While roaming the CES floor this week, I came across what is probably the coolest projector ever made. It's not that the projector itself was all that impressive, it was the casing that it comes in. It also has a pair of built-in speakers, in case you're doing a multimedia presentation and need audio...

Things don't always go as you wish they would, even at a trade show. For instance, you can forget to ship a critical item for your booth out. Or the game you're demonstrating might not do exactly what you were hoping it would... I just happened to be walking by when this machine blue screened and I snapped...

Ever wonder what to get that friend of yours that's an Elvis nut? Well, I can guarantee you they don't have one of these: Why? That's because they're not for sale just yet.

It has been a hectic couple of days with little time to brain dump all that has happened in the last few days. Since I am headed home I wanted to do a quick recap. After having a rough first day on Friday the rest of my time in Vegas has flown by. Saturday was a blur full of meetings at the Windows Vista...

As most are probably aware, PodTech and Seagate are sponsoring a hangout for bloggers at CES this year called Bloghaus. We're at a rather nice suite at the Bellagio. There's the blogging area, the gaming room (with 2 360's and a PS3), the general schmoozing area, and the bar, where you can see Robert...

I was able to check out some HD Radio broadcasts, and if you haven't had an opportunity to hear your favorite radio station in HD, then you're missing out. This is how it works. Existing radio stations, both FM and AM, will have to spend a little money up front to upgrade their broadcast facilities to...

Today Microsoft arranged an early morning trip over the convention center for us to get our badges. We need these to get into the keynote and this was the best time to do it. After a quick run though the badge process we were given a tour of the Microsoft partner pavillion . After an hour or so of cheking...

If you're an avid fan of flight sim games and have a chunk of change to spare, then you definitely need to check out the Hotseat Flight Sim chair. I got a look at it last night and it's pretty sweet. The base unit comes with just the chassis, no monitor or PC. That version will run you around $1000....

I woke up Friday morning very excited to know that by that evening I would be in Vegas hanging out with a lot of the Microsoft communities and bloggers. Many of whom I have never met or met quite a long time ago. My flight was at 1pm so I finished packing killed time around the house with my family watching...

The Consumer Electronics Show , of course, and it is just around the corner. Everyone is making a mad dash to setup meetings with vendors and RSVP for what are bound to be some very cool events. Like Brandon this will be my first time to attend the show. To be honest this isn't one I even payed attention...
