Marriott_Tripographer_logoThe days of having friends over to go through your vacation photos is a thing of the past.  So to is uploading hundreds of photos with no real flow or engagement for people looking at the photos.  You no longer have to worry about making a boring vacation photo album thanks to Marriott Hotels.  They have released a new way to share your pictures in a fun, easy and stylishly way with an online application called Tripographer, it lets you edit images, put together slide shows and take your friends on an actual street-view tour of the places you’ve visited . . . narrated by you!

I tried it and chose last year’s family Disney Cruise trip to make my own Tripographer project. Being able to highlight the beautiful scenery of the various destinations we visited during our trip – Florida, Bahamas, Castaway Island – made our trip even more unforgettable. View Post

With the holidays taking up so much of our time these days it is sometimes easy to overlook what the holidays truly mean.  Before we can even sit down to enjoy a turkey dinner on Thanksgiving we are planning trips to midnight sales so we can get a deal on a $12 sweater of a $90 iPod.  Volkswagen has a very interesting collection of owner stories and videos showing how their lives can relate to the core principles of the VW brand – performance, design, quality, environment, and safety. One video that really struck me was a performance themes video featuring Andy.  He is a triathlete and in great shape. He could go out every day and train for a new personal best or to beat a bunch of other athletes, but he uses his ability to help another . He heads out in his GTI to help to train a blind athlete by biking with her and guiding her on her runs.  He can’t just decide one day to stop doing that because not only would he let himself down he would let down a person that truly depends on him to do something she loves and couldn’t do without him.

This is the time of year people need to think about what they can do to help others accomplish their goals.  What is your performance story?  How are you putting others before yourself?  Head on over to http://why.vw.com/values and share you story…be an inspiration for others, because with all the bad that we see every day we could use some good now and again.

Kylie Minogue’s new CD The Abbey Road Sessions features sixteen tracks, all radically reworked, spanning Kylie’s incredible twenty-five-year career. It was recorded in London’s legendary Abbey Road Studios with Kylie’s band and a full orchestra. The album features many of Kylie’s best-known hits and previously unreleased tracks. Over all sixteen tracks, one thing becomes very clear—stripped of her high-end pop production, the emotional resonance of Kylie’s songs has never been clearer, and her voice has never sounded better.

Fan or not, trust me this is indeed a stocking stuffer this holiday season.  Kylie showcases her voice instead of relying on the dance rhythms that have always been so integral to her style.   I especially love Track # 9 titled Slow and of course everyone’s favorite dance track Locomotion (track #10) and Can’t Get You Out Of My Head (track #11).  Kylie’s voice puts you in a mood unlike no other singer on this CD.

Kylie is a breast cancer survivor and donates her time to American Cancer Society, as well as amFAR for AIDS research.

Kylie’s latest single “Flower” is a song she wrote several years ago following her battle with breast cancer, to the child she wishes she might one day still have.

This album surprised me…In good way.  If you are looking for something new to add to your CD collection then this is it..it’ll put you in different mood, if you are having one of those days. A mellow, relaxing, lovely mood.

So, exclusively for you, listen to the album sampler below.
