tumblr-weeds

remember in the early days of websites, people would add flying gifs and other objects to their pages? you could give the visitor's mouse a trail of stars, or letters that spelled out a word or phrase if it sat long enough. snowflakes would rain from the top of the page...

apparently when society decided all those effects were just plain annoying, the effects didn't go to die.... they went to tumblr.

i must be too old to "get" tumblr, but once in a while i'll be sent a link to a page from there. trying to figure out who tumbled what, and what's a re-tumbl, (or the correct tumblr-terminology) gives me a headache. but when i click into a page with those wonderful Y2K effects, that's when i X-out in frustration, with a migraine.
