Jan 03 2012
Do you ever find yourself sifting through a pile of paper at your desk looking for your meeting notes and those few to-do items? Or, have you mistakenly throw away that action item for this week’s deadline? This has certainly happened to me (d'oh!), so I decided to try something new. I picked up a small, magnetic dry erase board from Urban Outfitters for about $10 for my work station. It’s a... read more

Flashback Fridays: More Photos From Before June 18, 1971

Jun 24 2011
I hope you aren’t too tired of photos from 1971, but I found another batch to share with you this week.  All of these photos appear to have been taken before June 18, 1971, which as you know was the day we began operation.  I used a magnifying glass to look at the name tags in the black and white photos, and they are labeled “Southwest Airlines Preview.”  The attendees, judging by... read more
