South Africa for a Week – An Introduction

April 21, 2014 by jeffsetter

In early April of 2014, I took a trip to South Africa with my father.

A few weeks ago, I received an email from Delta announcing a contest called “Australia Someday” in which you could enter a daily drawing to win a free trip from Delta. While I didn’t expect much from the promotion, I always click through to see if there is anything that might be of interest to myself and readers of this blog.

US Airways Social Media Screwup: When My Work and Hobbies Collide

April 15, 2014 by jeffsetter

I have been light in blogging while on Safari in South Africa (the Internet has been slow and you know, I was on a safari), but this one is too good to pass up. Last night I was checking my Facebook feed and saw references to the “Epic US Airways Social Media Fail” and “Biggest social media fail ever!"
