Why are there so many more people willing to drink coffee than there are willing to make a new pot?
I know they are trying to be helpful, but I wish that the people who constantly post links on Facebook to articles they find interesting would be a little less helpful.
There’s a woman who writes a column for Forbes that does a podcast, a blog, an e-mail newsletter and a You Tube channel about cutting clutter and getting organized. Isn’t that kind of self-defeating?
Why do people (when they are driving) worry so much about which lane they are in when they are only racing to the next red light? I suppose that probably represents the way they live their lives.
Do you realize how much more smoothly traffic would flow if people paid just a little teeny bit more attention?
My days got a lot less stressful once I decided that I didn’t have to be the first person at work. I’m happy to let someone else claim that title. Same goes with the last person to leave.
A successful class is one where the students come away with the knowledge they had hoped to gain from the instructor. A really successful class is one where the instructor learns from the students, too.
If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, it’s no wonder that photographers are (usually) so friendly.
Based on a lot of the photographs I’ve seen lately, Viveza should come with a volume limit. Only after approval from a pre-determined number of one’s peers should they be able to go over a certain (low!) limit. A little bit goes a long way, people!
How ironic is it that since I moved my blog to a WordPress site I have had to install a filter to block all of the spam comments. Since March 1 I have received 864 spam comments – all blocked by Akismet – and a whopping 1 legitimate comment. I don’t do much better on Facebook. It’s a good thing I write for my own enjoyment!

I agree with all of the links on Facebook. I was just thinking this morning how few of my friends actually post a status. Most will either post a link or a photo… nothing wrong with photos of course (wink, wink) but if that’s all you post, it’s a bore.
Well, I guess I’ll be the boring one! At one time I used to be concerned with Status updates but I spend so little time on Facebook proper that I can’t be bothered. Thanks for the comment, though.
great reading Tom!
Jim, thanks for reading! And commenting!
Why is it that I am always tempted to answer the questions you pose on your blog? I guess that means you have managed to get my attention!
I had to go to Google to find out what exactly was Viveza. Now that I see what it is, I wouldn’t use it! Great post, Tom.
