Vaccination Status In Apple Wallet?
Thanks to a partnership between Apple and Healthvana, a software platform that delivers test results to patients, residents in Los Angeles can have their vaccination records stored digitally since the end of December. In the Apple Wallet or selected Android wallets. With about 10 million residents, Los Angeles County is the most populous county in the United States. All the vaccines are formally tracked in the government registries anyway. And people are given paper confirmations. This digital vaccination record was made in an attempt to ensure people are alerted by push notification to get their second dose. Because the approved Pfizer or Moderna vaccines require a two-shot dose. This digital record has also the added benefit of being very hardContinue Reading
Pepper de Callier: Things to Think About
“Whether you believe you can, or believe you can’t, you are right.” Abraham Lincoln Leave it to someone from very humble beginnings, born and raised in the Midwest United States, who rose to the pinnacle of political power, to draw upon his life experience and come up with a quote that is the essence of common-sense. Lincoln suffered many defeats before rising to the U.S. presidency, and it was his ability to honestly, objectively reflect on his actions and beliefs that guided him to lead a nation through the greatest moral crisis of its history. To believe in something is to make a choice—a choice to believe. Choosing to believe in yourself, is investing in your future. Sure, some thingsContinue Reading
Pepper de Callier: Things to Think About
“No one ever listened their way out of a job.” Calvin Coolidge Sage advice for those of us who might want to improve our listening skills. In my work with leaders, I find that one of the most common complaints I hear from subordinates is that they just don’t listen to us. The leader in question always has the “right” answer and will interrupt or speak over anyone trying to suggest another point of view. That’s okay, some might say, and because I am the boss, I can do this whenever I want. True, but… The problem soon becomes on that the boss cannot talk their way out of. Why? Because people will stop trying to offer solutions and theContinue Reading

Please Come In And Browse – Part 2
Of course, I am familiar with paper entry tickets that have probably got the number, your logo, and a few other details on them. But that is all that they can, right? And it is hard to sell them online. In one of my last summer articles, I was writing that art galleries might want to come up with something new and find new ways to engage with visitors. Now, it is time to get rid of dull paper entry tickets once and for all and cut through the noise. But people love to buy stuff online, and this is not going to change. They also prefer shopping online for your digital single-entry passes or digital season passes. They canContinue Reading

Oktoberfest
When I expressed my desire to go to Oktoberfest back in June, a friend shook his head and chuckled, as if responding to a child’s silly question. “Have you booked anything yet? Because if not, you’re not going to make it. Everything has probably filled up by now.” He had every reason to be doubtful. The 16-day festival attracts 6 million visitors from all corners of the globe to the host city of Munich, making it the world’s largest fair. While 60% of the visitors are from Munich and the surrounding areas, there are only so many hotels and hostels to accommodate the rest, most of them under 30, traveling in big groups, and ready to drop a combined totalContinue Reading
