A Busy Day for our Tech Affiliates, April 22, 2012

It’s time for summer to start.

Not sure where you might be located, but the weather here in Ontario is beginning to get a little annoying; cold and rainy today.  I am thankful we didn’t receive the snow that some parts north of us did.

It was the perfect day to take in a movie, 21 Jump Street. Some great laughs in there for sure. I wonder what it would be like to go back to high school now?

HIGHLIGHT REVIEW

While a product’s success is ultimately determined by the product itself, it all starts off with one thing: The name. As I have discussed in my Kingston DataTraveler HyperX 3.0 64GB review last year, what a product is called already leaves a strong first impression. Being a person in electrical engineering living in the province of Alberta, the word “switch” can really be quite meaningful at this time of the year.
