I was a motorsport journalist for 18 years (wish I still could be!). Founding member of GPLEA. Now I'm just this guy, you know? I compose and arrange ragtime.


















Time changes are dumb. Let's fix them. Did you know our current timezones were drawn by the railroads 140 years ago? Let's modernize them with what I'm calling the "Sunrise Rule"... using actual solar data. Use 5 timezones and target the latest sunrise of the year at around 8:20 AM, and we get this map. It ain't perfect, but it works. Currently the US swings between UTC-4 and UTC-8 throughout the year, that's 5 zones we rotate through, crammed into 4 at any given moment. Why not just use all 5 and leave it be? Every time Congress tries to fix DST, they keep the same 4 zones and it fails because northern cities end up with 9 AM sunrises. No dark mornings AND more evening light. Daylight Savings crowd wins. Standard time crowd wins. No more clock changes. Everybody wins.

The White House's official TikTok posted an AI video of U.S. hockey star Brady Tkachuk calling Canadians "maple syrup eating f***s." Tkachuk addressed the video: "It's not my voice. It's not what I was saying. I would never say that. That's not who I am."
