Addendum

I feel like the new friend feed may be a bit icky because it doesn't respect personal themes, which presumably people pick for a reason... but on the other hand, it geekily allows you to navigate posts through the traditional vim J/K keys, which I find super useful (other places this can be used: Gmail, Google Reader, reddit with res). 

[As an addendum to the addendum, apparently I'm more inclined to slice-of-life posting while on business/recruiting trips where my usual distractions aren't availble to me. It's not likely to continue, for those of you missing the fiction that usually inhabits this space.]
