facebook applications and privacy
If you've ever accepted a facebook application, you know the drill. Usually it will say something to the effect of "we have access to all your information now." Essentially, you are adding that application's developer/company as a friend.
One thing you may not be aware of is the fact that, if a friend of yours adds an application, it might now have access to any information your friend can see about you.
Some people (like myself) are not a big fan of that. Here's how to stop it:
Personally, I choose to eliminate any information for those applications, like so:
Good luck, and feel free to leave any questions in the comments.
facebook connect testing
For some while now, my blog has been able to accept comments via OpenID. That means, if you have an account with Blogger, WordPress.com, LiveJournal, Yahoo, Flickr, MySpace, or any other OpenID provider, you can use that website address to leave comments without providing your Name or e-mail to the blog.
Most of my readers come from Facebook, though, and leave comments on the imported notes there. Now, they can leave comments straight on the blog via Facebook Connect (thanks to Otto's amazing Simple Facebook Connect plugins). Just by using the "connect with Facebook" button, you can log in via facebook to leave comments. This will also allow you to publish your comments to your feed, if you choose.
If anyone is willing to test this comment system for me, feel free to give it a go on this post.
Thanks!

What exactly are you trying to say, Facebook?
You don't have to push me there any faster than I'm already going!
which one of these doesn’t look like the other?
These are some screenshots I've picked up on facebook over the past week or so. I thought this arrangement was interesting.
Good to know facebook and true.com have my best interest at heart.
If you're up for more poignant sermonizing -- consider the lesson above, little Christian. May we all tread boldly, lest the body of Christ be rendered a sheep in wolf's clothing.
home movies
If you have a sibling, and you aren't as close to them as you should be, then call them. Give them a hug. Build on that relationship. I say this because God has blessed me with a really awesome brother, and I would hate for you all to miss out on that kind of closeness.
The mushy stems from the visit I had with Leslie and Sara this weekend in North Carolina. I took my camera, but unfortunately took no pictures. Who does that? The visit was great though. It'd been too long since I'd seen Leslie. I got to see his humongous office at the Church where he works, and we played some marathon pingpong. Other activities included lots of NFL Blitz on Gamecube and driving among the majestic Blue Ridge mountains.
I thought that Leslie and I might grow more distant after he got married, but I'm pleased to say that hasn't happened. In fact, I've gained a very cool sister-in-law. I realized she was cool when she did Tae Bo in front of people without stopping out of embarrassment. That's how I feel about DDR, so I give her kudos. You might remember from one of my previous posts that I have spent some time hanging out with Sara's sister, Christianna, in Montreal. It was good to get to know the other Blouin sister a little bit better. Needless to say, I'm really pleased with Leslie's choice in a wife.
Leslie and Sara also introduced me to one of their friends, Beulah. They told me she was very cool, and I'm beginning to agree. Here are some reasons why: 1) She has a 3-legged dog. 2) Her Dad and brother play bluegrass. 3) She watched an entire season of Home Movies with me at Leslie and Sara's in one sitting. And she liked it. Anyone who likes that show the first time has got to be okay.
One other thing Beulah did was convince me to finally sign up for Facebook. So now I've got a profile there. If you're so inclined, feel free to add me there. I love talking to my friends, both old and new.
That's all for now, but I shall post again soon, with pics from this week! Stay tuned...
