On a side note, I have noticed facebook posts now using words to describe the emoticons that used to be posted. for example *sadface* or *excited smiley*. It's a weird phenomenon.

And that's why Facebook will be with us forever....I expect that within three more Presidential administrations all Americans will be forced to have a Facebook account. :)
Posted by Cato the Younger Younger]]> Fri, 08 Feb 2013 13:48:04 -0800 The Stranger Oh, and remember when we were taking about how Seattle is Norway not San Francisco (bright colors versus muted).

Look, see, these are appropriate colors for place with lots of cloudy rainy days (Tumwater development):

Ok, well, even Vikings have to have a little color:

And if you don't believe me that Washington is Norway, go and watch "Trollhunter". Yes, it does look the same.

Posted by pbelamy]]> Fri, 08 Feb 2013 13:42:32 -0800 The Stranger I've noted more people adding emoticons to their FB posts.

I hate it.
