Monaco To Paris With Twitterscope Up

Monaco To Paris With Twitterscope Up

By Naomi Bloom on June 5, 2011

Provence, Toujours Provence You’ll have noticed that my last post went up on May 3rd, shortly after we left for two weeks vacation.  Before I return to our regularly scheduled programming, to blogs on more or less professional topics, I wanted to say a few words about this vacation and its impact on my state of […]

A Bloom’s Christmas: Inventory Management And Retail Retold

A Bloom’s Christmas: Inventory Management And Retail Retold

By Naomi Bloom on December 24, 2010

Bloom’s Camera Catalogue Circa 1950 On Christmas Eve, my Dad’s retail camera shop closed early, and we knew we’d have him with us all that next day.  Really just with us, even if he was too tired for much conversation after working the very long hours of the retail Christmas season.  New Year’s Day was for […]

Bloom & Wallace Release 2011

By Naomi Bloom on November 5, 2010

M&A Observations: Whither Goest Genesys?

M&A Observations: Whither Goest Genesys?

By Naomi Bloom on August 13, 2010

Late-breaking news.  Genesys’ buyer is PeopleStrategy, the current owner of Integral Systems (which was Dave Duffield’s predecessor company to PeopleSoft, so we’re going back here to the mid-80′s for it’s heyday).  PeopleStrategy is led by Randy Cooper, who also led the buy of Genesys for Salary.com.  Randy is very experienced with that generation of HRMS, having […]

“Plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose” — Let’s Change That In Chicago

“Plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose” — Let’s Change That In Chicago

Reflections Of A Digital Immigrant Gone Semi-Native: An Embarrassment Of Riches

By Naomi Bloom on January 9, 2010

As many of you know, I had left shoulder rotator cuff repair surgery on 12/18/09 and have been mostly offline since then except for backlogged blog posts (extensive, probably boring suggestions for “killer” scenarios) and the odd tweet (sometimes very odd as a result of the pain meds I’ve been taking, as sparingly as possible).  With […]

After 40, It’s Patch, Patch, Patch

Camp Mar-Lin girls circa 1953 — can you spot Naomi?

I can tell you a few things about aging.  The best way to express my philosophy of aging is through the words of an unknown writer:  Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, […]
