Today we stumpled upon the Facebook gangster. They really nailed it. The jokes, the rap style, we lost about 2 hours today looking and laughing at his viral gem. We couldn’t help compare it to Black 20’s Sheffield Quigley. Quigley was the first professional myspace photographer. This is no lazy sunday, but we really enjoy how they classify types of social network photos and how they might have been created.

Woefully unemployed Colbert Report writer, Frank Lesser, is having a birthday party tonight at Shoolbred’s in the East Village.
It will probably be a fairly depressing affair, as most things are that deal with words and people who put them together to make sentences. You probably shouldn’t even go. I just really wanted to re-post this conversation I got in an email: two people at a “fancy club” talking about Frank’s party.

Tim Harrington of Les Savy Fav is a giant, malarial mosquito for the VH1-sponsored Nothing But Nets campaign to bring repellent mosquito netting to Africa.
