The facts were these*:
- I really needed to learn AS3
- The best way for me to learn a new language is to dive head-first into a real project
- Tumblr has no easy way of batch-tagging posts
I started this project months ago and it fell by the wayside when I got super busy at work. Tonight, I realized that The Office was a rerun, so I decided to get TumblrTaggr to a good stopping point where I could release it to the public in good conscience.
I’m not a designer, so I had Adam create the logo and Ryan gave me a wireframe to work with as far as the rest of the design was concerned.
It probably needs a lot more work (and a face-lift), but it’s currently doing what I need it to do: allowing me to tag multiple posts at once.
It’s an AIR app (my first!), so if you don’t already have AIR installed on your machine, it will prompt you to do so.
Please, please, please try it out and give me some feedback. This has been my pet project for a while so I fully intend to work on it more in the future.
*I really miss Pushing Daisies
Can’t decide which of the remaining Top Chef’s I hate least.

Between the hybrids, the reusable canvas shopping bags and cloth diapers, everybody’s doing their little bit to save the world. Entire industries have sprang up to cater to us socially-responsible types who want to leave behind a better world for the robots to inherit once they take over.
But, most of the time, making you feel better is about all it does.
Someone on CNN just compared Obama to Kanye West. Really??
So, fix economy, healthcare, education, energy, cut deficit in half, & cure cancer. I guess that’s a good start.
Got 1st unemployment check today. My ‘09: Turned 30, laid off. On the plus side- I’m all caught up on BSG & have grown out a sweet beard.
Jason Permenter came up with a new meme for us to do together! I did it and it changed my life. So shouldn’t yours as well.
1. In the shower that’s closest to you RIGHT NOW, find and write down the brand name of the first product you find. It doesn’t matter which one, but it has to be the FIRST ONE you see.
2. Pick up the book closest to where you are, whether it’s at home or work. Open up to page 47, and write down the last 4 words on the page.
3. Figure out what the main ingredient (by volume) from the last meal you ate was (you can choose two, if there’s a tie. This is essential). Note the AVERAGE WEB-SAFE COLOR HEXADECIMAL HTML CODE of that ingredient. It doesn’t matter which color it is, as long as it’s the average.
4. Next time you’re in a taxi, write down the driver’s ID number from his or her identification plaque. If you don’t live anywhere near a taxi service, or if you don’t plan on being in one in the next few minutes, you can just use the last 5 digits of your Social Security number. It doesn’t matter what the numbers are, even if they’re slightly embarrassing, but they have to be the LAST FIVE.
5. The name of the first person you ever kissed, plus what you might approximate their current weight to be, even if you haven’t seen them in years and years. This has to be in POUNDS.
6. Convert their weight into kilograms, then BACK into pounds. You have to use Google to find out the conversion equation for this, but it’s worth it. This is essential, and has to be done JUST like this: pounds —> kilograms —> pounds. IMPORTANT, YOU’LL SEE!
7. Find the subject line of the last email you received from your Best Friend, and pick the FIRST WORD.
8. Write all of this down in one place, on ONE piece of paper. It doesn’t matter where you write it, but you MUST write it down on paper, and it has to be on ONE piece only.
9. Go to THIS RANDOM PHOTO SITE, and save whatever image comes up, no matter what it is.
10. Open up the image in Adobe Photoshop CS3 or earlier (do NOT use CS4! THIS IS IMPORTANT. You may use MSPaint or the equivalent, if you have to. IMPORTANT!). type out each item line-by-line on your list in Trebuchet MS, right-justified, on the right half of the photo. If you don’t have Trebuchet MS installed on your system, you can use Arial or anything else. But it has to be the first font you think of. IMPORTANT!
11. Repost this everywhere and tag everyone you know on Memebook™! New meme
Can someone explain how a twitterer with only 7 updates has over 8k followers? Is it just reciprocal adds? http://twitter.com/Odd_World
Also, I’m confused by this guy who added me: http://tinyurl.com/aknpmo Real person or bad impression of Gary Vaynerchuk? #EmptyAphorisms
I’m very impressed with the production creativity on the Oscars
Prepping for a garage sale tomorrow. I’m so domesticated.
Strange feeling to be hanging out downtown in the middle of a weekday.
