PPD is what it sounds like: a blog with the sole purpose of bringing a bit of happy news to the good folk of Tumblr. Each day the creator of PPD scours the Interwebs for a bit of joy amongst the chaos and then shares what she finds here.
Sometimes it's genuine news, sometimes it's a piece so fluffy you'll cry, but it's never negative or heavy.
It’s rather easy to get bogged down in all the natural disasters, wars, political debates, activism, and other not-so-good (but oh-so-important) news that floods one's Dashboard, so we here at PPD do very much hope you'll enjoy the change of pace.

Steam has announced the availability of a new beta client for Windows and Mac that will allow users to remotely manage their accounts from their phone or the web. This includes the ability for remote downloads of games, meaning you can start downloadinggames to your home computer while you’re slaving away at work and dreaming of the Orange Box.
The new beta client was announced via the Steam forums. It also offers reduced excessive system memory usage while downloading updates and added debug code to diagnose download issues. Judging from the forums, some people aren’t seeing remote management immediately when they install the new beta. There also seems to be a few reoccurring bugs (Steam has already issued fixes for two).
To check it out for yourself, go to File -> Settings. On the Account tab press the Change… button to open the Beta Participation dialog. Then Select “Steam Beta Update”, and allow Steam to restart itself.
