7-7-7

images.jpg

I avoid walking under ladders, never toast with water, and am even known to throw salt over my shoulder now and again. I braced myself, ready for the luck that was sure to come my way on this 7/7/7, the Luckiest Day of the Year.?Ǭ† I came up snake-eyes. On the other hand, it was a great day for my dog, Blue. A bird flew over us while we were on our morning walk. Blue jumped up in the air and caught the bird in one clean mouthful. Now that was PURE 7-7-7.?Ǭ†?Ǭ† For those of you who didn’t catch a bird in your mouth today: We are capable of creating our own reality– of using the things the universe puts in our path, no luck necessary.

Under Their Umbrella

When it rains in Philadelphia, a hometown startup has the local businesses covered. Dutch Umbrella provides tagged courtesy umbrellas to local merchants, then uses a RFID interrogator to track those borrowed by the merchants’ customers. By tracking the umbrellas’ locations, they’ll be able to provide market research to participating merchants. Now THAT’S a sexy umbrella.
