“Enjoy your life. Who knows how long it will last. Be kind to animals and trees but only love humans who deserve it. Don’t give it to those fuckers who are just going to waste it.”

Why You Learn More Effectively by Writing Than Typing (via LifeHacker) →

The research results may seem common sense or obvious to many of us. If you’re interested in the biology behind writing’s effect on our achievements, though, here’s a little background: Writing stimulates a bunch of cells at the base of the brain called the reticular activating system (RAS). The RAS acts as a filter for everything your brain needs to process, giving more importance to the stuff that you’re actively focusing on at the moment—something that the physical act of writing brings to the forefront. In Write It Down, Make It Happen, author Henriette Anne Klauser says that “Writing triggers the RAS, which in turn sends a signal to the cerebral cortex: ‘Wake up! Pay attention! Don’t miss this detail!’ Once you write down a goal, your brain will be working overtime to see you get it, and will alert you to the signs and signals that […] were there all along.”

Semantic satiation →
en.wikipedia.org
Semantic satiation is a cognitive neuroscience phenomenon in which repetition causes a word or phrase to temporarily lose meaning for the listener, who can only process the speech as repeated meaningless sounds. For example, say: “smile smile smile smile smile smile smile smile smile smile smile smile smile smile….”.
Tumblr tricks...
When you want to link a special tumblr day, you can do it like this:
(yourtumblrname).tumblr.com/day/(year)/(month)/(day)
at the end it should look for example like this:
designerconfetti.tumblr.com/day/2010/08/07
The good is, that it shows up more than just the maximum 15 posts (when you have posted more on this day), but you don’t need to tag your posts to get this effect…
Here more tumblr tricks…
