Kill me; I’m on Facebook

It finally happened: I setup a Facebook page.

Don’t get excited. My primary means of communication, listed in order of their important to me, are still: face-to-face, phone, IM, e-mail, and social networking. That means that I won’t be spending every waking hour on Facebook, so please don’t get sad if I don’t friend you right away. I plan to keep my Facebooking to the weekends right now.

As an open-source guy (not a fanatic), I’m leery about putting a lot of information and content in the hands of some company. My blogs shall remain here, my photos shall remain here, etc. After all, what’s the point of running your own domain if you won’t stick to your guns?

Like all things, this is an experiment. Largely, it’s a means to an end. Since a great deal of communication takes place on Facebook these days, I want to make sure I have that avenue open in case I need it for research, or keeping in touch with students.

That said, my sister has already gone and put graffiti all over my Wall. Bad sister! No biscuit.
