More Random Thoughts

  • 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!

  1. 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. 🙂

    1. 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.

  2. 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!

  3. 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.
