Stowe Boyd: How Tumblr Can Make Money And Not Piss Us Off

stoweboyd:

The debate swirling online about how Tumblr (and by extension, Yahoo) can make ad money without alienating a fickle hipster audience is fairly straightforward, if you know how Tumblr works.

Most users would be pissed off if Tumblr put ads a/ on their blogs (extremely pissed off), or b/…

A good idea. Hopefully all the right people are listening.

REBLOG GIVEAWAY.

I’m trying to spread the word about the new Out of Step Arts T-shirts that will be debuted at Heroes Con in June (and are available for pre-order at a special price here). So, if you could help me out by rebloging this post, you could win a free OOSA shirt! Pretty easy, huh? 

How it works:

• If you reblog this post, you are automatically entered for your chance to win one (1) OOSA shirt of your choosing; either the Toby Cypress (“Arrival”) design or the Liz Suburbia (“Old VA”) design.
• On 6/3/13, I’ll randomly select three (3) people as winners. Winners will be notified via Tumblr ask or mail. 
• The three people selected will let me know which design, size, color and “fit” (ladies’ or unisex).
• I’ll mail you your shirt for free. Winners will not incur any costs or fees.  
• If the person(s) selected cannot be contacted via tumblr, or do(es) not respond timely, another person(s) will be be chosen.

Not bad for clicking a button. Thanks for your help getting the word out about the shirts.

Tailored Molecules

With the hand of nature trained on a beaker of chemical fluid, the most delicate flower structures have been formed in a Harvard laboratory—and not at the scale of inches, but microns. These minuscule sculptures, curved and delicate, don’t resemble the cubic or jagged forms normally associated with crystals, though that’s what they are. Rather, fields of carnations and marigolds seem to bloom from the surface of a submerged glass slide, assembling themselves a molecule at a time.

By simply manipulating chemical gradients in a beaker of fluid, Wim L. Noorduin, a postdoctoral fellow at the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) and lead author of a paper appearing on the cover of the May 17 issue of Science, has found that he can control the growth behavior of these crystals to create precisely tailored structures.
