Cambrian House Sends Out Laptop to Receive Signatures from Technology Rock Stars - Starts with Guy Kawasaki

Calgary, AB (PRWEB) September 15, 2006

CALGARY, AB Sept 15, 2006 Cambrian House Inc., a Calgary-based software company with a unique crowdsourcing business model, announced today the launch of their new fundraising campaign Follow the White Laptop. The campaign kicked off by delivering a new white MacBook to Guy Kawasaki the former Apple evangelist, in hopes of him signing it and sending it off to another technology rock star.


The goal of the campaign is to get as many signatures from luminaries in the technology sector as possible and then auction it off on eBay early next year, says Michael Sikorsky, CEO of Cambrian House. This is a great cause that all our employees are passionate about, and I feel it is important as a company to sometimes step back from our everyday operations and focus some energy to giving back to those who are less fortunate.


All proceeds of the auction will be donated to the Youth for Technology Foundation, an international non-profit organization that seeks to bridge the digital canyon among disadvantaged communities in developing countries, starting with the continent of Africa.


The company is hoping the laptop gets passed onto a diverse range of technology entrepreneurs including people like Bill Gates (Microsoft), Kevin Rose (Digg.com), Steve Jobs (Apple), Ze Frank (zefrank.com), and Chris DeWolfe (MySpace). We are very lucky to have Guy Kawasaki kick off our campaign, and we look forward to seeing who he sends it off to, says Sikorsky.

CaseCruzer's New Pelican Laptop Case Turn Business Air Travel Warriors Into Easy Riders

Montclair, CA (PRWEB) February 19, 2008

The NiteCruzer 1510 laptop case introduces the latest addition to a comprehensive line of carry-on luggage by Pelican Cases. Business nomads with an eye for trailblazing amenities are chucking dual shoulder bags in favor of the new suave and sleek NiteCruzer - the toughest airline-legal carry-on baggage available today. This innovative spin on air travel marks the end of those days when technology and personal belongings required separate but equal spaces.


The mobile NiteCruzer 1510 is yet another progressive CaseCruzer design. This cutting edge laptop case with its spacious interior gives globetrotters ample storage for personal belongings. Yet it also pampers laptops with a protective lid compartment that is ideal for the Apple MacBook Pro 13.3-, 15-inch or the new MacBook Pro Air.


Arrivals and departures are always smooth with NiteCruzer's deluxe 17-inch retractable extension handle, which allows world-class voyagers to roll in and out of any hemisphere with ease. And since the new NiteCruzer1510 is equipped with side and front handles, assistance won't be necessary when hoisting it into an overhead bin.


Fortune-hunters who travel with laptop cases - and who doesn't? - can easily survive the onslaught of tiresome travel conditions because NiteCruzer is a veritable fortress on wheels. The metal reinforced padlock protectors add strength and extra security against cutting, theft and air turbulence. And if travel plans demand that you tolerate stormy weather or seasonal downpours, the waterproof NiteCruzer by Pelican Cases with buoyancy up to 64.2 lbs is capable of rising to nearly any occasion.


Road warriors Bruce Johnson and Christine Toy Johnson of ReImagined World Entertainment have spent a lot of time on aircraft this past year. "The laptop is always critical, especially now. When we're on the road, we have to take two. One for writing, and one for design and editing needs," said Bruce Johnson. "I'll often have two different carry-ons. But I tend to try to find an all-in-one bag that will carry both my laptop and other things."


The Johnsons have encountered the full menu of travel headaches. But the most feared is when they fly into a major airport and transfer to a "puddle-jumper" aircraft to travel to remote locations. Often no bags may be carried onto these small planes. "They take your bag. And you just pray at that point," Johnson said.


No prayers needed when rolling with NiteCruzer laptop cases. Although the peerless carrying NiteCruzer by Pelican Cases weighs only 15 lbs when empty, it comes with standard features, such as water and dustproof neoprene o-ring seal, automatic purge valve with Gore-Tex
