New Theme Change
As the saying goes, I’m “eating my own dog food” for a while. I’ve changed to a Tumblr theme that I built in an effort to make sure it’s working perfectly.

Great since day one
Very well put. And why I’m an Apple Fanboy.
marco:

Apple tends to do that a lot. It’s deeply...

How to post multiple images to Tumblr from your...
This afternoon I took a few pics with my iPhone and I wanted to upload them directly to my Tumblr. Opening up my handy Tumblr app, I was quickly disappointed to find that I could only attach one photo. So I decided to pull up the site in Safari and was again let down. For some reason the mobile version of the site only allowed one photo as well! So I googled my problem and couldn’t find a...

How to Save Your Twitter Links In Delicious
For the past week, I’ve been trying out a new tool called “packratius.” It works great to save every link you tweet or retweet straight into your delicious bookmark collection. You don’t need an account either. All you need to do is visit http://packrati.us/ and login through twitter and login through delicious. I set up my links to have the tags “via:...

3 Reasons to Drop What You're Doing and Grab...
When I first heard of Dropbox I thought two things: 1. Why would I need it when I have Time Machine 2. It must cost too much. As for Time Machine, I’ve realized (thanks to recent natural disasters) that my house may not be the safest place to keep my important files. As for my second reaction, well that leads right into my first point…

Tablet/iSlate/iPad Predictions
Alrighty. It’s almost that time of year. It’s perhaps more exciting for most fanboys than Christmas. The time when Apple announces what it’s been working on. I’ve heard rumors of this tablet for more than a year and I’m here to make my guesses as to what it will be like.
It’s late so I’m gonna make this short and try to make it sweet.

Customizing Fluid Theme
The theme you see on my tumblr page currently is known as the “Fluid Theme” by Metalab. It’s a great looking theme, but I’m a designer so I intend to make my own. I’m new to tumblr so I thought I’d start by customizing an existing theme and slowly working it into something that fits with my branding over at painteddigital.com
Let’s get started
To start...
