Does tumblr have an iPhone app? If no, then they should get on it…
there are third party ones i think. but nothing official…
Most of my inbloguration coverage was done by means of the Tumblrette iPhone app. I feel like I’ve already gotten $1.99 worth of value in the ten days I’ve had it.
It even works in the subway:

Ideas for T-shirts

I used to have the second t-shirt in high school; I’d probably wear the first one now as well.
DC Pedestrian Lights
In Washington DC, they have countdowns at pedestrian traffic signals, just like in SF. However, the DC ones start absurdly high, counting down from as high as 70 seconds. I didn’t expect this, so when I saw the walk signal display “69”, I began giggling. Because even while witnessing history, I have the maturity of a seventh grader. Not that I knew what that term meant in 7th...

Air and Simple Gifts

What's Obama's Walkup Music?
I’d vote for Jay-Z’s “The Takeover”
Thanks for the shout-out
Di-Fi repping for the Lincoln Memorial crowd!
I never imagined...
…we’d see an African-American president. Nor that we’d see a portly, bigoted Phillip Seymour Hoffman lookalike deliver the inaugural prayer.
Biden Sworn In
Does this mean Cheney can now be arrested for all his crimes?
And now Cheney
I have never heard a man in a wheelchair booed so severely. He’s like a real-life Mr. Potter.
"Four More Minutes"
That’s what the Lincoln Memorial crowd started chanting when Bush appeared on the Jumbotron.
Bush's Strategery
George W. is going to stick as close to Obama as possible to try to avoid getting booed.
Inaugural Swag
Got a sweet commemorative button from the national park service. Inauguration rule one: Make nice with the park rangers. Rule two: Never fall in love.
Inaugural question answered
Yes, we in fact can. Thanks crowd!
Bush Still Has Three Hours to Pardon Roger Clemens
He might sign the papers right there at the ceremony. Don’t think he wouldn’t.
Burning Inauguration Question
Can we?
Book of Barack

“And Obama went to the inaugural parade route, and cast out all them that sold and bought on the Mall, and overthrew the tables of ‘Yes We Did!’ buttons, and the seats of them that sold t-shirts sequined with his face…”

Bush Balloon Update
The Bush balloon was labeled “Bushocchio”. Because he LIES, man! One observer said, “Come on, that’s not even clever!
I chose to throw a pair of women’s sandals, because they looked strappy and fun.
Pretty sure I solved a lot of issues with that throw. You’re welcome, everybody.
WatchI give vlog a bad name.
Manhattan v. Brooklyn v. Queens
When I was in Manhattan, I felt less attractive, but cooler. In Brooklyn, I felt much more handsome, but also way less cool. I didn’t spend any time in Queens on this trip, but historically, being there makes me feel like I should grow a mustache, just to fit in.
iPhone Profundity
The iPhone auto-corrects “pi” to “ok”. Someone tell Darren Aronofsky, stat!
