Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I can't stand Rachael Ray.
Still, she's not as bad as Emeril.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Jason Bruges’s Memory Wall, installed in Madrid’s new Hotel Puerta América, watches what its room’s inhabitants are wearing, and colors the interior to match.
I'm waiting for one that changes to complementary colors. Far more useful than simply matching. (I do like the lamp shade, though).
This seems to go along with one of themes of yesterday's Natter. [link]
I am so not dressed for public viewing, but I am wearing yoga pants and really thick yarn socks that I bought 8-9 months ago. Everything else is old and worn (and very comfortable).

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Oh, she's worse. When he's not in front of a live audience, Emeril can at least cook some damn good food. Rachel Ray's only talent is perkiness.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Say your alma mater announces that they've put together an alumni directory, and they're going to publish your last known address and e-mail, and it would only be available to other alumni. If you want out, you have to opt-out... after the directory is published. Are you OK with that, or would your privacy-dar explode from overuse?
I would be thoroughly pissed off. To the extent that I would stop paying my alumni association dues and tell them exactly why.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Did the alumni see any sort of privacy agreement before they gave over their information?
The polite answer is opt out before publishing. I would be very angry (though without recourse, depending on a pre-existing privacy agreement I'd accepted) if they did that to me, becaue there are alumni I very definitely don't want to be able to get in touch with me. One in particular, a CSV of whose addressbook popped up on the web last time I did a vanity Google. Luckily the e-mail address was near ten years old, but still.

I've never given my address to the alumni assoc. and yet they always seem to find me.

And Rachael Ray's voice is nails on the chalkboard for me. Ugh.
