The EIPP Plonk Factor: Amex Buys Harbor
So it turns out the rumored Amex acquisition of Harbor Payments is no longer speculation. Check out the full story over on Supply and Demand Chain Executive. Lest anyone think that Amex is out to dominate the Spend Management space with this move and its recent investment and deal with Rearden, we should remember that the financial services giant has a past history of dabbling in the sector without putting its Centurion Card on the table. But might things be changing over at Amex? Perhaps their P-Card Spend Management spending limit has been permanently increased. Stay tuned in the coming weeks at Spend Matters as we dig into American Express' broader Spend Management strategy and examine whether it's made of cheap plastic -- or maybe some more exotic metal. After all, it's all about the plonk factor.

I love Jason's plonk factor link. It comes from Litespeed blog. Jason has divulged his secret passion. Litespeed dropped it's foray into carbon fiber. Good thing. Stay with the core competency.
The fool rides titanium (although a Serotta Ottrot would be nice). Airborne. Made in China. Now out of business. Supply chain risk! Low purchase price though. Time to hit the rollers.
I've been discovered. I'm a former Cat 3, although family obligations and living in the city of Chicago have made serious riding virtuallly impossible. I am now trying to merely improve my mile time and hopefully run a marathon for the first time next year. But in the future, I'll get back on my titanium steed! And maybe someday, I'll even start taking my boys up to the track for the sport in its purest form: http://www.northbrookvelodrome.org/
You've not lived until you've raced on a track!
