Hmm.  I keep getting nailed in reviews for not forward declaring variables, as a style thing. So like, would it make sense to do something like: 

```javascript
var parsedUrl,
    authbits,
    webmakerUrl;

//  if (try/catches) for url + app

parsedUrl = url.parse(blahblah);

//  if (try/catches) for authbits

authbits = whateves.split;
webmakerUrl = authbits[whateves]
```
