Whoa dudes! The official Tumblr app is shown in the new iPhone commercial for a few seconds. We’re truly honored. But there’s more!

In an upcoming episode of a popular hospital drama, a lead character searches Tumblr to solve a medical mystery! Plus, a top player in a well-known football league is planning to post a photo of his new touchdown celebration during next Sunday’s game! Lastly, I have it on good authority that a Tumblr balloon will be featured in Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade!

Ahh, fantasy is better than real life.

Commonplace
I know what you’re thinking. “Oh look! Text on photos! How original! Oh crap, I left the oven on!” I’d make an impassioned argument against your misguided thought process here, but you really need to get home before your stupid house burns down.

something something.
“Art” is the process or product of deliberately arranging elements in a way that appeals to the senses or emotions. That’s what Wikipedia says. I’m honestly not sure why those nerds think they can say anything on the subject.

Jazz Channel
Jazz is perhaps the great American art form, and Jazz Channel celebrates it. If you’re into jazz, you’ll love this site. If you hate jazz, you’ll still love this site. That’s the power of the rhythm of life, you jive turkey.

Fuck Yeah Subtitles
This is awesome. It’s like watching a video without all that annoying movement and sound and stuff. But seriously, looking at these screencaps is strangely addictive. I’m going to start watching everything in freeze-frame.

One Theme Every Day
This is perfect for the discerning reader that has no idea what they like. Every single day, this Tumblr blog picks a brand-new theme to cover. So one day it’s rainbows and the next it’s famous Eastern European dictators. Win-win.

Who do you nominate for next Tumblr Tuesday?

Now testing: Ask Me

The new Ask feature lets your friends or readers ask questions that you can choose to answer on your blog.

You can enable it from your new Messages page (where we’re about to start adding a bunch of new messaging options!).

They even come with a bunch of new theme variables for designers to format them:

{block:AskEnabled}
    <a href="/ask">{AskLabel}</a>
{/block:AskEnabled}

{block:Answer}
    <div class="answer">
        <div class="question">{Question}</div>

        <span class="asker">
            <img src="{AskerPortraitURL-24}"/>
            {Asker}
        </span>

        <div class="answer">{Answer}</div>
    </div>
{/block:Answer}

Enjoy!
