OTC’s trip to New York City, with the plan of covering back stage access to the US Open Women’s Final hit its first bump before the plane even left. We sat on the runway for more than two and a half hours because of “weather issues” at LaGuardia. Typically, these assertions can mean anything –…
We are actually combining two things here: a product review and collaboration announcement. It’s all about Docker’s Alpha Khakis and US Open tennis.
