Norwegian launched the new campaign Win a Plane (Vind a fly) where you and your 40 friends can win the plane and travel to the self chosen destination in Europe. Sounds like fun to win your plane. After all traveling is social. The idea is to gather people together and give them the day of fun and great treatment.
You can join the competition her on Vind et Fly site.
Besides you can follow Norwegian on Twitter. As well as see updated from competition on news site .
Overwhelmed by pandemic of bad news from finance crisis to swine flu. Being bombarded with news that are more sensational than factual, more and more people get paralyzed by the fear of travel and contact with other people We need a break, we need a moment to enjoy and share with others. 13,500
people spontaneously sang Hey Jude together in Trafalgar Square.
Everyone involved arrived thinking they could be dancing - no-one had
any idea how the event would unfold. The next part of Life is for Sharing campaign.

Technology is a glittering lure that means nothing without contributing significantly to our life, either making it easier or more exciting. The more technological development progress, the more exciting opportunities appear. As mentioned before it is all about the idea and the right context to use it and make it useful. This is one impressive example, called object-based media from Touch - a research group exploring the way mobile phones communicate with the physical world. One of their latest experiments involves attaching an RFID reader to an iPhone. When the phone is close enough to an RFID tag attached to certain objects, different actions or windows are triggered on the phone.

Signs are omnious in our life. They are everywhere conveying the messages, information and ideas. Signs make people communicate. Signs help us to uderstand the world. Signs connect people. Sometimes we oversee the signs, sometimes we seek for them hoping to find the answer or happiness. I've spent the last couple of weeks searching for signs to tell me everything is going be fine. I found signs that made me strong. Sometimes you just have to watch more carefully around...
Nassim Nicholas Taleb, author of The Black Swan, gives his 10 rules for surviving an unpredictable world with dignity:
1 Skepticism is effortful and costly. It is better to be skeptical about matters of large consequences, and be imperfect, foolish and human in the small and the aesthetic.
2 Go to parties. You can’t even start to know what you may find on the envelope of serendipity. If you suffer from agoraphobia, send colleagues.
3 It’s not a good idea to take a forecast from someone wearing a tie. If possible, tease people who take themselves and their knowledge too seriously.
4 Wear your best for your execution and stand dignified. Your last recourse against randomness is how you act — if you can’t control outcomes, you can control the elegance of your behavior. You will always have the last word.
5 Don’t disturb complicated systems that have been around for a very long time. We don’t understand their logic. Don’t pollute the planet. Leave it the way we found it, regardless of scientific ‘evidence’.
6 Learn to fail with pride — and do so fast and cleanly. Maximize trial and error — by mastering the error part.
7 Avoid losers. If you hear someone use the words ‘impossible’, ‘never’, ‘too difficult’ too often, drop him or her from your social network. Never take ‘no’ for an answer (conversely, take most ‘yeses’ as ‘most probably’).
8 Don’t read newspapers for the news (just for the gossip and, of course, profiles of authors). The best filter to know if the news matters is if you hear it in cafes, restaurants... or (again) parties.
9 Hard work will get you a professorship or a BMW. You need both work and luck for a Booker, a Nobel or a private jet.
10 Answer e-mails from junior people before more senior ones. Junior people have further to go and tend to remember who slighted them.

It's good add on to my previous post on life being a succession of moments.

A movie being made by a movement.We don't have time to wait for another generation.
We, humans wouldn't survive without the ability and possibility to communicate. Communication and collaboration with others is what helps the herd to survive and make progress, develop and create. Collaboration was rather limited by the physical space. Internet added the new feature to our herd experience, it removed borders and enhanced the power of people and power of collaboration. Suddenly, what for 50 years was unthinkable, has become a reality today. 237 people from all over the world, joined the project Age of Conversation: Why don't they get it and created stories. 237 not only shared their thoughts and contributed to the collective mind and understanding of the times we are living in, but also thanks to Drew and Gavin wanted to give back to society and give the money earned on selling the book to charity.
I am happy to be a part of this project. And below you will the list of all contributors.
As of Wednesday, October 29, 8 A.M. (U.S. EST) the Age of Conversation 2 will be available for purchase at Lulu So, don't wait, just go and buy it, either in e-book version or hard copy.
You can read more about the project, listen to interviews with authors, got to know who they are on the Age of Conversation 2 blog as well as follow updates on AOC2 Twitter

"If one spent one's whole day working and sleeping there would be no time for observation, let alone thought." (Thomas Pynchon)
It goes without saying.
"Take an apple or two" . I've stumbled upon this box this afternoon. It seems like someone had too many apples and decided to share. Nice gesture. People share by nature.
Incredible video. I imagine it must be even stronger when seen in HD quality.Watch, stop and think...
I've come across an interesting news site Link TV that broadcasts programs that engage, educate and activate viewers to become involved in the world. Link TV mission is about giving people broader perspective on news and covering topics that aren't available in the US media. Lots of interesting news and topics covered. It is really worth exploring.
It is a good example of online taking role of educating people. I had an interesting discussion today about media literacy among youth today. The conclusion was that youth today lack tools for filtering and coping with the information overload. I've observed the tendency for taking the first information available for granted, they express rarely any criticism toward what they find on Google or watch in TV. There is definitely the need for this type of initiatives that have educational aspect and show diversity.
