4 Comments on How To Improve Walt Disney World Transportation

PROGRESS CITY USA has posted #3 on their list of TEN WISHES FOR THE NEW YEAR: OVERHAUL DISNEY TRANSPORTATION, and I couldn’t agree more.

To quote:

Basically, unless you’re just going from your hotel to a theme park and back, internal transportation is a headache. Fixing the system would require a massive investment, tackling many separate goals simultaneously. It would require an entirely different plan for the resort’s infrastructure, and it’s needed immediately. They won’t do it, but they should.

I have one suggestion that would address this current transportation problem at Walt Disney World with an idea that would dramatically increase guest satisfaction. It won’t solve the immediate issue at hand, but keeping guests happy in the short run can buy some time until a better transporation plan is developed.

How To Do Tilt Shift Photography

Post author By web gangsta
Post date May 6, 2009

Tilt shift photography is a way to make an image or film look like it’s of a toy miniture or the object is made of plastic — just by adjusting the focus used by the camera.

You can use a special tilt shift lens on your SLR camera, or you can manipulate the image digitally with Photoshop to change the focus to a much narrower frame of reference. Doing so makes the image appear much further away in the shot than it actually is.

You may have already seen some examples of tilt shift photography without even realizing it. Joss Whedon’s TV show DOLLHOUSE uses tilt shift photography in its opening credit sequence, seen here:

How To Lose 10 Pounds in One Year By Doing Practically Nothing

The New York Post recently had an article entitled WHEN IT COMES TO WEIGHT LOSS, CUT 100 – CALORIES, THAT IS!

The article points out one simple fact: if you eat 100 fewer calories a day for an entire year and change absolutely nothing else about your exercise or diet plan, then you will be taking in 36,500 fewer calories over the course of those 365 days.

100 fewer calories a day. That should be easy.

One less fat-free Jell-O Pudding Cup.

One less slice of bread.

One less bottle of original VitaminWater (the full caloric version).

How to Easily Change your Maiden Name

You’re getting married this month, but haven’t given a thought to what you’re going to about your name.

Do you have the paperwork? Do you even know what to do?

Some friends from Canada have setup a service where they will handle most of the heavy lifting for you: I’M A MRS. For a small fee, they will provide you with a package containing all government forms, including forms for passport, SSN, voter registration, driver’s license, and more. For a few dollars more, you’ll also be able to access information that would cover many of your financial contacts: retail credit cards, utilities, insurance, etc.

While this service currently only services Canada, they are expecting to expand into the US soon (if they haven’t done so already by the time you read this).

10 Things You Don’t Know About… Finding the Best Inexpensive Wine at a Restaurant

Post author By web gangsta
Post date April 17, 2009

So you’re sitting at the fancy restaurant, and the waiter hands you the wine menu. If you’re like most people, you flip to the back page where the cheap stuff is, scan the page for the least expensive per-glass line, and order whatever it may be.

Yes, restaurants make a ton of money selling customers a bottle of wine at an incredibly high markup. The same bottle that can run $100 or more in the restaurant may only cost you $20 at the local wine shop…assuming the local wine shop even carries that label or vintage.

So how do you know which wine is a good value when you’re looking at the menu?

The Wall Street Journal has written a handy guide to help you SAVE MONEY WHEN BUYING WINE AT A RESTAURANT.

How to Find an Internship or Job, Off-the-Beaten-Path

Post author By web gangsta
Post date April 13, 2009

One common conversation topic I find myself having with my unemployed friends is that – after they’ve been unemployed for an extended period of time – they are willing to try anything, even if it means switching career paths. And frankly, some are using their job hunt time to switch to a career that they’ve always wanted to try.

But if you are out of the college market, what are some ways to discover new, interesting internships that aren’t necessarily in your own field of experience? Sure, you could check the want-ads in the newspaper, but why not check out an intern-specific website like ONE DAY ONE INTERNSHIP?
