Lawrence was key in fighting for easier computer experiences where there is one interface instead of a 'backend' and 'front end'. Before Lawrence, it was common to do all your adding and editing in one 'view' or mode, and then switch to another mode to what you did. Lawrence helped merge these two worlds so you can add, ...

A new, massive ‘mall’ called American Dream is opening in New Jersey, but it’s more a mall in name only. It’s really a theme park, as the majority of space is dedicated to food and entertainment.

I read the New York Times and want to ask: Are we sharpening our executioner's sword? That is what FedEx wondered as it helped Amazon grow by delivering its packages. Finally, FedEx woke up and decided it's better to make less money tomorrow than help usher in its death in the near future. As the Times reports, FedEx is terminating its ground delivery agreement with Amazon at the end of August, thereby passing on the delivery of millions of packages.
Amazon has historically partnered with ...

Business lunch: how retail is changing :)
Old retail is 80% analog. This consists of: the physical store, staff, customer service training, etc. What you’d expect walking into a Saks or Macy's. And it's about 20% tech: computers, cash registers (POS systems), mobile shopping, Google ranking, apps, hiring social influencers, Instagram, etc.
Today, the retailers that are well positioned, growing, and 'hot' carry the opposite equation: they're 20% analog and 80% tech.
Heart's Desire is HIRING!!! We are a FUN, ENERGIZING & ENCOURAGING place to work! How do we know? Our employees! And, we don't have openings very often! Ideal candidate would be available to work 20-30 hours/week. Must be available to work 2-3 Saturdays per month (we are closed on Sundays!). Stop in TODAY to pick up an application or call the store at 972-335-1800 and we will email one to you!
