Why we use Paleo or other Real Food diets for healing

FROT January 24, 2017

Why we use Paleo or other Real Food diets for healing The difference between dieting to lose weight and therapeutic diets for deeper healing. The idea for this post came to me after discussing this issue on someone else’s post. To many people, a diet is a diet is a diet. But there are different […]

I’M GIVING UP, I’M GOING TO QUIT

FROT December 7, 2016

I’M GIVING UP, I’M GOING TO QUIT It’s all too much for too little reward, and I can’t go on anymore. Now don’t panic, I don’t mean I’m going to quit Steemit, or even top myself. But I am going to quit arguing a controversial opinion on Steemit. Posting links to source images has become […]

HOT KARL ACTION – KICK ARSE ROCK MUSIC FROM THIS CENTURY

FROT November 27, 2016

HOT KARL ACTION – KICK ARSE ROCK MUSIC FROM THIS CENTURY Following on from my HOT BABOON ACTION CD compilation, and still armed with my trusty CD burner, I made my last compilation CD in 2009. It was called “HOT KARL ACTION” (2004-2008) Several times since I’ve had a crack at doing another one, but […]

SIX CHANGES I’D LOVE TO SEE ON STEEMIT

FROT October 3, 2016

SIX CHANGES I’D LOVE TO SEE ON STEEMIT Not being a tech boffin, I have no idea how to do any of this stuff or even if it would actually work. Very possibly there is a chat area filled with people discussing these sorts of thoughts. But what the hell, here is my two cents […]

The South Island of New Zealand

FROT September 30, 2016

The South Island of New Zealand One of the world’s most beautiful places. Despite living in Wellington, the nearest city in the world to the South Island, I’ve only actually been there on ten occasions. Catching the ferry for the three and a half hour journey across the Cook Strait almost feels like going to […]

Did Facebook kill off email?

FROT September 29, 2016

Did Facebook kill off email? Up until around 10 years ago, email was a popular means of communication – we sent emails to people we knew, and they sometimes replied to them. But as Facebook really started to take off, the idea of private communication became redundant. If nobody could see your message and comment […]

STEEMIT VS WORDPRESS

FROT September 27, 2016

STEEMIT VS WORDPRESS Some people are saying “Steemit will replace WordPress”. But I think they can co-exist happily, and I plan to keep using both. At this point Steemit looks to me to be a whole new technology, a complete paradigm shift. It might be compared to home computers, the internet, or the printing press. […]

The killer thumbnail image – HOT CLICK BAIT

FROT September 25, 2016

The killer thumbnail image – HOT CLICK BAIT Can the right thumbnail image pull in viewers like a flock of birds to a moldy loaf of bread? A sub-culture that has long paid attention to front cover images is magazine publishing. Particularly magazines with no real content, who rely on totally superficial impulse purchases. That […]

This new Steemit photo geek thing

FROT September 24, 2016

This new Steemit photo geek thing The hot new trend on Steemit seems to be to post a single photo with nothing else with it but some photo geek tech specs. Typically this will be something along the lines of Canon SX666, ISO 666, 66mm, 6 ev, f/6.6, 1/66. Clearly, for some people, this information […]

IT’S BEYOND OUR CONTROL

FROT September 21, 2016

IT’S BEYOND OUR CONTROL “Whatever is going to happen will happen, whether we worry or not” – is an excellent quote from Ana Monnar The wisdom inherent in that saying is vast. People are endlessly addicted to worrying – from my mother to about half of everyone who posts anything on the internet. Self help […]
