Pelco is in great shape, Come join us!

The Pelco acquisition I reported earlier confirms the rumors that we had been hearing for many weeks turned out to be pretty accurate after all. It was a pretty interesting time here at Pelco, and will no doubt the future will continue to be interesting.

I wish I could have blogged about this before, but many things had prevented this. Not least of which was the fact that my employers did not want any information to be on the internet. I have been kept very busy because impact of this of late, and am looking forward to finishing the new line of products I have been working on for the past few months.

This car had driven at great speed along the wrong side of the freeway, had gone up the grass embankment on the other side of the overpass paralell to the on ramp, missing vehicles entering the freeway, then it had flown over the overpass, missing those waiting in traffic.
