Internet advertising: Depending on your annoyance level, there are cures 
for that.
If you browse with Firefox, an add-in called "ad-bloc pro" will quietly 
prevent most of those from ever appearing.
Even though it is called "pro", it is free.

I link with some family and some others I know and like. I can block 
people I stop liking, though I haven't done that much.
Facebook is a convenient place to post pics of some of my projects.

My own website is semi-business, and I really need a better way to 
divide personal from business.
That's a work in progress.
Like the rest of life.

Cheers
Jay
