I’m off to Jamaica for the first time in my life and my wife and I are really looking forward to getting away from it all. It is with a bit of sadness that we leave our boys behind, but we’ve never had a “real” honeymoon and after 11 years of marriage, I think she’s [...]
A few weeks ago, Sonim sent me a press release regarding their “Xtreme Performance One” (XP1) phone that claims to be one of the toughest phones around.

Things have been wicked busy around here lately. My real job has kept me hopping as well as helping Daniel of SLAGD with his house roof (weekend before last). Regardless, products have been rolling in, and rolling through the shop before they roll back out and the last three reviews off the bench are as [...]
I just got a call from Dallmann Computers saying that I’d just received some new gear. I’ve been waiting for a few things so I eagerly dropped it to see what was up. It seems that BCCHardware has just received the GS1000 case from Zalman as well as the CNPS 9300 AT HSF. These products [...]
I know I stretch that headline a wee bit too much but frankly I’m choked right now. I was expecting a package worth several hundred dollars to arrive on Friday and I waited around until about 4:55pm (business closes at 5:00pm). Nothing showed up so I left – with the owner of the store staying [...]
