Internet, meet Christopher!
Hi there! I’m Christopher Price. You may know me as topherchris from such posts as “The Funny Photoshop of That Thing on That Guy”, “My Top Five Uses for Bacon”, and the classic “Photo of Me on the Toilet.”
For reasons I cannot begin to fully understand, the kids in charge over at Tumblr HQ have decided to offer me the esteemed position of Editorial Director. This is truly an honor and delightful surprise, since I didn’t even know they could afford a paid staff, let alone health insurance.
I’ve spent every waking hour of the last couple of years building lots of fun toys using the Tumblr system, and every single day I’m consistently blown away by the ways you guys are using the platform to share your lives, your creations, and your gratuitous photos shot from angles previously thought impossible.
I greatly respect the Tumblr community and believe that transparency is always the best policy. To ensure your approval of this move, I’d like to present the following Tumblr Resumé which I hope will diffuse any doubts you may have as to my qualifications for this position.
- I joined Tumblr just a week after it launched, on February 28th 2007.
- I’ve since created 3,433 posts.
- I’ve been reblogged 9,859 times.
- I’ve received 21,600 likes.
- I often have three Tumblr tabs open in Safari without even realizing it.
- I enjoy photos of cute baby animals.
- I really wish they’d fix the drop-shadow on the “Audio” post button, too.
Thanks to everyone on the team for being so awesome, and a big sincere thanks to everyone who uses Tumblr for making it everything it is and everything it will be.
BTW, please continue to refer to me as topherchris. This whole “Christopher Price” façade is just to meet New York labor laws.
Tip: Post photosets from your iPhone
With the new iPhone OS 3.0, you can attach multiple photos to an email message from your Camera Roll. Tap the action-arrow button, select up to 5 photos, then tap Share.
Email them to Tumblr and we’ll automatically create a photoset.
By popular demand: J and K now jump between posts on the Dashboard.
Works great with endless scrolling.
We’re kicking off a series of concerts to showcase the incredible talent on Tumblr. We’ll be holding the first one August 10th in our hometown of NYC.
Submit your band by July 22nd, 2009 for a chance at ultimate glory and $500!
