Friendster’s closing down this week. Head on over, and use the exporter to preserve your 2003-era profile (including photos and “testimonials”) in amber before it vanishes into the pre-Zuckerburg mists of time. Then, weep for the desiccated remains of your lost youth!
Here is a “testimonial” from my old Louisville art supply store chum Ted Nathanson from 2005, that period when I was still in transition between lives and spending a lot of time driving up and down 90, 94, 35 and 65 (and drinking in bars in Chicago, Madison, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Minneapolis). I find Ted’s comments here at least halfway prophetic, from the vantage point of my mid American early thirties.
