Dear Friends,

There simply is nothing quite like summer in Vermont. It is the season for fresh garden produce, swimming holes, late evenings and well, mosquitos. The wet spring and early summer has resulted in a bumper crop of the little blood suckers this year. Nevertheless, we usually have a nice breeze at our home on Prickly Mountain so, except for dusk, we have been able to enjoy the sunny weather and mild temperatures.  

I am very pleased to announce that long-time Apple employee, Ted Moorman, has joined Small Dog Electronics as our sales manager for our wholesale division. It is a bit of a small world story with Ted. Several years ago, I was attending a talk by Steve Jobs and was lined up with hundreds of other Apple resellers to check-in. As I signed in, some tall dude that seemed vaguely familiar said: “Don? Don Mayer?” Well, it turns out that Ted and I knew each other from the University of Illinois in the 60’s when we were both about 19. We got to talking and caught up on about 25 years of lost time, and ran into each other several more times in the ensuing years. I was able to convince Ted to leave the mothership and join our Hammerhead team and he came out for a few days last week. Grace and Ted also knew each other, and it was as if no time had passed as we all renewed a friendship. We welcome Ted to our team and I look forward to working with him!

Check out all the iPad and iPad 2 cases from Hammerhead.  I think you will see why we are so excited by these new products.
