Calatrava (7) (by Anne*°)
I learned something new tonight: If I edit a previous day’s Tumblr entry, the item gets reposted with the date on which it’s updated.
How I did I learn it? I added something from today’s NYT about the “Play Me, I’m Yours” street pianos project to my original (May 25) post. (Well, it actually was my reblogging of my May 25 Unconsumption post!) As a result, the item moved from its posted May 25 position to the spot below this one, dated June 15.
Something similar happened yesterday when I edited this item I reblogged from Murketing on Sunday about adult merit badges; when I saved the edited text, the post date changed from Sunday’s to Monday’s.
Now I wonder: Am I the last Tumblr-ing person to realize that this date-updating happens?!
Reposting my unconsumption post (I love this project):
Sing for Hope, a New York-based non-profit organization that promotes arts accessibility, will install 60 donated (used) pianos in New York City parks and other public spaces next month. The “street pianos” are part of “Play Me, I’m Yours,” an international public art project created by British artist Luke Jerram. Jerram describes the project as “a blank canvas for everyone’s creativity.”
Pianists and passers-by will be able to post photos and videos to streetpianos.com/nyc2010, which features maps showing the piano locations and additional information about the project.
After the project ends in July, Sing for Hope will donate the pianos to area schools and community centers.
