As you've probably noticed, we've been fleshing things out a bit more around here lately. When HotHardware first started out, about 10 years ago (good lord time flies), we were primarily what I would call a "push" site or magazine of sorts. We had a basic content engine that...

Today was a day of days; the last day of our vacation and simply perfect. Yesterday we were graced with the presence of none other than Marco and his lovely wife, Adrienne.

There's nothing quite like a little downtime by the ocean, at least as far as this Cape Cod boy is concerned.
