Friend portfolio

I see a new revenue stream for Facebook here — some kind of automated friend-portfolio management app that optimizes your mix of friends and alerts you whenever a buddy spends too much time in a bad neighborhood or starts hanging out with low-lifes. Maybe Facebook could even set up an exchange for trading friend-portfolio derivatives. You could have everything from Aaa-rated friend portfolios (stable marriages, high-net-worth zip codes, regular statin intake) to speculative junk-rated friend portfolios (druggies, socialists, poets).

FDNY / NYPD plus donuts

just now, outside my building: 4 firetrucks, a jeep, and a donut cart (whenever you have FDNY or NYPD, you have donuts). turns out the boiler blew and it smells like exhaust everywhere. nothing to worry about, but in typical nyc fashion, i finally met the neighbors and we introduced ourselves.
