CES – Consumer Electronics Show If it runs on electricity or batteries and an individual might buy it, it’s at CES.

It went from a hugely successful catchphrase to”duh, that’s so obvious” it goes without saying. I think this was one of those really big shifts (notice I didn’t use the term pyridine shift because I don’t want to be considered one of those people). It’s one of those changes […] I want to show you something that I think is not only very very cool but something that will change things from movies to theme park rides to advertisements.

I can’t say I care much. The NBA games over the years have deteriorated into spoiled super athletes who run down the court (notice I didn’t say up and down) and shoot, maybe dunk. If […] How cool is this? You are waiting for your morning train (subway) to get to work when you remember you finished all the milk with your cereal this morning.
