Las Vegas - Consumer Electronics Show -Day 1

Thanks to Nancy for taking this pic. This is outside the Riviera Hotel and Casino where we were staying for the 2007 Consumer Electronics Show. I was only able to attend the event for two of the six days it ran (4 days of exhibits plus two days of press events), but that was two days too many for my feet, which were sore by the end of day one, which is when we took this pic.

How I survived a trip back home from Costa Rica, then on to Vegas and endured the show, I'll never know. I got to check out some nice iPod accessories, as well as new media servers, which I think are going to be really big soon now that the prices are coming down. For a couple hundred bucks, you can watch every movie or TV show stored on your computer right on your TV, either wirelessly, or plugged in using a digital connection for Ethernet.

I also got to interview Fred von Lohmann, whose a really big dog when it comes to consumer electronics freedom. He's a lawyer for the Electronic Frontier Foundation. More to come tomorrow!
