Not that we didn’t already know that.
In a list of his favorite tech tools for Inc., he said of his Leica M9 camera [emphasis added]:
I always carry my camera with me. After our last round of financing, I bought my dream camera, a Leica M9. It’s ungodly expensive—it costs $7,000 without lenses. But it’s the smallest digital camera they make with a full sensor. I post lots of photos on my blog, and I actually took most of the Tumblr employee photos.
Financing: the gift that keeps on giving.
I post lots of photos on my blog because I have a mental age of 14.

PS Neener neener neeeeeeeeeeener!!!!!!!
He has yet to take a picture of Chiarachel drowning in a bathtub, so I guess Rich Tong still sucks more?
loool
I could really care less what he spends his money on but when Tumblr is down all the fucking time, dude, get your priorities straight.
Edit: I deleted my tumblog about three months ago but I doubt it’s gotten it’s shit together since then.
Exactly.
tumblr is a nice idea, a crap execution, and all the money thrown at it hasn’t bought competence in management or technology
spending vc cash on toys, sure, yeah, all the rich kids do it, but most are smart enough not to say so quite so loudly
jesus fucking christ that’s stupid on stilts
That photo is killing me
“I actually took most of the Tumblr employee photos.”
Oh, nbd, it’s a business expense!
could have hired an entire professional photoshoot with make-up and clothes for that
For $7K I’ll buy a camera…if it includes blow jobs.
I am now using that picture of The Karpster on his hawg with NYC in the background as my new screen wallpaper. I feel so..so…..inspired. So….empowered.
I think tomorrow morning I’ll take a PHP course online and buy a book on some of that MySql woodoo and then found a company. Prolly around noon. A social media company. Yeah, that’s it.
Then I expect to have a tiny and cute hipster girlfriend by the end of the day tomorrow. With black glass frames slightly askew. Pictures of her slightly-covered ass on my personal blog tomorrow night. You’ll just be able to tell by looking that she’s a skilled fellatist. Oh, yeah.
Thank you GOMI! You’ve changed my life!
God I cannot stand his hipster girlfriend.
Eh, she seems bland and inoffensive, and smart enough to have played the “my roomate moved out and my lease renewal is coming up” card at the right time.
She’s so awful.
This is really fucking wrong to say, but what bugs me about the hipster girlfriend is that she’s like… 30? Isn’t that a few years older than Karp? In other words, shouldn’t she know better?
She’s the least stereotypical gold-digger I’ve ever seen, so I’ll give her that. I think in response to a question once about how she’s paying for school, she said something about student loans and “a very supportive boyfriend.”
I think that’s his thing. The two exes of his whom I know of, @caro and @stephaniewei, are in their late 20s. I don’t know about others (I know one other girl who dated him for a while, but I have no clue how old she is and it would prob be rude of me to guess) but I wouldn’t be surprised if more fit that bill. I’ve heard that his exes found him insufferably immature, guess they didn’t have enough of the gold-digger gene to put up with him.
is steph an “ex”? was it more than two or three dates? I realize “date” for Karp and his funding was like 4 days in Seattle or something, but still…
she’s 30? She looks 18 (that’s not a compliment btw)
Rachel just turned 27, I believe. Karp will be 25 next month. While only a 2 year difference in chronological age, am pretty sure DK is about 14 emotionally.
Re the blog post picture

I came to GOMI looking for ScooterKarp, and I was not disappointed. For more, there’s a slideshow here http://preview.tinyurl.com/3s36jd6
