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.

I am with 801a in spirit at the WGDFC regionals at Pentagram, but in physical form I am at the New York Times having a news emergency. So, as a bench-warming team-member, I will make lemons into lemonade (!) and report the movements, the triumphs, the heartbreaks of the 801a-ers LIVE to everyone chained to their computers at 7pm on a Friday.

Apparently, our fair studio-mates Renda and Andrew have played their first round against formidable opponents C&G Partners. “Andrew and I lost our first match, but it was close. We’re playing again in the losers’ bracket,” writes Renda via text message. The score was 2-5.

More TKTK

THIS JUST IN.
Apparently, 801a’s new opponents will be either the New York Times Op-Ed page, or Pure + Applied (Andy’s alma matter). Conflict of interest? Go get-em team!

Team Louise Fili.

7:55 COMPETITION IS HEATED!
In a bizarre master/pupil match-up, Team 801a headed up by Andy Pressman and Geoff Allman beats out Pure + Applied for a close 5-4 victory. The two teams were in a dead heat 4-4. The crowd was riveted. Pressman scores in possibly the biggest foosball move of his young life.

Our next competititor will be fellow DUMBO-ites Big Spaceship. More TKTK.

Note: This photo is staged!!!

I think this guy is interested in the desk.

BREAKING NEWS! 801A DEFEATED 5-0!

Big Spaceship beat 801-a in Round 3. Says Renda via text message, “They had a bad spirit!”
A rematch is sure to be forthcoming.
I am reporting live from the New York Times. My art director says, I can’t believe you are doing this.

This is Big Spaceship.
Andrew calls the game “technically legal.”

awesome, yeah. we should be friends and make the outing happening
again sometimes! but not the sort of internet friend on myspace,
facebook, or linked-in or nuttin that we don’t actually communicate
or meet.

This is why Masa is a good person. Every time I get another Linked-In invitation I shed a baby tear.
