On Alone Again Or Something
Well said. I've always felt that way about writing - it's the best way for the emotionally/socially/aesthetically challenged among us to get our point across without having to worry about all the other unconscious clues and prejudices/assumptions of the listener that factor in when we communicate in person.

On Won't You Take Our Online Dating Survey, Just for Kicks?
@#56 I like the idea of making it more about what you do, as opposed to what you claim to be into, but I think they need to bring back more of the personal essay stuff. It seems too shallow.

On Free The Network
@Niko Bellic Bingo. That's the real root of the problem - the tech world is by and large convinced that the free market is infallible.

On Name That Los Angeles Neighborhood!
@wb Nebulous and awesome. I love where I live. Cheaper rent, better buildings, more parking and less traffic. Now if only someone could open a decent bar somewhere nearby. Little Bar and Tom Bergins suck.

On Name That Los Angeles Neighborhood!
@Eric Spiegelman @Rebecca Schoenkopf I've lived in those neighborhoods for the past five years (currently am in what is technically Carthay Square), but pretty much only tell people I live "near LACMA", "south of West Hollywood/Hollywood", or "Little Ethiopia Adjacent". Picfair Village is right around there, and I have also seen real estate brochures calling the area "SoFax" for South Fairfax. I once told a guy I lived in mid-city and he said I was an idiot. That's farther south.

On Alex Balk's New Year's Resolution
If 2010 is not better than 2009, I'm in serious, serious trouble. That said, my main resolution for 2010 is to get between seven and eight hours of sleep per night. That's reasonable, right?
