Without JS you get separate pages that only contain the notes. For the mentioned blog post the first page would be:

http://ronbarak.tumblr.com/notes/40692813320/4Y70Zzacy

Following pages are linked at the bottom, e.g.:

• http://ronbarak.tumblr.com/notes/40692813320/4Y70Zzacy?from_c=1358403506
• http://ronbarak.tumblr.com/notes/40692813320/4Y70Zzacy?from_c=1358383221
• http://ronbarak.tumblr.com/notes/40692813320/4Y70Zzacy?from_c=1358377013
• …

(See my answer on how to find the next URL in a’s onclick attribute.)

Now you could use various tools to download/parse the data.

The following wget command should download all notes pages for that post:

wget --recursive --domains=ronbarak.tumblr.com --include-directories=notes http://ronbarak.tumblr.com/notes/40692813320/4Y70Zzacy
