As any Facebook developer knows, Facebook has some restrictive ideas about permissions and what apps should be allowed to do on your behalf or even know about you. One consequence of this is that Facebook avoids giving you any information about the user who is interacting with your app in a tab. The session data you are given will contain the page’s id (known as profile_id in the decoded signed_request value) but not the user’s id.

Abandoned, mostly-decrepit ships still manned by crew off the African coast: the only possible thing worse than living in Hialeah. More from Greenpeace.

Chloe Sevigny is strangely ugly.

Do you think anyone told Comedy Central that they’ve already played this episode of Chapelle Show 8257 times?

I’ve finally relaunched MiamiNights as a for-profit blog about Miami nightlife, restaurants, shopping, entertainment, etc. Check it out if you have a chance.

There was a story that went along with this photo but I didn’t care to even read it, much less retype it. Enjoy!

I throw in the towel. Over the next six months I will be looking for a loft in or around the Biscayne cooridor. If anyone knows of anything open and raw (and not preconstruction) drop me a line.
