I knew I wasn't alone! My sisters!

I don't understand Tumblr. At all.

E-Tomb, Social Networking From The Grave

E-Tomb is a design concept for a solar powered headstone that stores the deceased’s online presence which can then accessed via Bluetooth by visitors to grave.

I don't understand how fandoms move to tumblr, but it's great for stuff that's picspammy.

Tumblr and twitter seem to go well together. At least, I see a lot of links from people's tweets to their tumblr accounts.

I like the ones that are just pictures. Scrolling through pretty pictures is sometimes my speed, depending on the day.

yep. pretty pictures is what most of my tumblr feed is. i really need to start reblogging things. i don't know why i have an aversion. possibly because somehow a co-worker's son found me and started following me there and i'm not sure what to do with that. though maybe if i start reblogging pictures of pretty boys he'll go away.

I have a confession to make - I don't understand Tumblr. At all. Why it's there or what it does.

any blog could serve the same purpose it seems. do not get.

I am right there with you(s).

On War: Animals in War

Throughout military history, animals have gone to war alongside humans. Millions of horses, mules and donkeys died in World War I, as they carried the soldiers and artillery ammunition to the battle fields of Europe. “There was a great love and loyalty between the soldiers and the animals they worked with,” said registrar Toni M. Kiser, who created the exhibit “Loyal Force: Animals at War” at the National World War II Museum. During World War II, nearly 3,000 horses, provided by the Army Quartermaster Corps, enabled the shore patrol to cover more ground. “The U.S. Coast Guard used more horses than any other branch of the U.S. Military during WWII.” Most supplies and a great deal of artillery were still horse-drawn, and a mounted infantry squadron patrolled about six miles in front of every German infantry division. “These mounted patrol troops were referred to as the ‘eyes and ears of their units.’”

The Photos in this post include images from the Civil War to Iraq and Afghanistan.

There is a picture of a dead horse and a wounded dog that later died.

Also, I did not know that rats can be trained to sniff out landmines....

Wanna know something funny? I've kept one, for years, and I'm still on that bench with y'all. I didn't create it, though...I just click the widget("Lloyd, what's a widget?") and put clips from news stories on it. For all I know, it's powered by hamsters. ETA: In the spirit of never letting an opportunity go to waste, the tumblblog I took over from my ex-editor, Becky. [link]

As long as I'm coming clean, I don't understand delicio.us either. Is it the same thing, but with links?
