CES is the biggest convention of geeks and gadgets in the world. It&#8217;s even big by vegas standards. I was basically hiking at a moderately fast pace from 9 am until 6 PM with only a few breaks to talk to people.. The funny thing aotu this show is htat it&#8217;s not my industry.. when I typically go to a conference, I spend a ton of time talkign to folks I know. Here I only ran into a few folks I new&#8230;.. which was both refreshing and a little lonely.<\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 480px; text-align: left;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 480px; text-align: left;\">I had a really good time checking out the stuff here.. everything form car audio to pocket knives, from flat screen TV&#8217;s to wind generators. &gt;.. All in all, though . I came away with the feeling.. &#8216;Who needs all this stuff&#8217; . We really do consume so much in the world.<\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 480px; text-align: left;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 480px; text-align: left;\">I took a bucnh of pictures.. but they don&#8217;t really convey the frenteic and croded environment of the place.. Instead of commentign on each one.. I think I&#8217;m going to try it as a slideshow.
