Coffee intake around the office has been up for the past few weeks.

A few Socketeers have been pulling overnight shifts in order to move thousands of Socket email accounts to shiny, brand new equipment.

We're all getting more email nowadays. And as the number of messages sent over Socket's network has increased, so had the load on our old servers.

In order to keep things running smoothly--and to plan for future growth--new servers were purchased, offering faster processing and more storage capacity.

How many old or unused electronics do you have sitting around the house? Not sure what to do with your outdated computer or cell phone?

This week is National Recycling Week and the world has been said to toss over 20 million metric tons of electronics a year (that’s like over 45,500 fully loaded 747s), according to Well Home. The rapid growth in our landfills means it is more important than ever to dispose of e-waste properly.

Every month, Socket employees nominate and vote on a co-worker who best exemplifies our Core Values and Beliefs

This month, we picked James Hicks, technical support representative and keeper-of-the-candy.

See, James has a lot of candy. Lifesavers mints are his favorite. Walk by his desk and his arm will pop out instinctively, refreshing treat in hand.
