4 Ways to Schedule Time For Yourself – Tungle.me Blog (via Brazen Careerist)
One of the things I love about traveling is catching up on the randomness of the world through in-flight magazines. At this very moment I’m sitting on a flight to NOLA (!) and reading the June issue of Southwest Airlines Spirit. As expected in the Business Pitch section I discovered one of those “I wish I had thought of this” smartness that is so simple, yet I’m sure will become a fav. Key Ring Rewards Cards is a free app that scans a digital copy of your rewards cards using a barcode reader. “When you shop, just pull up the card and let the cashier scan the screen (works on iPhone & Android). You can access more than 700 rewards programs and coupons from retailers like Borders, CVS, and Best Buy, while adding local businesses with the customize tool.” Not only is this a great idea, but it was developed by Ross Bates and Chris Fagan who is co-founder of Dallas-based Mobestream Media. This of course means automatic cool points!

Stuff N' Things
According to the latest Census Bureau numbers, released today, Dallas-Fort Worth was the fastest-growing metro area in the whole of the USA in the past decade. We added 1.3 million people, up 25 percent over the year 2000. We’re still No. 4 in terms of metro size, with a good bit to go before we could catch Chicago at No. 3 (with about 9.6 million to our 6.5 million).
And please don’t read too much into my joke of a headline. I’ve got no problem with someone who chooses to buy a much bigger house way out in Frisco, even if they work in downtown Dallas and transform themselves into road-raging maniacs because of the 2 to 3 hours they have to spend on the road commuting each day. It’s not my own choice, but I know just how much value some people place on a good-sized yard, better schools for the kids, and a monster-sized family room. To each his own.
