For those that bleed UPS Brown…

Have what it takes to deliver the most UPS express packages on time?

UPS GAMES

Test your Maximum Driver skills with 2 new games – “Air Drop” and “Laserscape” – at racing.ups.com

We have to admit – it’s kind of fun.  You guide either David Ragan or the UPS Driver through the air or through a maze of lasers. UPS delivers more packages overnight on time in the U.S. than any other carrier – so you’re in for a challenge.

Resolving Undeliverable Addressing

A recent article in Mailing Systems Technology states that “Approximately 24% of the nearly 200 billion pieces of mail the Postal Service handles each year have address inaccuracies. These address inaccuracies can mean non-delivery, slowed delivery, returned mail and mail delivered to the wrong address. A significant amount of Standard mail never arrives at all! Not only are postage, printing and processing wasted, the opportunity to sell a product or contact a customer is missed.”

NRG’s Address Validation solution helps to ease addressing woes by allowing you to validate address data at time of entry.

I like robots

Our friends over at Buyolympia have this really cool Create Your Own Robot set. Every kid should get one of these this Christmas. I want two.

It also reminded me that it’s FIRST Lego League time again. FLL is a stellar program that gets middle school kids excited about science and technology by building autonomous Lego robots which need to complete a complex challenge in a short period of time.
