One of my favorite fic writers,

runpunkrun, has now produced some vital non-fic:

Google's corporate motto "don't be evil" has now been simplified to the much more concise "be evil"

Xe's done the legwork, folks, and it's not pretty. In particular, Google wants to consolidate your YouTube identity with your Google Mail identity. If you wish to keep your fannish and RL pursuits separate, follow the link and learn the steps to take.

Ah, thanks for explaining. I love "curmudgeon-rich room." Turns the whole concept on its head! I was using "curmudgeon" as a stand-in for "too critical," but I think the more positive meanings apply as well. Double-binds do make people grumpy, after all. (Don't have boundaries? Your fault you got invaded. Do have boundaries? Too curmudgeonly!)

Sounds like I need more curmudgeons in my life!

Spot on re: the boundaries.

As with all things, moderation is good. Old people are stereotypically curmudgeons, although it's quite possible to have ossified layers of experience and opinion while still in the generative age.

I am a lemons from lemonade sort, when not provoked. Being surrounded by experts with decades of experience was at first intimidating, then thrilling, then annoying, then unremarkable.
