Facebook Timeline: Updating Your Privacy Settings

After months of delays Facebook's new Timeline feature is finally here and, as promised, it's actually a pretty great addition to the site. It isn't a mandatory change (at least not yet it's not) so you'll need to manually switch over to the new system by clicking here. Once you've done so you'll have up to one week to play around with the settings to your liking before your new page is made public.

Of course, new Facebook updates also mean new Facebook privacy settings, and because Timeline is an entirely new feature your previous settings won't automatically limit the amount of information you share. Here's how to fix that:

A Tribute to George Gershwin

Because everyone should give "Rhapsody in Blue" a listen at least once in their lifetime.

The Art of the Brick

I'm not sure how they were able to pull it off but the fine folks over at the Mulvane Art Museum somehow managed to land one of Nathan Sawaya's "The Art of the Brick" exhibits for the residents of Topeka earlier this summer. The collection (one of three currently circling the world) features pieces made entirely out of Lego, and they are incredibly detailed. Below are some of my favorites from what I was able to see, but if you want to see more then make sure to check out Sawaya's website for pictures of some of the stuff in his other exhibits as well as new stuff he's working on in his studio. And remember, you have until September 18th to check it out for yourself, so get on that!
