Dear Tumblr

oatmeal:

If you’re going to go down, you might as well blame it on an imaginary animal like Twitter did with their infamous Fail Whale. I’ve taken the liberty of creating this animal for you:

Please use it.

Please oh please.

Because surfing 40 foot waves at Jaws isn’t hardcore, why not do it at night?

2011 surfboard baggage fees per airline comparison

My blood is still boiling from connecting with a Delta flight on the way home from Bali - we didn’t know they charged for surfboards and spend US$400 getting our boards from Bangkok to Seattle. Fucking cunts at Delta, I hate them so much and hope their business collapses.

But this is a great comparison on what airlines charge for surfboards. Our next trip to Bali I’m flying aussie airlines so luckily will only have to pay $50 - it will cost more to get my board from Seattle to LA than the rest of the whole trip.

Invaluable for any travelling surfer.

“ The Interview was all but complete when I met [Steve] Jobs at a celebrity-filled birthday party for a youngster in New York City. As the evening progressed, I wandered around to discover that Jobs had gone off with the nine-year-old birthday boy to give him the gift he’d brought from California: a Macintosh computer. As I watched, he showed the boy how to sketch with the machine’s graphics program. Two other party guests wandered into the room and looked over Jobs’s shoulder. ‘Hmmm,’ said the first, Andy Warhol. ‘What is this? Look at this, Keith. This is incredible!’ The second guest, Keith Haring, the graffiti artist whose work now commands huge prices, went over. Warhol and Haring asked to take a turn at the Mac, and as I walked away, Warhol had just sat down to manipulate the mouse. ‘My God!’ he was saying, ‘I drew a circle!’ “But more revealing was the scene after the party. Well after the other guests had gone, Jobs stayed to tutor the boy on the fine points of using the Mac. Later, I asked him why he had seemed happier with the boy than with the two famous artists. His answer seemed unrehearsed to me: ‘Older people sit down and ask, “What is it?” but the boy asks, “What can I do with it? A huge Playboy interview with Steve Jobs, aged 29. (via somethingchanged)

Timelapse - a year in Norway.

Seattle feels a bit like that - really clearly defined seasons with major changes across all of them, at least from seeing summer, autumn and winter…
