Last week I was on a plane headed to the Traffic Records Forum conference in Costa Mesa, CA and I couldn’t help but notice that barcodes were everywhere: boarding passes, mobile boarding passes, luggage, food purchases, and more. This trip was the first time I used a mobile boarding pass and I have to say, it’s…

There are several terms that some people mistakenly substitute for similar-sounding words, when in actuality, they are using the term in the completely wrong context. Below are 10 of the…
I’ve always felt that there is a time and place for everything.
