You know, since I started reading the rumors about tumblr and Yahoo, like an overwhelming many, I’ve heard every voice in my head scream “noooooo.” And I haven’t been able to put my finger on exactly why - whether it was Yahoo’s track record in other acquisitions, or the strangeness of the pairing, or just the always immediate reaction to resist change. But, the more I search the “yahoo” tag on tumblr and think back to when I started my blog (more than two years ago now) - I’ve realized the nagging feeling has to do with the tumblr community, a community that opens its arms to all, no matter how weird or different or new. A community that views everyone as a creator.

I don’t know what Yahoo will do to that. But I suppose it’s time to cross our fingers (and toes), because I don’t want to stop rooting for tumblr and its community. Not yet.

matt and kim!

More pork, this time with pickled carrots from num pang.

Found quincy. Found pork. What else do you need? #googamooga

Current status = trying to figure out where quincy is on this map. We did not properly think this through…

This is a random doodle I made on a pink post-it the other day. Thought I wrote “love makes the world go round and round” but somehow in my doodling daze “world” became “news.”

Zachary Rose’s Petheadz is our favorite thing today.

He shoots photos of Toronto pets and their owners and does an incredible job of merging them into one.

Love this.

Every time Quinn Popcorn runs a batch of their popcorn, they end up with some leftover boxes. Instead of throwing them all away, they’ve decided to “upcycle” them as business cards, cutting them into the right sizes and then using custom stamps to mark them. Creative, practical and good for the environment? Win.

Mini clam bake? Yes, please.

One of these days I’ll go to smorgasburg and resist getting asiadog…just not today.

  • Quincy: do you have the banana bread recipe (8:52pm)
  • Zach: yes but out right now. Can I get it to you later tonight. Maybe an hour. (8:53pm)
  • Quincy: that would be awesome. (8:54pm)
  • Quincy: nevermind, mom called me back. (9:06pm)

SK and I headed to Betel for brunch today on the right side of noon - right because it was quiet and empty, the two of us made up the pre-1pm crowd. An hour later as other groups finally filtered in, we had inhaled vanilla bourbon french toast, wok-fried eggs w/ bacon and two cups each of the french press sitting on our table. Naturally we still had room, so this fruit salad happened.

Some of the flowers in Jefferson Market Garden.

I would like a room full of these flowers, please.

Street music on Bleeker.
