GIFPaint
Simple online browser-based image editor to create your own hand drawn GIF animations, which can be posted directly to your Tumblr blog:
A simple HTML5 animation application inspired by MacPaint, Deluxe Paint and MSPaint.
Created by James Hicks, if you have any feedback or bugs you can get in touch on Twitter or info (at symbol) gifpaint.com.

Tumblr Editor Picks Best GIFs of the Year
Tumblr legend topherchris picks 10 great gifs from the platform for Mashable:
Christopher Price, a.k.a. topherchris, is the editorial director at Tumblr. The following article is not an endorsement for Tumblr nor does it represent the opinions of Mashable as a company.
This was was a big year for a certain file format. We witnessed the 25th anniversary of the GIF, the first ever live-GIFing of presidential debates, a large-scale GIF festival and the selection of “GIF” (as a verb, as in to create a GIF file) as U.S. Word of the Year by Oxford Dictionaries.
All that, and we still can’t seem to decide how to pronounce it. (I’m a militant proponent of the soft g version — as in, Jiff — simply because that’s how the programmers who developed it pronounced it and it seems right to respect their thinking on the matter.)

… man that’s gone quick …
Thanks to everyone who follows everything here, either on Tumblr or RSS or whatever system you use, I’m glad this little ‘thing’ I run here is appreciated by many, and hope to bring as much interesting stuff as I can.

Hi all …
Who would have thought that for many months, commuting, working a day job, researching and working on a blog into the late hours with (usually much) less than 5 hours sleep every night, with a change of season, and spending no quality on anything would make me a sensitive, anxious, tired individual …
Yes, I’m an idiot … and … caffeine is one hell of a drug …
In some ways, I wish I could make this blog work financially, but I don’t think anyone else has managed a magic formula, and I can’t see myself doing so either. But I can’t see myself giving this up, it’s something I enjoy doing, and I very much will continue to run it :)
I have to say, thank you to EVERYONE who sent well wishes to me, you know who you are, and you know I am grateful to every single one of you. You make this endeavour all the more worthwhile …
Oh … and V5MT … you’re an absolute star …
Hi there, I’m wondering if anyone here can help me out …
Someone here on my dashboard posted a quote from an article - the gist of it was ” … we use stuff from small creative scenes and use them to keep our artist’s fresh “, referring to the likes of A-list performers.
Does anyone here rememer posting it, and where it came from?
And yes, it was BEFORE the Rhianna performance on SNL - coolhunters and coolhunting is nothing new ..

xxl interview with me at societeperrier.com
A worthwhile read, not only because his work is so satisfying, but also alludes to creativity and Tumblr, and why it’s a great mix.
Nick Clegg Looking Algorithmically Sad
Remix of a Tumblr meme blog, with images of the UK Deputy Prime Minister run through facial and emotional recognition software.
WOW! A GIF I pieced together on the Radar - a personal first - thanks Tumblr :D
And a quick hello to recent followers - the blog seems to have had quite a surge, faster than it has been in quite some time - hope you all find the things I share here interesting.
The Amazing iOS 6 Maps
Inevitable Tumblr blog of the day, subtitled “The Apple iOS 6 Maps are amazing. Not.”
It works on various levels - a blog of mockery, glitch art, incorrect information, and plenty of sarcasm.

Is it me, or has Tumblr turned retro? Web 1.0 …
… I must be in some lame bad mood …
Finding it a little frustrating when posts which I put together after lengthy research periods find their way to A-List sites, only to be credited to a reblog …
Two today, first at Boing Boing [credited link], now The Verge [Credited Link]
Nothing against the rebloggers themselves - it’s just having to spend a couple of hours putting gifs together to attract attention to a video which would likely to be skimmed away, only to be credited to someone else is a little frustrating …
I know it’s the internet, I know it’s lame to moan about it (and I’m not moaning at Tumblr itself)
Apologies for the outburst …
