Congrats to the Tumblr Team.
david:

We did it! You’re looking at a Top 50 site. :)
And thank you for the shout out, TechCrunch!

You hear people in the Valley always say ‘I want my entrepreneurs to be hungry.” I agree with that, but think there’s a difference between being panicked and being hungry. And I think too often founders find themselves with negative net worth, credit card bills, etc and they get freaked out.

bijan sabet: Ask first before rushing to judgement

Last night was like any other night.

After a day at the office I got into my car and drove home. I got on the the Mass Pike near Copley Square and 100 yards later a SUV from the left lane came across two lanes hit me on the left side and drove me into the wall of the underpass.
