After bamboozling the public out of at least half a million in tax dollars, and suckering the Turner foundation of Springfield out of four million with broken promises of “hi-tech” jobs and prosperity, the nearly broke company has found a new investor:...

Qbase reaches new lows
Last Friday, 20 of the 35 or so people remaining at Qbase were asked to go on straight commission or to work for free. These are the “non-billable” employees, who do sales, marketing and admin. Yet, on Monday, QBase starts posting ads on Linked Dayton and...
Let the Qbase lawsuits begin: Barnard vs. Qbase
The Greene County Courts online system is even worse than Montgomery County’s- in that it makes you think you can link directly to a case, but you can’t. Then it gets even worse because you can’t access the PDF of the actual filing. So, I called and...
Qbase? or Qbust? Qbase has left the building.
The company that forced its employees to donate to political campaigns or risk losing their jobs- Qbase, is apparently coming apart at the seams. Major firings this week including CEO Willard Pardue’s executive assistant and the son of the company’s...

Why So Incompetent?
Warning: this post is the equivalent of pouring gas on yourself and then welding. There are some institutions in Dayton Ohio and vicinity that can do no wrong. I've already challenged some of the other sacred cows- like Sinclair Community College by asking why they...
“A culture of corruption”- but only if you’re black
Full disclosure: Joey Williams and I first met on the campaign trail when I was running for Mayor to unseat Richard Clay Dixon and he was running for school board. I consider Joey a friend. I’ve watched him get married, his kids grow up, and his career do...
The guy running against Carolyn Rice is suddenly the Dayton Day Old News’ favorite source
Funny, when the newspaper starts making sure to quote a guy running against for office- and not at least mentioning his opponent, old time journalists would cry foul. Equal time, equal space. But not the Dayton Day old news which seems to have a new favorite source...
And the Wright Brothers didn’t invent the airplane…
People are still pissed that NC claims “First in Flight” when everyone is supposed to know that the Wright Brothers invented flight and perfected it here in Dayton. When it comes to bike share in Dayton- it most definitely wasn’t “Dayton...
