Some technology enthusiasts believe it’s the smart watch, which makes some sense…  But what’s interesting is the technology seems to be evolving backwards.  Nowadays,…

Let me begin by apologizing for the lack of updates over the past couple months.  As we were approaching the end of our Kickstarter campaign, it was obvious I had some tough decisions to make about the future of TREWGrip.  Faced with the reality of a failed campaign, I remembered a famous quote from a…

In slightly more than six weeks, we will be at the 2014 International CES in Las Vegas sharing TREWGrip with the world… literally. With nearly 150,000 people expected at CES and thousands of journalists on hand to cover the latest technology gadgets and gizmos, there may not be a bigger, more diverse stage to showcase our technology….
