Pardon the weak attempt to mock / paraphrase Sally Field’s famous line from her acceptance speech at the Oscars, but I couldn’t resist. In an attempt to further my assimilation to facebook (because that is sort of how it feels), I’m embracing the application to the best of my ability and have placed this icon under each of my posts.

In theory, readers who click on this “like” icon will help me further tie my blog to facebook, but I remain somewhat suspect and unsure how. However, I have complete faith in Thom who helped me place the icon on my blog and want to thank him for his help and patience yesterday with all my facebook questions. Alas even this Mac / techie guru was not able to achieve what I was hoping (and assumed would be so easy to do). Who knew I maintained such high expectations? For the record that was a rhetorical question… I can only imagine the witty responses of friends and family to such an open ended question.

Anyway, have a wonderful Sunday.

Okay… So I’ve called in the FB-calvary and I think I may have finally set up my blog page on facebook correctly. If you follow or read my blog, would you please check out and see if you can find “BosGuy Blog” on facebook and if so follow / friend me or whatever the f*ck facebook people do.

Due to tomorrow being the Day of Silence I may be slow to respond, but leave a comment here if you can find and tag me on facebook. If you’re having issues let me know too.

Thank you blog-people.

Resistance is Futile
I’m capitulating… I’ve decided to dip my toe into the facebook pool. But as with all things related to technology, nothing is straight forward or simple and I’m not sure exactly what I’m doing. I have to admit that I view facebook the way I do tumblr; something I’ll give a try but I don’t really like very much (at least not just yet). I’m struggling to figure out how to set this up correctly, so I thought I would to turn to readers and ask for help.

Request to readers: I have set up a BosGuy Blog page (it is tied to the profile I created on fb initially called “Bos Guy”). Would you search on facebook for “BosGuy Blog” and then like or join or whatever it is that people are suppose to do? I’d like to direct everyone to the community page “BosGuy blog” vs “Bos Guy”. Since the blog page is set up as a community, I need a certain number of members for it to be legit in the eyes of facebook.

Request to bloggers: I have two initial questions, first would you join or link to my BosGuy blog community page. I tried to reach out to many of you through my gmail account but facebook keeps giving me an error. My second question is for Blogger users – Can I create a feed that will update my wall with my blogger postings?

A note to all: I may inadvertently block you or commit a variety of other fb faux pas as I get comfortable using it. Frankly setting up this page has put me in touch with the cantankerous old man I’m certain I’ll become so if something looks amiss shoot me an email; and preferably to my gmail account or here on blogger.
