dalas: I was looking through my old letters for the ones Melinda sent me (to see if she said anything about Portland), and I came across a piece of paper with my handwriting that says this:

I’m pretty sure that’s Dave’s info (height, birthdate, address). Maybe that’ll get you started. That letter must be pretty old, eh?

Good News, Bad News about Facebook Application Market: Long Tail Rules
“87% of the usage goes to only 84 applications!”
I may not be a Facebook expert, but I’ve heard enough about the latest rage that are the applications. I can’t help but wonder, do these apps really add to the user’s experience or are these just the new chain letter? One user uses the app, passes it on to a friend and so on and so on until you’ve got a clusterfuck of useless, inactive apps crowding the once-clean page. I understand that there’s a buttload of money being tossed around for Facebook apps, but come on… of the top 50 apps, 3 are of the HotorNot variety and I have no idea what else is in there. Barf.
But maybe there’s still hope:
“This doesn’t mean that Facebook won’t become an important platform for developers, just that a throwaway Facebook app is not the ticket to quick riches. Embracing the Facebook opportunity requires more than just optimism.”
Great news!

They Live - Fight Scene (via 30SecondsAway)
I saw “They Live” last night at the Laurelhurst Theatre. This clip is now on my list of best fight scenes of ALL TIME!!! In the fight are a couple of suplexes, a 2x4, and an atomic drop! Will it ever END!?
If you haven’t seen the movie, please do. Basically, “Rowdy” Roddy Piper can see the aliens that are controlling the Earth when he wears these special sunglasses. Hilarity, violence, and violent hilarity ensues. You’ll thank me when you hear Piper’s last line. Man oh man.

- Courtney: you're charging 1K a night for a room - hire a profressional for $200!!!

Can anyone tell me why there’s a cartoon in the middle of the articles on The New Yorker’s site?
I went to this page to read a piece on Ken Burns’ The War, which I’ve been sporadically watching this week, and was completely turned off by the comic. Does it add any value whatsoever? If the article was meant to be comical, maybe I could understand (even though the cartoon wasn’t funny). Do they think I need to be distracted while reading about WWII?
This is probably one reason why I don’t read The New Yorker. Boo.
