Check Your Facebook Privacy Settings Easily

If you haven’t been living under a rock then you know about the recent Facebook privacy controversies.  I’ve read a lot of essays debating many issues, some disagreeing with one another and some agreeing.  From these essays I’ve found the salient issue to be Facebook’s lackluster attempt to educate their users on what information they are sharing.  Fortunate for us a new tool has been released that takes the guess work out of your Facebook Privacy Settings.  Called ReclaimPrivacy.org, it seeks to do just that.  I greatly encourage you to click over and scan your privacy settings.  Better to be safe then public!…or an equivalent idiom.

Oil Spill May Strike At Home

Like everyone else, I’ve been keeping a wary eye on the Gulf of Mexico oil spill.  It’s horrible, destructive, and the last attempt to fix it failed.  Fortunate for me and my East Coast friends we are out of harms way – at least for the time being.  Although a solution seems to have been found it may not have been soon enough to prevent the ooze from reaching a major ocean current that could carry it through the Florida Keys and up the East Coast. Not good.
