Roll over “Friends” at the top of the screen
Click on “All Friends”
on the left, click “Make a new list”
Follow the prompts, make one called, say, “Coworkers” or “Exes”
Put anyone who currently falls into the new list category into it.

THEN:

Roll over “Settings” (top right)
Click on “Privacy”
Click on “Profile”

You should see the list of categories you can specify settings for.

Under, say, “Status Updates” click “Customize”
A box will pop up, with a section for “Except these people”
Start typing the name of your list (e.g. “Coworkers”).
It should autofill.

This will allow you to let everyone see something except for a list. (or an individual like your mom or whomever). The reverse is to make a list of people who can see things. Makes no difference to Facebook.

Did you know that internet week exists? I didn’t either. The story of the internet world can be told through these events.

My personal fave:

Tip #3: Don’t have kids.

Kids cost money. According to common knowledge, they cost upwards of $17,000 a year. Do you have a spare nearly 20 grand lying around? Perhaps you’d like to spend it on Legos and child-size skateboards that linger, unused, in the garage. In place of the car you had to sell. Or perhaps you’d like to just sign your paycheck over to Spongebob Squarepants? (He also takes Visa.)

Also, kids bring guilt. You’ve got to feed them something other than rice and beans and cheap scotch. This is a fine (even recommended) diet for a bachelor or barren couple, but kids require pre-packaged Kid Food that comes in neon colors and funny shapes, so don’t do it.

In order to prepare for — or perhaps offset — forthcoming financial disaster, 801a is bringing you tips to safeguard your business and savings account against the seemingly inevitable recession.

Tip #1: Cook your own meals.
Cooking your own lunch or dinner can save you up to $50 a week for one meal alone. Cooking your own lunch and dinner could save you $100 a week or more! Today’s Lunch Order will now be supplanted by the recipe of the day.
Check out this recipe for Sauteed Kale. I bet it’s almost as good as the $6 version at Egg in Williamsburg, but substantially more affordable.

More on this situation as it develops.
