Sometimes I get into dry spells here at RJsCorner where I just can’t think of something for my daily posts. When that occurs I usually pull up a quote that strikes me from my list at iHearts143Quotes.com. That is the … Continue reading One Small Thought…
I know you are expecting something about the Mueller Report here but I am staying away from that until the dust settles some more. I don’t personally need to jump in on all the speculation. I’ll let other wallow in the mud for a while to see what sticks. But, it really won’t change my opinion of the guy in the Oval Office that much either way. It’s just a matter whether we add “treasonous” to his label or not. “Biggest Liar, Most Self-Centered, Most Spiteful, Most Ignorant, Most Untrustworthy, Uber Narcissist, Sexual Abuser president in the history of our … Continue reading March 31 – Sunday Snippets
For this Techie Saturday I want to give you a little history of the Windows/Mac battles that resulted in the computers we have today. You can’t be an official nerd until you know about it and have picked a side … Continue reading You Can’t Be a Nerd Until…
I have made it pretty clear here that I am an Amazon Prime member and have been for more years than I can remember. I was smart enough to add some Amazon stock to my IRA about ten years ago, … Continue reading About Amazon And Those Chinese Companies
There is just something about tools that fascinates me. I’m talking about all kinds of tools, wrench and screwdrivers, power tools, electronic tools like iPads and cell phones and yes, even apps. Anything to help me do a job better. … Continue reading I ❤️ Tools
Department of Irony: Republicans can’t stop howling about socialism. But nobody makes capitalism look worse than Donald Trump. I think I found a new mentor when it comes to life inside the beltway. She is Gail Collins, who is a … Continue reading The Department of Irony
If you haven’t guessed by now, I am a wordsmith. That is, I am always looking for just the right word for every sentence I write. Most of my posts are written a week or more before you see them. … Continue reading Documentary Photographer?
I get much of my inspiration about life in the US from the New York Times. They seem to have the best reporting and columnists in the country. That’s why I pay the big bucks ($4/month) for their daily feed. … Continue reading Nobody Makes Capitalism Look Worse…
Oh No!! – Not Beto I see where a one-term Texas Congressman has declared he wants to be president! Is this what our presidency has come down to? Yeah, he like Trump, has made a big flash in the pan so to speak. I have heard that he is a bigger narcissist than Trump! He does outrageous things like riding a skateboard and jumping on any lunch counter he can find. He could at least take off his shoes before he jumps on the counter so the waitress probably making minimum wage doesn’t have to spend hours cleaning up the … Continue reading Sunday Snippets – March 24, 2019
This Idiot’s guide to Technology post is about printers. In some cases, the old “You Get What You Pay For” just isn’t true anymore. Sometimes you get more than you paid for, and printers are generally in that case. The … Continue reading Techie Saturday – Printers

This post is going to be about those seniors among us who proclaim to be “proudly ignorant” of today’s technology. My wife and her brother are in that class. They proudly proclaim that they want as little as possible to … Continue reading Starting Your Car With A Buggy Whip.
I think most of you know that the title above is from Willian Shakespeare. But, do you actually know what it means? A longer quote is in the header above this post. I admit that I was a weird kid … Continue reading To Thy Own Self Be True…
I’m going to do a philosophical post of my own making for today. I will get back to studying others next week. With this post, I am certainly exercising the creative side. I will try to analyze the mind of … Continue reading Miracles And The First Century Mind….
I love thinking at the macro level. I guess my attitude is “think big or go home”. We have a lot of problems in this country that desperately need solutions. It would be great if one solution could solve multiple … Continue reading Two Birds With One Stone (aka Think Big)
Thinking They Are Above The Law…BUT It is interesting to see two different stories of wealthy people thinking that their money makes them above the law but then to discover it doesn’t. Paul Mannafort was sentenced to 7.5 years in federal prison for dozens of instances where he flaunted the law in several different areas included evading millions of dollars of taxes. But his sentence seemed pretty low to me. I still remember where a guy in my very red county was given six years for stealing a roll of wire from an electrical power yard! I wonder if the … Continue reading Sunday March 17 – Snippets
This Saturday, I want to clue you in on one of the most essential tools I have in following my favorite blogs. That tool is Feedly. Here is how they describe themselves. Feedly (click name to see the sign-up screen) … Continue reading Techie Saturday – About Feedly
Is democracy going to be that short 250 year period in earth’s history when we thought people could rule themselves? Given what has been happening the last decade or so, it seems we might not not up to the task. In the beginning of our American democracy Thomas Jefferson said: Are we up to that task today? It seems not. We in the US allowed a completely incompetent con-man to snake his way into the Oval Office. Anyone who cared to do even a minimal amount of study would have found that he was totally unprepared for the job. He … Continue reading The Twilight Of Democracy?
I spent some time last week fleshing out my thoughts about one of my foundations in life that drives my “Question Everything” attitude. I have been living it for some time now but just never got around to thinking it thoroughly through till now. I originally posted this on my special projects blog over at CrackingCreativity but thought it would be a good thing to also present it here: The Four Parts of our Personal Reality Spectrum What is Personal Reality? – I know that that this term has been used for a myriad of topics over the years but … Continue reading The Personal Reality Spectrum
Yesterday I told you a little about my car collection. I am so proud of the twenty-six vehicles in my stable. I promised you some pictures, so here they are. Oh, I guess I forget to tell you one little detail about my collection. :) They are 1/32 scale models sitting on the shelves behind me. I suspect you got the wrong impression of what I was talking about. It just goes to show you that even though everything I said yesterday was the truth, sometimes the truth can be stretched beyond recognition. That is why you should stick to … Continue reading About My Car Collection
