I think a lot more sites should follow Tumblr's lead here, but I fear Tumblr is going to be shut down within the next few years and it'll be the last platform to adopt this approach (at least for a long time).
Why do you think tumblr is on the way out?
I wonder how much winblows.com is going for. Edit: I’ll update in 24 hours when a BuyDomains expert responds to my spam email address.

The smoothness of the marquee text is irritating. ;-) On a more serious note (haha), awesome theme. Tempted to think up something to build with it :-D

To be fair, I was 17 and fighting the man was the cool thing to do. :) I see you're a fan of Elm. Me too! I'm also slowly working on an Elm side project. Sadly, I don't think it'll ever get as much attention on HN as my 1999 website has over the past few hours.

The concept was simple, I got people to constantly ambush the teacher in the middle of classes and hug him while I took pictures. Then I posted them to the website, Hug Mr. Davis, along with really dumb text.

Circa 1988 I was sitting in the high school cafeteria listening to very early techno on my big fat Walkman knockoff and obnoxiously large headphones. Acquaintance rolls up to me and says "Lemme listen." I hand him the headphones. "This is good but I could, like, only listen to this in a club." My response? "Your loss." Years later, I discover…
