Wal-Mart February same-store sales up 2.6% 2008-03-06 07:29:47 I know news on Wal-Mart keeps the anti-capitalist busy so I had to write a quick note on this for fun.

Franchise Review - Massage Envy 2008-03-05 07:47:47 I know if you have a good location and clientele the massage business can be very profitable. On the other hand I have noticed around here that more have failed then succeeded although they were independently owned.

United Technologies offers $2.6 billion for Diebold 2008-03-03 08:08:52 When you think of Diebold you may think of ATM machines but for me I always think about the great voting controversy about their machines and the documentaries that followed.

Hot Career Track - Software Development 2008-03-12 09:22:16 People say there is a lack of good careers in this country but I have to say maybe the college crowd should stop focusing on many easy to get and often useless degree’s and focus on a education that will get you somewhere. Here is one example of a career track that is lacking people.

IKEA’s wicked store floor plan 2008-03-11 08:02:48 I had to add another category for “Smart Business” because after walking around the IKEA store I had to post up my thoughts.
