“Mr. Karp is tall and skinny, with unflinching blue eyes and a mop of brown hair. He speaks incredibly fast and in complete paragraphs.”

  2. awfy asked: Did you purposely get a bigger screen than everyone else in the office to feel more awesome than those puny mortals?

    Back when it was just me and Marco, I opted for one 30” display and he took two 24”s.

    Everyone at Tumblr has gotten to pick out their ideal configuration so far, but we have made it policy not to hire anyone taller than me.

  5. Just spoke to grades 5-8 at The Academy for Scholarship and Enterpreneurship in the Bronx. These kids are awesome! Their first questions: How does Tumblr make money? (Seriously?! You’re 13…) Are you rich? Do you know Tom from MySpace? The last kid to talk to me was 2.5 feet tall, and asked if he could “really make websites too”. I’m starting to appreciate why my mom’s a teacher.

  6. How do eyes work?

    I’m pretty sure I can focus to perfect vision (near and far) when wearing my glasses over my contacts.

    Normal? I’m nearsighted.
