This site is the umbrella for my personal and professional life. It is updated intermittently. I am Tim Lovelock of Madison (Huntsville), AL, formerly Jacksonville, FL, Brooksville, FL, Tampa, FL, Orlando, FL, and a few other places when I was a child. I appear to do search engine optimization very well - if you are looking for the Tim Lovelock of Bain & Co. in Paris, his linkedin page is here.

USAirways changes frequent flier program, customers get screwed
They say these changes are driven to offset rising fuel costs.
Not sure if I agree with the idea that making it more difficult for your most lucrative customers to reach their LOYALTY rewards is a sound business strategy.
Wait a minute, I’m sure: It’s not.
Here’s the highlow-lights:

BlogOrlando, September 28, 2007
I’ll be attending BlogOrlando on September 28, 2007. The conference is free, and contains the same content one could find at conferences in California and NYC for $1500 +. It’s supposed to be a low-key event, and I expect to come away with a better understanding of hyperlocal blogging, technical knowledge, business blogging, and network contacts.
