Another week, another delayed Friday procrastination. Last week I was rumbled in the demands to tumble — that is, Oxford University Press’s academic division has a shiny new Tumblr. For those of you in publishing and not on Tumblr, the inordinately helpful Rachel Fershleiser gave a presentation on Tumblr tips earlier this week. So without further ado…

While I already gave my opinion of the best OUPblog posts of the year, it’s only fair to see what you the reader decided. Here’s our top ten posts according to the number of pageviews they received.
(10) “Olympic confusion in North and South Korea flag mix-up” by Jasper Becker
(9) “Five GIFers for the serious-minded” by Alice Northover
(8) “Seduction by contract: do we understand the documents we sign?” by Oren Bar-Gill
(7) ““Remember, remember the fifth of November”” by Daniel Swift
(6) “Puzzling heritage: The verb ‘fart’” by Anatoly Liberman
(5) “The seven myths of mass murder” by J. Reid Meloy, Ph.D.
(4) “Oh Dude, you are so welcome” by Anatoly Liberman
(3) “How New York Beat Crime” by Franklin E. Zimring
(2) “Oxford Dictionaries USA Word of the Year 2012: ‘to GIF’” by Katherine Martin
And the number one blog post of the year is…
(1) “SciWhys: Why do we eat food?” by Jonathan Crowe
And I thought it would be interesting to note that our eleventh most popular blog post of 2012 is actually from 2009. People still enjoy arguing about unfriending.

It’s been an eventful week in Oxford spires (although I write this from the New York office which contains no spires). We had a kerfuffle over the OED and we’re gearing up for the Place of the Year extravaganza next week. So what have we learned in between?
Neither plank nor batman nor owl of night keep these students from the swift completion of their appointed reads. But milk might.
Appropriate after Black Friday and Cyber Monday, our OED Appeal of the week: Doorbuster.
The DSM definitions are always a source of controversy, the newest being personality disorders.
The end is in sight for the published works of Leonhard Euler.
How do you come up with the perfect brand name? Wordnik [good name] has the scoop.
Can you own page turning?
Our Australian cousins, the ANDC, have Ned Kelly in words and phrases (that I would very much like to adopt).
Wikipedia is partnering with JSTOR, so those citations may be getting better.
NYU Local examines replyallcalyse, or how Nicholas Cage will make your inbox explode.
Are you a hipster? What your reading habits reveal (about your cigarette jeans-wearing, Williamsburg neighbors, not you of course).
New on the dictionary insult list: “Give him credit this week, he’s got his very own word in the English dictionary, omnishambles.” (As opposed to the more traditional: “If you look up stupid in the dictionary, your face is there.”)
Can e-books help get books to remote communities in Latin America?
The Irish Times has appointed a poetry editor. (h/t Leslie Kaufman)
I’m sad not more people read Rob St. Amant’s amazing article on robots replicating animal tool use (promoting OUPblog content I know but it’s awesome).
Alexandra Lange on place setting anxiety.
And finally, stay curious my friends.
