Widgetmakers are fated for a fun famine at Facebook's sold-out F8 conference. (Say that five times fast!) The problem I wish they'd work on: Stalking people on Facebook and other social apps requires a host of logins and passwords, inevitably mistyped or worse forgotten, that eat precious seconds of your day. Too bad Facebook's curtailed hackathon overlaps with BAIA's panel on the DataPortability project, whose campaign against social-network fatigue will make ruining your own privacy that much easier. A toast to that! Now, if you're in the mood for a real toast, OpenDNS's Systems Administrator's Appreciation Party is tonight. Troubleshoot your two left feet at Fluid Lounge with free alcohol and goodies galore. Do you think Terry Childs, the IT guy who brought down San Francisco's network, will show?
