Two regional subsidiaries of Lockheed Martin, Bethesda, Maryland’s friendly neighborhood military logistics multinational corporation, got good news this week.

Yes, it’s another round of scary regional military tech innovation.

Their Newton-based space systems arm was part of the design and construction of a new global-positioning satellite that was rocket-launched into space on Tuesday, according to a company press release.

That came a day after the company’s maritime systems and sensors firm won a $10.7 million contract from the U.S. Navy, according to another presser.

Their GPS Block IIR-20(M) satellite took to the skies from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. It was a joint project with the U.S. Air Force under a $6 million contract.� The launch was the seventh in a line of eight IIR satellites that the company’s team modernized for the Global Positioning Systems Wing, Space and Missile Systems Center at Los Angeles Air Force Base.

Their maritime division’s Navy contract is to provide training to Japanese and Norwegian crews whose ships are equipped with the Aegis Weapon System, which Lockheed develops in beautiful Moorestown, N.J.

The Japanese crews will be trained in Moorestown or at the Dahlgren, Va., home of the Naval Surface Warfare Center, which awarded the contract. Lockheed will handle the Norwegian crews in Norway or Dahlgren.

The training is expecting to complete the training by March 2012.

Let’s just place the warning up front: iamguiltyof.com is not safe for work. Seriously, if you’re in a cubicle, go browse our events calendar. The site, created by Bensalem-based Web developer Brian Driscoll can be raunchy, disgusting, enlightening and tragic all in one. And it could also get you canned.

The concept is simple: users can confess their sins to the world. The entries appear in a single column on the site’s homepage. There is no sign up process, and the entries are 100 percent anonymous. Confessions range from the mundane (“I am guilty of…watching ninja Warrior!“) to the downright chilling (“I am guilty of…pushing you down the stairs when you were prego.”).

“It occurred to me that when it comes to things like Twitter and Facebook, it’s hard to say what you want to say because everyone can identify you,” says Driscoll. “For the most part they tend to be benign … they lack a certain level of honesty.”

The site is very much like PostSecret or Fmylife except boiled down to a paragraph; something that could begin as a voyeuristic lunch time distraction and end up as an easy way to lose an hour of your day. The Temple graduate Driscoll started the site as a side project to sharpen some of his Web development skills and to finally give him a site of his own. Driscoll has seen his small side project slowly picking up steam and collect over 600 confessions in a matter of weeks while gaining coverage in mainstream media outlets.

“Those aren’t huge numbers by any stretch, but they are kind of huge to me because I don’t think I have ever worked on anything that has gotten so many visitors in such a small amount of time,” he said. And while he knows the site’s 100 to 120 views a day aren’t on pace to surpass the Twitters of the world, Driscoll has been receiving more and more attention. The site was covered in the Phillyburbs.com and has been mentioned on several radio stations across the nation.

As his early success indicates, and as a read through the site will verify, Driscoll has found that guilt is universal. According to his metrics, men and women post confessions equally, and the more educated someone is, the more likely they are to post. Many of the confessions are receiving comments and some have been favorited over 100 times. Only 20 percent of users end up posting confessions.

In the future, Driscoll plans on adding features such as a mobile version and categories for confessions. He is exploring partnerships and advertising deals but hasn’t settled on anything quite yet. But for now he’s dead set on promoting the site.

“In my plan for global domination, the site should be getting 1,000 users a day at least,” he said.

There’s a solution, of course.

From its launch in October 2003 to February, SwapaGift.com had been “the leading online marketplace dedicated solely to buying, selling, and trading gift cards,” said Mike Kelly, who was the early Web adopter who launched the site with his wife Mary Jane out of their Langhorne home.

Last month, a deal was announced in which Swapagift.com was bought by Wolfe.com, the Pittsburgh-based online marketing company and parent of GiftCards.com, which included a drop of their trading option.

That makes the Eagles departure from the NFL playoffs and subsequent Steelers Super Bowl victory the second indignity Pittsburgh has bestowed on our fair metropolis this year.

While their operation has largely moved to Pittsburgh’s GiftCards.com processing facility, the marketing, promotion and business development remain with the Kellys in Langhorne.

Mike Kelly, 45, declined to disclose financial details of the acquisition, but he said business is good and that his company’s ties to Philadelphia won’t falter.

Today, their in-person, gift-card repurchasing services can be found in 500 retail locations nationally, including five in Philadelphia and others in the region. They expect more than 1,000 by year end.

That’s quite a surge since the end of 2006, when SwapaGift had just 35, most of which were only in the region. From 2004 to 2008, SwapaGift.com saw revenues grow at an average annual rate of more than 200 percent, Kelly said. Despite the recession, Kelly still estimates a full 100 percent boost in 2009.

Below, watch how their business works.

Kelly said Jason Wolfe, CEO of GiftCards.com, was interested in SwapAGift.com’s acquisition strength of cards in the secondary market. The Kellys liked their technology investment and that potential to increase their sales reach.

“In the end, both parties saw the opportunity to bring together and leverage our unique capabilities so we decided to make it official,” he said, noting both company’s customer satisfaction. “Our customer base prior to the acquisition was over 50,000 registered customers, with very high repeat customer loyalty. We were the first web site to offer this service. ”

Kelly said he and wife Mary Jane, 38, are proud it happened in the Philadelphia area. Mike graduated from Temple University’s Fox School of Business, and Mary Jane received an MBA from LaSalle University.

“We have every reason to believe in the Philadelphia area continuing to develop its strong tech reputation. There’s an enormous pool of talent right here, coming from great universities and world-class private organizations in pharma, biotech and technology,” he said. “Philadelphia is well-positioned to strengthen it’s tech reputation.”
