A Fresh Start
This post from 2014 wasn’t the first time I had posted in this space, but it was a beginning after a false start. Since August 30, 2014 I have posted almost 2,700 times in this space. I’m not sure oif tehre is any way of measuring, but that is probably more than a million words. […]
That Time of Year
I’m going to be a little self-indulgent today and talk about me. And you. And our time together. As August winds down, it is anniversary time here at Random Thoughts From Lorne. If I had been thinking, I would have given this blog a better name. Hindsight is always, as the cliche goes, 20-20. According […]
Almost Unplugged
I took my computer with me on vacation. But I never turned it on. Never even took it out of the bag. At first it wasn’t deliberate. I figured as soon as we had less than perfect beach weather I would get caught up on personal email and check both work emails. But the first cloudy […]
I’m Back (I Hope)
It feels strange to be back in Canada after four weeks on the road. So much has happened during that time. I’m actually writing those words while traveling on a train in Germany. I’m scheduling for them to be posted the morning after my return flight, when I expect to be a little jet-lagged and […]
Down The Mental Rabbit Hole
I used to follow a blog where the author ran out of things to say. Actually, I still follow it, but I realized yesterday that it must be at least six months, maybe a year, since the last post. (I just checked – more than a year.) I suppose it is possible he died. At least […]
Censorship?
This week music streaming service Spotify removed all music by Neil Young, at his request. He gave the company an ultimatum – either he or blogger Joe Rogan had to go. He felt Rogan was spreading false information about COVID-19 vaccines. Young didn’t want to be associated in any way with Rogan’s position. Spotify chose […]
Wecome to 2022!
It has become an annual tradition. At the beginning of January I post the top ten most viewed posts here from the previous year. Maybe it is a leftover from my radio days and those end-of-year countdowns. Those posts will start tomorrow. This year I have noticed a real difference. And it isn’t only that […]
Advice For Bloggers
I tend not to give writing tips on this site. Some people have suggested I should, but there are plenty of writing resources on the internet, so there is no need to add my perspective. Plus, I figure if you aren’t paying for it you will probably ignore it. But I couldn’t resist sharing this […]
Just So You Know
I’ve been doing some math equations, and the results are disturbing. I looked at all the tasks I must accomplish today, and the hours available. Then I divided one by the other. The answer was mathematically correct, but pretty much physically impossible. I’m not giving up eating or sleeping (at least not yet). But […]
Welcome to 2020!
Happy New Year! Despite what you may have read elsewhere, it is not the first day of a new decade. That comes on January 1, 2021. I have no idea how or when the idea started that decades begin with zero. I guess if enough people accept something wrong as true, it magically becomes true. […]
