I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had to stop rollerblading or parasailing or barefoot running because my DataStick couldn’t keep up. But no longer! With this Centon 128GB DataStick Sport I’ve got 128GB of data storage on a carabineer in a water resistant-up-to-six-feet, shock-resistant silicon casing. Which is awesome, because with my XTREME […]

“What? You can’t be serious.” “I am. I’ve thought about it long and hard, and I’ve come to decide that there is no huge bull-man in the sky.” “But then…who are we sending these paper lanterns to?” “Nobody.
