| I wanted to spend a little time on the arts this month because it is a hobby of mine. Art comes into play on the job everyday whether it is preparing presentations, creating new forms, writing the newsletter or blog articles, contemplating changes to the web site or planning a new video. What better way to symbolize art than travel to the imagination of Disney and take a ride on Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin. My high score is 128,000 by the way. Hope you enjoy. | In This Issue |

Documents Attached to Emails? How often do you need to deal with a document that is attached to an email? We have a number of For those, we have added the ability to automate the processing of these attachments. We have given them a special email address to use for forwarding these emails with attachments. They forward the email changing nothing but the subject, for that they type the transaction number associated to that document. Not a second after sending this email, the attached documents get split apart from the email and connected to that transaction. A window will then pop-up allowing the user to further mark those documents with a type (selected from a list) and a description if one is required. Now the document is permanently connected to the transaction and can be used anytime in the future to email, fax, print, include with billing, display on a web tracking screen or merely save for future reference. The document could be a purchase order, permit, photograph, proof of delivery, contract, or any other document that needs saving. Next time you get an email with an attachment, think about how we might help you build a better way to handle it. | |
What is in a Logo Anyway? This past weekend using my favorite iPad App SketchClub, I digitally sketched rock columns with an eagle flying above the highest peak. After I was done, I thought it would be a Although we have been in business for 30 years, our logo is only a few years old. I guess it took us 25 years to figure out what we stood for. Well, we certainly know that now and our logo has a lot to say. For example, it is bird like flying, upwards which symbolizes soaring flight and being able to see the forest for the trees. It is sleek which implies that we are quick and be able to maneuver swiftly. If you look closely, you will see three dots, eyes if you will. These represent the three distinct specialties we combine into one company; design, development and support. Our logo also symbolizes movement. That is where we concentrate our resources; movement. It is the movement of people and things that takes up most of our attention. Where is that driver, where is that trailer, where is that carton, we build systems to know the answers to these questions and understand all the necessary components of why, when and how much. So when you look at our logo, I hope you see more now than before. What does your logo say? By the way, you can see more of my digital sketches on SketchClub.

| Why is Sleep So Important? There is some evidence that sleep is our time for problem solving. Regardless of the arena, emotional, relationship, job or money, sleep will improve your During REM sleep, your brain kicks into high-gear and begins to multitask. Instead of conscious awareness and focusing on one subject at a time (like we try to do when we are awake), the brain in REM sleep goes into overdrive. It allows random images and thoughts to flow in fleeting bursts of free association. They travel in a bidirectional stream between your left and right brain. When you are awake, it is a one way street. In REM, ideas flow freely left to right, right to left. This is how creativity comes into play in seeking out solutions. The brain will also concentrate on those problems that have the greatest impact during waking hours in an attempt to resolve your biggest problems. The key to problem solving and creativity is uninterrupted sleep and lots of it. Good luck!

great place for our logo to fly as well. It made me think about logo's in general and what they can mean. So what does your logo say about your company? Interesting question which spurs different ideas in different people. To me, our logo symbolizes a great deal.

You usually place your pictures in your iTunes folders so iTunes can see them and when you sync your device, your pictures will update to your device and vice versa. Well that can often be more work than its worth. So usually, I just forget it. The problem also occurs if you have a large video you want to move to your iPad. Without iTunes, it is really difficult. Unless you download an App for $1.99 called PhotoSync. It will work on your iPhone or iPad and it has a free runtime for your PC or your MAC.

irrational thought. So what do we do to find the truth? We don't listen to the news but instead scour our sources for actual signs that our economy is moving and, in fact, moving in a positive direction. So this month, we look at truck tonnage figures. If you haven't noticed, truck tonnage figures are up month over month and near 6% ahead of last year.
