Back to the Basics
I apologize for being MIA - I was away on business/vacation...but now I'm back!
OK, so I'm currently trying to put together marketing pieces for my company and I'm beginning to realize how much of a pain it is to find a happy medium between company colors and the colors I'd prefer to use. In a conversation with a friend (an artist) about my dilemma, she suggested using complimentary colors. Genius! I mean, I knew that - I just hadn't referred to a color wheel in forever.
Study up on your complimentary colors - it will make life easier when trying to design something online. Thanks Katherine!

Applicable From Old Skool to New Skool
A man has a property in his opinions and the free communication of them.
James Madison
Think like a wise man but communicate in the language of the people.
William Butler Yeats
A world community can exist only with world communication, which means something more than extensive short-wave facilities scattered; about the globe. It means common understanding, a common tradition, common ideas, and common ideals.
Robert M. Hutchins
To be social is to be forgiving.
Robert Frost
To effectively communicate, we must realize that we are all different in the way we perceive the world and use this understanding as a guide to our communication with others.
Anthony Robbins
Good communication is as stimulating as black coffee, and just as hard to sleep after.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh

Don't Forget Your Mints!
Airlines are jumping onto the Social Media wave. How - you ask? Well, I'll tell you...
They are developing web-based seating assignments, creating their own inbound social networks, and finding a way for passengers to stay in touch after their flight lands. This will allow travelers to connect, whether that be for friendly convo, romance or to find fellow backpackers. Sites like vtravelled and Dopplr , already allow you to do just that, but airlines now want a piece of the pie.
My thoughts:
While some business travelers were incredibly disappointed they woud no longer be getting ‘work breaks’ while in flight due to the internet being accesible in air (boo hoo) – I am incredibly on board with this idea.
I’ve read about people who marry after meeting on flights, I’ve seen friends evolve from it and I personally have met many fellow backpackers aboard flights. I think there has always been a strong social component to traveling and its about time the aviation industry take advantage of it.
