The Kenmore Elite 72053 Refrigerator Is Magnetic!

, , , ,

Here I thought the stainless steel Kenmore Elite Model 72053 (31-cu ft) refrigerator did not have a magnetic surface. I am wrong, or partially wrong at least.

Out of pure randomness, we passed a magnet near the behemoth’s surface, and it stuck! But it’s only in the upper left corner where the ice maker is. And the magnetism isn’t strong. Don’t expect to attach large or heavy objects. Pictures and single sheets of paper are okay. Anything else starts sliding down the surface. “Magnetic stickers” work well though to get your refrigerator in the seasonal spirit.

What’s a Photo Consent Form?

, ,

So you take professional pictures at a portrait studio, and you want to use one of these shots for a Christmas card. Can you design a card using one of these pictures and mass produce them at Costco?

Supposedly yes, if you get the release and photo consent forms from the portrait studio (by purchasing the portrait). But what does a typical consent form look like? I don’t think it’s an .ini file on a burned CD that contains the image. But that’s what we’re being told is the consent form. I’m no Microsoft Windows expert, but don’t .ini files contain configuration settings for apps? Using a text editor, the .ini file looks like a typical “innie” file with a bunch of parameters and their values.

I’ll see what happens when I take a print out of this .ini file (as instructed by the portrait studio) to Costco to authorize the release of our Christmas cards. Maybe Costco won’t even check? I’m not sure how this works, but I’ll find out soon enough.
