My friend Kamal is a world traveler; he has meditated with Tibetan monks in the Dalai Lama’s monastery, trekked the Himalayas, and hiked the Camino de Santiago in Spain. He served in the U.S. Army and studied to be an ER doctor. He has launched tech companies, runs his own venture capital firm, and is […]
There seem’s to be quite a few manufacturers of USB device chargers. Everything from the cheap little charging sticks that give you a single charge to the larger ones that provide the ability to charge phones, tablets and other USB powered devices.
