Why You Need To Include Satellite Communications In Your Emergency Plan
Wayne Rash is a technology and science writer based in Washington. The California wildfires have created a series of catastrophes for businesses that reach far beyond the physical destruction of the fires themselves. In northern California, a series of long-term planned outages is leaving PG&E customers in the dark as the utility tries to avoid starting any new fires by shutting down the power grid. While these outages may preserve areas where fires have not started, the damage to businesses in these areas is still significant. Some of that damage comes from direct losses, such as merchandise spoiled by […]

Persevering in hard places
MAF CONTINUES TO SERVE IN HAITI AMIDST PROLONGED UPHEAVAL By Natalie Holsten Just over a week after a devastating 7.2 magnitude earthquake rocked southwestern Haiti, MAF pilot Eric Fagerland landed in the town of Jérémie with a load of relief supplies. As Eric prepared to unload the plane, Mark Stockeland of Haiti Bible Mission grabbed him by the shoulder and pointed to a group of injured people waiting nearby. Mark, a frequent user and close friend of MAF, was coordinating relief efforts in the area. “They’ve been lying there for hours,” said Mark. “They just don’t have a way to […]
Want to see what a depressed missionary looks like?
August 29, 2014 Want to see what a depressed missionary looks like? That’s a picture of me, in April 2003 when I was suffering from major depression with a little side of psychosis every now and again. A depressed missionary looks a lot like an un-depressed missionary. I think depressed missionaries are like depressed regular people: we’re all really good at keeping the pain hidden away. We’re not sure if it’s safe to tell the truth about how we really feel. Yesterday, a friend of mine asked me how long it took me to write As Soon As I Fell. […]
Rugged Touchscreen Without Equal
A device’s screen quality is one of the most important elements of the perceived comfort and enjoyment of its usage, especially if it’s a touchscreen. But if your business has never used rugged computers before, touchscreen quality might not be the first or even the second thing you consider when contemplating a purchase. However, it’s really very important – for three reasons. One, rugged devices are meant to be used outside, so their screens must be bright enough to read under sunlight. If they’re not, what you’ll see will effectively be a black screen, rendering this technological investment near useless […]
The Impossible Route
THE IMPOSSIBLE ROUTE Everyone has their own impossible route. It might be climbing a volcano or finishing a single mile. The impossible route documentary series is about capturing the story and the adventure of cyclists trying to accomplish what might be considered impossible. This endeavor is not about racing; it’s about finding adventure, pushing the limit, and then going beyond what is thought to be possible. The first impossible route expedition took place on Mauna Kea in 2020. The adventure has continued ever since, with two seasons of expeditions filmed and plans for season 3. The vision is to grow this inspiration into […]
What is a GPS Laptop?
Michael Ingram Last Modified Date: May 12, 2023 A GPS laptop is a portable computer configured with a global positioning system (GPS) device and mapping software, allowing the user to track his or her position anywhere on the earth. While some laptop computers, or notebooks, are now available with built-in GPS devices, the most common way to configure a laptop to use GPS technology is by purchasing an external device. This external device usually connects to the computer through a USB port or by taking advantage of Bluetooth® wireless technology. GPS laptops are most commonly used by boaters and motorists, particularly RV drivers or […]
