October 2007: Ruben Fleischer joins Tumblr.

October 2009: Ruben Fleischer’s major motion picture directorial debut, Zombieland, finishes out the weekend as the highest grossing movie at the box office.

The man makes good decisions.  Congrats, Ruben!

Hey gang! How’s it going? Man, you guys wouldn’t believe some of the amazing things we’re working on over here at Tumblr HQ. There’s something magical around every corner. It’s pretty much exactly like Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory without the fruit-coated wallpaper (I’ve checked).

On the other hand, we do spontaneously break into song after sending disobedient children to their doom.

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls… The latest five picks for Tumblr Tuesday:

We love stop-motion
You’ll find the best stop-motion, timelapse, pixilation, and claymation videos on the web at this Tumblr blog. Videos are curated with a love for this timeless (see what I did there?) art, and submissions are encouraged.

Neighborhoodr
Neighborhoodr is a reader-generated blog network where anyone can quickly and easily post about what’s happening in their neighborhood. Focused exclusively on New York City for the moment, the network is made up of over 60 Tumblr blogs with each assigned to a specific neighborhood.

Funny or Die
Whoa, it’s the official Tumblr of Funny of Die! There’s lots of funny pictures and videos here that I’m sure you’ll love, and I’m not just saying that because they promised me a free t-shirt. (Look: I’m a sucker for free t-shirts.)

Let’s All Help Brett Davis Meet Jeff Goldblum
Brett Davis has a dream. You may not think it’s a very noble dream, but that’s because you’re not Brett Davis. If you were, you’d undoubtedly agree that the opportunity to meet the star of such films as The Fly and Jurassic Park is not only noble, it’s a moral imperative.

Awesome YouTube Comments
It’s my sincere hope, of course, that advanced alien civilizations never find out about this website. For if they do, the entire human race could be dismissed as nothing more than idiotic mouth breathers and forced into bondage by irate extraterrestrials. As much as I enjoy a good laugh, I can’t support gambling with the downfall of humanity like this.

Now it’s your turn! What are some other Tumblr blogs that you’d recommend?

We’re about to start rolling out a bunch of features focused on interaction between tumblelog authors and their readers.  Post notes are going to be the glue for all of this interaction, so we’d like to ask all theme designers (and anyone with custom themes) to incorporate this new tag:

{PostNotes}

This will render the post’s notes (including reblogs and likes) on their permalink pages.  Check out an example on my tumblelog.

Unlike our other theme tags, this outputs generic HTML markup, so all you need to do is style it with CSS.  Here’s a basic stylesheet to get you started:

ol.notes {
    padding: 0px;
    margin: 25px 0px;
    list-style-type: none;
    border-bottom: solid 1px #ccc;
}

ol.notes li.note {
    border-top: solid 1px #ccc;
    padding: 10px;
}

ol.notes li.note img.avatar {
    vertical-align: -4px;
    margin-right: 10px;
    width: 16px;
    height: 16px;
}

ol.notes li.note span.action {
    font-weight: bold;
}

ol.notes li.note .answer_content {
    font-weight: normal;
}

ol.notes li.note blockquote {
    border-color: #eee;
    padding: 4px 10px;
    margin: 10px 0px 0px 25px;
}

ol.notes li.note blockquote a {
    text-decoration: none;
}

You can get the full documentation (including complementary tags like {NoteCount}) on the Custom Themes page.
