Baby boomers and Harley-Davidson motorcycles.  The combination of these two delivered a plethora of profits.
I was upgrading my Mac OS and while I waited, I read magazines.  First it was “Baggers” then “BusinessWeek.”
Skimming the BW magazine I notice an article about business book guru Jim Collins.  He wrote “Good To Great.”  Collins was brought to [...]

One thing I’ve noticed over the last year is the popularity of electronic devices targeted toward the geriatric-age bracket.

Maybe ’cause it’s that time of year for a lot of birthdays or maybe it’s my lack of patience?  Anyway I’m standing in the Starbucks line to buy my normal Grande Coffee and it’s like freakin’ 700 people long ’cause the only thing the teenage boy at the register [...]

One topic where the “elephant” in the room needs to be introduced and brought out into the light of day is the [...]
