Rob and I just headed over to the Sands Hotel to pick up our Press credentials, which we’ll be wearing the entire time we’re here. We’ve also picked up this year’s CES bag swag (yep, Rob has another gadget bag. Don’t tell his wife.) The Press Room has table set up with Lan lines galore [...]
Warner and I are headed to the Venetian to get our press passes and attend the CES Unveiled Press Conference. We are going to give the HP iPAQ 310 Travel Companion (on eval ) a go and see how it does in getting us from the Luxor to the Venetian. Then again, Warner does have [...]
I’m off to CES and looking forward to seeing Rob this afternoon – and meeting Warner for the first time in person! My gear bag is stuffed full for this trip just in case I need anything special to keep everyone up to date with the new stuff at CES. This promises to be a [...]
Call this one of those things you learn on the way to learning something else, I guess.

What’s new at CES this year? In addition to new toys that are smaller, shinier, and faster, you’ll find gadgets that are “greener.” This AP story echoes a theme being carried across major media outlets:
Finally got settled in after waiting about an hour for my luggage. The Las Vegas has to have one of the slowest baggage claims ever. Got settled in to the room and am waiting on Warner to show up. He’s probably waiting on his bags, too. I’ve got everything all set up and ready to [...]
Rob and I are spending time together in two separate airports, as we head to Vegas. Should be fun and productive, especially since Rob is lugging around super secret Tablet PCs. I’m actually enjoying using the OQO Model 02 on my travels so far on this trip. Hopefully I’ll be able to be as light [...]
I’m sitting in the Colorado Springs airport waiting for my flight to Las Vegas, cruising the internets on my OQO over my Verizon aircard.

In Podcast #43, Sierra and I chat about InkSeine, TabletKiosk’s eo / Menlow announcement, what Menlow is, Sierra’s upcoming cruise and what she’s taking, the often-talked about Apple Ultra-Portable, and Macworld. That’s right – I can’t stand all this buzz any longer, and I’m going to attend my first Macworld conference in January. If anything [...]
