Catalog Unsubscribing

I make it a routine task to request removal from any and all catalogs that show up in our mailbox. Sometimes there is a bit of detective work to get removed from them, they don’t go out of their way to make it obvious. This made me wonder why email is required to have an unsubscribe method clearly displayed while catalogs and regular mail don’t have any requirement.
There should be a requirement for unsubscribe information to be presented plainly and near the mailing label. In fact, how about a URL printed for each mailing address that unsubscribes that address? Heck, I might even use a QR code for that!
There is something so beautiful about running water and snow.
Espresso and snow.
Linode NextGen: RAM Upgrade ← Love to see Linode doing great stuff. My server is migrating now.
Sure snow in April isn’t exactly welcome, but it is pretty. 📷
I can’t wait to fire up both Big Green Eggs soon. I need to get some grilling going!
Seriously; so good. Espresso!
Excited to hang out with Mike Rock tonight for what I’m positive will be yet another great evening with amazing food and friends!
So awesome to be able to be outside getting the yard ready, fire going and just having a nice time. Yeah for spring!
