However, even [...]

A couple days ago Matt Steinfort posted on the significant investment dollars that are funding both start-up and well established companies in the broader video market.
Is this another case of irrational exuberance? Not by a long shot.
Capital infusions of this significance are not executed on a whim. The investors conduct extensive research on the company seeking [...]

I read a good post by Brad Feld dealing with a recent accounting pronouncement (Feld Thoughts – FAS 157 – Another Annoying Accounting Provision). He promises more on the subject, and I’m looking forward to the posts to come.
Now that I’ve mentioned accounting, I’ll pause briefly, allowing you to complete your yawn. . . but I do [...]

Although independence was not assured (it took nearly eight years of war, and another five years until the Constitution was ratified), the signing of the Declaration of Independence was a pinnacle moment. There was no turning back for the colonists [...]

Have you heard? Food prices have been increasing.
If this is news to you, to quote ’The Turk’ Sollozzo from The Godfather, ”Te salute, Don Corleone.”
If you are like everyone else, you’ve felt the increases in your wallet. Now imagine the impact to a restaurant owner!
MVaaS providers have achieved initial success in several key markets. Among those has [...]
While I’m on the topic of sharing…The episode began as a nice family birthday celebration. Cupcakes for everyone. It ended in anger and sadness.
My youngest son, age 4 at the time, and true cupcake aficionado, had consumed his prize very quickly. His older brother, no less a connoisseur, was delicately enjoying his treat. You may know [...]
Do you remember Kirk Gibson’s walk off home run in game one of the 1988 World Series? The late Jack Buck’s famous radio call of the exciting moment was “I don’t believe what I just saw!”
Well, try finding the footage on YouTube. Apparently YouTube does not have the “expressed written consent” from MLB. If you want to view this [...]
