So, I am sitting in a pretty fun meeting: Facebook. We're working on getting EFY up and running with Facebook (an application, or whatever). Anyway, not sure if any of you are on there, but I am now--for work, I guess, or whatever. Nice to get paid to find people from my past...

Interesting. I guess there are many youth who use it so it's a good idea

It's more for an alumni thing as well (I don't really understand it all), but should be neat if we can get it going.

Interesting. I have a facebook account, more to be able to look up other people than anything else. I rarely log in. Today I did just 'cuz you brought it up...what hits me on my facebook home page? A picture of Obama in an advert from Moveon.org giving away free Obama buttons. He's sure after the young voters.

I've got a facebook account too. I used to use it more than I do now. Since it's enormous popularity growth (4th most trafficked website in the world -- http://www.facebook.com/press/info.php?statistics) they've added extra things and allowed outside developers to develop obnoxious applications on their platform -- No offense to your application you're working on Erica -- I'm hoping it's not the obnoxious type. I went into my security settings and had it block every outside application from having access to my account. Facebook is actually a brilliant idea for an address-book type thing, letting users update their own information which updates it for everyone else who needs to look them up -- which is why I keep it around (I could see Gmail using that idea some day in users contacts). Every now and then I'll use it to contact people I don't have other means of communication with, or post a little funny something.

Dad, I got your friend request. My advice to a person like you using facebook is just to disable all email notifications and put your notifications on an RSS reader. And find the way to disable the applications.

Amen

No offense taken. I don't even really know what an application is, but I think they're trying to use it as an alumni page of sorts. Something like that.

THIS GUY   has to be having a hard time right now in Utah trying to make a name for himself and selling his music given that THIS GUY has quite a musical history too and has more press coverage.   Some people are just born to have bad luck.

Lots of fun happening around here. Kiera going through daddy-withdrawls after steve had to start school again. Poor little lady. Kiera has started trying to draw pictures of people now (see photo above). Kiera has officially mastered the VCR. She knows how to work it and what all of the buttons do. (I'll bet there are some 70 year olds who don't know as much as she does at age 2). Lydia has been enjoying a few firsts lately. We gave her rice cereal last night for the first time which she was apparently more than ready for (see video), we've put her in a doorway jumper which she likes although she hasn't figured out the jumping part yet. Oh, and for those of you who have been to NM lately, you'll appriciate this: Steve and I plan on applying to a government program that is somewhat like the military in that they pay for your schooling; but instead of steve being in a branch of the military, he will owe the government years of his life serving in one of th...
