Check your Face­book pri­vacy set­tings, if you use it. Appar­ently by default Face­book allows your pro­file photo to be used by 3rd party adver­tis­ers to pro­mote ser­vices to your friends. Face­book sez, “Don’t mind us, we’re just whor­ing out your pho­tos” You can turn this off by log­ging into Face­book using Inter­net Explorer (Fire­fox will not work) and click­ing “Pri­vacy Set­tings” under the “Set­tings” drop­down in the top right cor­ner, select­ing “News Feed & Wall” set­tings, and click­ing on the “Face­book Ads” tab at the top. Update: Accord­ing to this source, phở­tos aren’t avail­able to 3rd party adver­tis­ers after all. Maybe.

I’ve been so very busy. Grad­u­at­ing from law school, then prepar­ing for the bar. The bar is in a week and a half (last Tues-​​​​Thurs in July) and I’m start­ing to feel the stress. I’m also just now in the mid­dle of a house move which must be com­pleted by the day after the last day of the bar exam, so that’s a bit stress-​​​​inducing there, too. So I’m still going to be gone for a while. I hope in August to get up to one post a week again, and we’ll see how it goes. In the mean­while, I need to fig­ure out how to use this “twit­ter” [ . . . ]
