The Lion King Rises
“The Summer of ‘94 part of it cracked me up.”
“I don’t know what this makes me want to watch more… The Lion King or Dark Knight Rises…”
Edit: The answer is both. Both is the correct answer.
“Never, has a rhinoceros falling onto a toucan been so hilariously dramatic.”
“I want to watch the Lion King so badly after seeing this!”
“I got chills!”
“The roar at the end is just too perfect.”

Lunch being a game with few rules,
and those unwritten,
it’s important to him that the field of play
remain the same
as he fondly remembers it.
THE SONG OF LUNCH -
In conjunction with the relaunch of their website, CNN asked me to examine their web statistics and create a visual record of the site’s last 13 years. We were both interested in telling a larger story about the growth of the Internet and the public’s changing media habits through the lens of such an influential and heavily trafficked site.
The process started by determining what metrics might hold an interesting narrative, and which ones were available over the entire lifespan of the site. CNN was able to provide me with daily page views, the top 20 days for each year and the most popular pages on those days. I was also provided with monthly category views and lists of the nations visiting the site.
The spike chart of average weekly page views forms the centerpiece of the chart. The busiest 10 weeks are called out, and the events associated with the week are highlighted below the x-axis… along with other events of cultural significance or large week-over-week gains. I also tracked the absolute and relative growth of their site categories over time, and highlighted several unique metrics at the top of the chart, including the busiest and slowest days of the year, and the number of countries that visit the site (192 at last count). Finally, to put everything in context, I found milestones in the history of the Internet for each year which I placed along the bottom of the chart to create context for the narrative.
Ultimately, I think the most fascinating story here is the change in our news habits after September 11, 2001. After this day, a new and higher baseline for visits to the site is established, and the inference is that this event really established CNN.com and the greater Internet as a reliable, timely and indispensable source for news. -
Single A Tumblr Theme
The Single A tumblr theme introduces two new features not available on any other Tumblr themethe sticky post and featured tag.
Sticky Post
With Single A you have the ability to “stick” one post at the top of your blog regardless of the date and time of the post.Let’s say you always want to display at the top of your blog:
- An “About Me” post
- Your most recent original long-form blog post
- An introductory video
- A quote that you live by, or
- An advertisement
The sticky post feature allows you to do any of these things. With the sticky tag you can highlight whatever you want in your blog’s top spot.
Here’s how you set it up: In the appearance options, define the sticky tag and use that tag on the post that you would like to always display at the top of your blog. The most recent blog post with the sticky tag will always appear at the top.
Featured Tag
The featured tag enables you to display the five most recent posts of a specific tag in the right sidebar. Similar in layout to the Likes display, the featured tag display allows bloggers to display their five most recent original articles, musicians or music lovers to display their five most recent audio tracks, or photographers to display their five most recent photographs. In short, it’s designed to give you an opportunity to highlight your featured posts long after they have fallen off the first page of your blog.To enable the featured tag, all you have to do within the appearance options is:
- Insert a tag in the featured tag text box
- Use that tag on at least one post
- Define the label for the featured heading
The sticky post and featured tag are just two of the many features that Single A offers. You can add social media links; control the color of several styles; upload a custom logo or image; display likes, recent tweets, and group blog features; and incorporate the Disqus commenting platform and Google Analytics.

CNNMoney Tech Tumblr: Bizarre love tribute site from Léo Apotheker's "biographer" After getting deposed by two major tech companies — first SAP, then Hewlett-Packard — less than a year into his CEO tenure, Léo Apotheker has disappeared from the tech industry’s radar (aided, perhaps, by that one-way plane ticket HP offered to buy him back to France).
Which may be for the…
