New LJ "feature" you may want to opt out of

LJ has added a new "feature" that allows people to find your username based upon your email address. If you don't like that idea, go to the Edit Profile page, scroll down twice to "Contact Info" and under "Find by email" pick your choice.

Edit: This means if you signed up with an email address that your coworkers or students know, that they can find your account! Be scared! Go fix it!

MoreEdit: Apparently it actually defaults (sensibly) to you being unfindable, but I still would rather set it manually to unfindable.

Take The Famous (and Not So Famous) Art Quiz

Considering how bad I was at art history in high school, this must've been a remarkably easy quiz - and up until the last page with photographers/sculptors, I really did find it easy. AFAI can tell, I got only one wrong prior to that last page (Monet/Manet), and only one right on that last page. The creator of the quiz did pick paintings/artists with distinct styles, but also put the choices as people from the same time period and similar general styles of art, so it wasn't all no-brainers, but still not as difficult as it could have been. I'd've liked to see the answers next to the actual paintings at the end.
