Just got an invite to spymaster - after clicking around for a few minutes, my take is this: it’s more or less a gimmick to get more people to sign up for spymaster.
Quoth spymaster’s FAQ:
Only one tactic universally increases your power as a spymaster: invite as many followers of yours as you can to become spymasters in your spy ring.

Yesterday, my tumblarity score wavered between 300 and 470. Who knows what it’ll be tomorrow.
Ack. I’m afraid of Tumblarity; I feel like it will alter peoples’ motivations, albeit perhaps more subconsciously, for posting content. I wonder if we will see a shift from more signal to more noise as more score-based features are released.

I even get my name in the last paragraph (“accomplice”, ha!). I can take credit for the rack of lamb (which was incredible, I must say so myself), Kara did the rest.
Hmm… I feel like we’ll be seeing many more...

Web dev wanted

This is one of the more promising startups that will be joining my company this summer in Philadelphia. They are looking for a developer for at least the summer. You get paid the same as the rest of us ($5k) and an equity share. Based on their research (they are both professors), the co-founders believe they have discovered a much more effective way for people to learn English...
Konami Code plugin for jQuery →
I was really bored, and websites with Easter Eggs triggered by the Konami Code seem to be all the rage these days, so I made a jQuery plugin to help you all lead more fulfilling lives.
Update: now supports a watchFor option - you can specify a string value containing key- and charCodes (e.g. 38384040373937396665 will match “up up down down left right left right [all on arrow keys] b...
