Why Falcon is trying tablets - and why we're picking Xoom over iPad2.
It's three hours before the iPad2 is available in Austin. With SXSW launching and the Spring Break for techies descending upon our city, the tech buzz here in the heart of Texas is undeniable.

Construction Companies use of Mobile Storage Containers
Since working with Falcon Containers, I have spoken with many superintendents and general contractors. Sometimes I meet them out at the job sites, or many times they will call in to us needing a mobile storage container. We work with all different types of construction companies including general contractors, electrical subcontractors, plumbing subcontractors, concrete subcontractors, mechanical subcontractors, custom builders, and many more.

Falcon boxes… in a music video?
Recently, our Falcon storage containers were part of something we never would have imagined. In the wee small hours of a recent morning, our portable storage containers were treated to their very own concert! A band from San Antonio called us and asked if they could shoot a music video at the Falcon Nest - why not?
Stretching our sea legs

It can’t be the end of February already!
