I’ve had many watches in my life, my first was a simple wind-up Timex that still works, telling time and day. Most days I don’t wear a watch, not because I don’t have one but because I can’t program/reprogram the one I have. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a great watch but it has more […]

Born From a Hurricane, goTenna Communications is Building Better Communications for Tomorrow
A quick trip back down memory lane, or nightmare alley for some people, to 2012 and Hurricane Sally.

HalfBreed Blades, Worth Every Penny
Have you ever seen something in a display case and thought, “WOW, I bet that will cause some SERIOUS destruction”?
