Serving Up Thanksgiving Treats 

 

WORK!

1. Have you taught a client/colleague to "plant a fish" recently?  The Pilgrims may have all died if not for the help of Samoset and Squanto, who taught them cool survival tips, including using dead fish as fertilizer.
2. Did you know that Apple sold more than 20 million iPhones and 9 million iPads in third quarter 2011?
3. Still don't know what QR stands for?  Or what those weird little squiggly boxes on products and in advertising mean?  Check out this article!
4. Have you ordered your holiday e-card yet?  Remember, we at theONswitch can create awesome holiday greeting cards -- they even talk and sing!  Contact us by November 30th for options and prices. 

PLAY!

1. Is your social media overtaking your social life?  Check out Flipboard (which turns your fave sites into a magazine) and Nutshell Mail (which creates a compact digest of all your social media activity).  Then you'll have more time for REAL friends this holiday season!  
2. Here's a purl of wisdom...Knitting can have the same relaxing effect as meditation.   Join the knitterati at Vogue Knitting Live this January. 

HELP!

1. Send a kid to college!  Send another kid to camp!  Two of our favorite holiday causes are Yonkers Partners in Education and S.C.O.P.E.  
2. theONswitch attracts interns who have hearts and brains!  Check out this new online bidding site launched by our newest intern, Jared P. Feldman, who will be helping us launch Destination Science 2012.
3. Speaking of camp-y things, Nancy A. Shenker will be speaking at the American Camp Association National Conference 2012 in Atlanta, helping camps with innovative marketing ideas.

BURP!  

No e-newsletter from theONswitch would be complete without quirky and obscure fun facts.  The average American will eat 4,500 calories on Thanksgiving, according to this site.  Or, you can avoid that by gobbling down some turkey-flavored gumballs and admiring your inflatable turkey.
