“Then along came skiplagged.com” to #Save You $ through “unfriendly skies”

"This has been a dirty little secret of the travel industry for a really long time."
Then along came Skiplagged, and your average traveler suddenly knew about the "hidden-city". Is it illegal/prohibited for Travelers or potential Customers to know of such important Info that can save them money?

With little more than a mattress on the floor, Aktarer Zaman's tiny New York apartment serves as the hub of Skiplagged's operations. While airfares seem to continue its upward rates, Zaman, who is a computer whiz found a way to save hundreds of dollars on airline tickets. With a few clicks of the mouse, Skiplagged can help find what's called "hidden city" airfares.
CBS News' Michelle Miller reports.



Yahoo Travel Executive Editor:
 It only works with one-way tickets and no checked bags. And while it's not illegal to fly this way, most airlines prohibit it.
"Think about it; they could have flown you at a higher rate into that middle city and then booked somebody for that next leg too, so it's a revenue loss for them. If they catch you on it, they say that they'll freeze your frequent flier miles. They might not let you book tickets in the future; they might not let you take a return flight. It's really pretty threatening." Full Article

Dream As Big As We Dare To / Oops!, #Music Video, Evolved:

Step into a whole new world ―Music Video Interactivity

“People don’t only want to lean back and watch things. People want to lean into them.”― Genna Terranova


Over the course of a century, the art of the motion picture has evolved from the silent, black-and-white film experiments of yesteryear into an international community of storytellers who bring their creations to screens big and small. Today’s films can reach audiences wherever they are, from laptops to phones, even inside the moving car.  Lincoln Now―Explore the stories, and The Lincoln MKC Dream Ride is Now in Action!

And today, the audience has even become a part of the creation process through the new world of virtual and interactive technologies. Yet while the ways that we consume cinematic stories have changed dramatically, the magic of movies has endured. They allow us to step into a whole new world, to lose ourselves in a story, and to dream as big as we dare to. 120 years ago, audiences were romanced by film’s ability to help us reimagine the world around us, and that love affair is far from over.


 Following a longstanding tradition of working with Hollywood, Lincoln Motor Company has partnered with film creators from Vimeo to Film Independent Lincoln Now, are proud to join the Tribeca Film Festival in celebration of the today’s most creative films. Throughout this journey, Lincoln Now have been compelled by one of the few tenets of filmmaking that has remained constant in this rapidly changing landscape: great storytelling.


By uncovering the combined potential of technology and artistry, Lincoln Now, examines what the future holds for the medium and audiences alike. Wherever you watch it, we hope you’ll be inspired.


The Idea To Set Films to Music existed long before Television:

What comes to mind when you think of music videos? A moonlit street packed with dancing zombies? A line of ambivalent girls playing electric guitars? Fireworks? Champagne? Though they’ve only existed in their current form since the late 1970s, the tropes of modern music videos are as varied as they are familiar.

The first known music video wasn’t a video at all, but a machine invented in the late 19^th century. The Kinetophone was a hybrid device
made from a phonograph and an early motion-
picture player. Viewers who looked through the Kinetophone’s peephole enjoyed a primitive animation of a man playing a violin while the phonograph played an accompanying score.

But like most ideas born at the turn of the 20^th century, its current form doesn’t quite resemble its initial inception. Thanks to evolving technologies and many new accessible outlets for expression, the music videos that we grew up with may soon be as unfamiliar as the Kinetophone. Not only has the music video jumped from the television set to the computer screen, but viewers have also l
eft their seats behind in favor of playing an active role in the stories on screen.

 Having a “Wow” moment:
“When someone watches a video of ours, I want to hear ‘Wow,’ I want to show them that something is possible that they didn’t realize was moments ago.”―Jeff Greco. The music video’s next frontier? Interactivity.


 Lincoln Now, from the Lincoln Motor Company, is a comprehensive storytelling platform designed to celebrate individuality. Highlighting unique stories—ranging from those working diligently with their hands to create contemporary masterpieces to those using innovative technology to enhance and inspire the world around them—with thought provoking articles, insightful conversation, and stunning imagery and film.

“Whether secretly or unconsciously, we all return to past creations to uncover fresh ideas.”— LMC:
HELLO, AGAIN.


 One person’s noise is another person’s music:
 They sang a song called “Music Ain’t a Crime.” They held signs reading “we will be heard.” Some people take it really personally when you go after their music. How digital technology is transforming our relationship with sound: Sonic Boom


TED; is a global community, welcoming people from every discipline and culture who seek a deeper understanding of the world. Ideas Worth Spreading: Talks on Music .  

 “Music has always been a matter of Energy to me, a question of Fuel. Sentimental people call it Inspiration, but what they really mean is Fuel. I have always needed Fuel. I am a serious consumer. On some nights I still believe that a car with the gas needle on empty can run about fifty more miles if you have 
The Right Music very loud on the radio.”― H S. Thompson

If you care at all about #music— RUN, don't walk!

                                               #RSD; Keeping the Music (Culturally) alive:



 It's Your Music. If you want to know what is happening culturally?— RUN, don't walk to your local, real RECORD STORE, absorb the heart and soul and the vibe of a community. The music scene of any town will revolve around the RECORD STORE as the center of the universe. 
Go find your treasures!
 
Music at the brick-and-mortar:
Independent record stores during the 20th century were like a community meeting place for kids who looked beyond the Top 40 charts and were open to hearing something other than what the big record companies told you should like. Independent stores were the only places where the history of music can be found along with the next great music; not just a few titles from a select few.

Music fans were able to visit all kinds of record stores, big and small, chain, used and otherwise, and always feel at home in them.

Why has the Records Stores disappeared and what is happening?
They are losing out to the no face, no character, download and streaming connections with the computer world.

Keep the music cultural alive:
Like many musicians and music fans of a certain age, Chuck D has no trouble remembering the first record he bought with his own money.

The unsung hero was the inside store Music Guru, who helped us find the old and the new and shared those golden moments of discovery that only the record store can give. "They didn't just sell records, they sold opinions." They created a whole new environment. 

In an age of digital downloads, THE LIST at Record Store Day - The Documentary; why fans still love and need to love vinyl records.

 Record Store Day was conceived in 2007 at a gathering of independent record store owners and employees as a way to celebrate and spread the word about the unique culture surrounding nearly 1000 independently owned record stores in the US and thousands of similar stores internationally. There are Record Store Day participating stores on every continent except Antarctica.


This is a day for the people who make up the world of the record store—the staff, the customers, and the artists—to come together and celebrate the unique culture of a record store and the special role these independently owned stores play in their communities. Special vinyl and CD releases and various promotional products are made exclusively for the day and hundreds of artists in the United States and in various countries across the globe make special appearances and performances. Festivities include performances, cook-outs, body painting, meet & greets with artists, parades, djs spinning records and on and on. Metallica officially kicked off Record Store Day at Rasputin Music in San Francisco on April 19, 2008 and Record Store Day is now celebrated the third Saturday every April.

While there’s only one Record Store Day a year, the organization works throughout the year to create contests, special releases and promotions in order to spotlight these special stores on the other 364 days of the year. These include the Adapter Prize—which honors releases chosen as “The Best” by store staff and customers and Back To Black Friday which gives record stores exclusive releases as part of the attempt to redirect the focus of the biggest shopping day of the year to the desirable, special things to be found at Local Stores.


 Record Store Day – Saturday April 19th – falls on Easter weekend. And should avid rekkid collectors find themselves in London for this momentously musical occasion, they'll be in for a treat!

London's indie record store mecca of Soho will see a range of festivities to celebrate Record Store Day with free outdoor performances, along with retailers hosting in-store activities throughout the day and more. Area record stores will open at 8 o'clock in the morning with DJs, music quizzes and parties throughout the day along with an open air market along Berwick Street with plenty of foodie treats and shops without direct musical connections joining in on the fun with discounts and special offers.

Most of the festivities will take place in and around Berwick Street, a destination for vinyl record collectors since the 1980’s and home to central London’s largest concentration of independently owned record shops. Check it out:




Question: Why would someone plow a cornfield and put in a baseball field? Why would someone open a record store at the tail end of a recession and in a dying market?
"Really, it’s border line insane.”– Rich Wagner could be the Kevin Costner of independent record store owners.


                         Record Store Day-- a good place to immerse yourself!
 
                                                It's A Music Culture– C2 IT!

“fast #fashion” ~ Shoppers gets the concept @Hukkster:

The world of fashion is fast; trends move from the runway onto the rack at the nearest retail store with such speed, it has coin the phrase “fast fashion”, it does not even begin to describe the ever-churning cycle that stores go through to remain up-to-date. Some retail websites capitalizes on deals at the end of the cycle — selling off high-end excess from past seasons at ultra clearance prices.

Bargain-seekers may be in luck, New York-based company Hukkster are aware that Retailers are ineffectively trying to reach consumers about deals and discounts.  Hukkster aim to fix the "huge disconnect" between consumers and retailers, bringing the "power back to the shopper". Hukkster are tackling deals in a different way, by approaching fast fashion — in the middle of the cycle, rather than the end.

Allowing customers/shoppers to capitalize on the best deals online for purchase of their favorites once the item hit the sale section.

Hukkster is a free shopping tool that tracks products online for users and notifies them via email, text message, and/or push notification as soon as those products go on sale or when a coupon code or promotion is applicable: How it Works! 


You can choose whether to be alerted when the item goes on sale in general, drops at least 25% or drops at least 50%.  It's way more effective than reminding yourself to check the price later only to abandon your virtual shopping cart.

 Shoppers are getting the concept! Hukkster has some 40,000 users, who can “hukk” merchandise from more than 1,000 retailers, including  J.Crew, Macy’s, Neiman Marcus and Nordstrom.  If you hate paying full price on items you love, let Hukkster introduce you to the next big way to save when shopping!

Meet The Team; 
Hukkster founders, Katie and Erica, met in 2007 while waist high digging through polo shirts and seersucker shorts in the sample closet at J.Crew. Working side by side as merchandisers, the duo formed an instant bond over their love for fashion and New York City. Five years later, Katie and Erica traded in their nautical stripes for tailored suits and the hectic lifestyle of management consulting. Lacking free time, the two savvy shoppers began to commiserate over their email inboxes that overflowed with deals and special offers. Katie and Erica were intent on accessing the latest trends at affordable prices, but could not find the time to sort through all of these offers for the diamond in the rough:
