiest way to share your favorite places. Follow this tumblelog for future happenings.
