CES 2010 Wrap-Up

Daynah — Mon, 11 Jan 2010 04:12:41 +0000

I spent a few days at the Consumer Electronics Show 2010 in Las Vegas, Nevada and had a geeky fabulous time. The conference was huge, and there was just so much to see! And three days was not enough time to see everything.

Most of my time was spent in the 3 major halls, hoping to cover all the latest in technology for you! Here’s an overview of products that I really enjoyed at the show.

EnTourage Edge a ebook reader/tablet hybrid
Lenevo Ideapad Hybrid – new laptop and tablet in one!
Nokia Booklet 3g is Nokia’s new netbook
Cocoon Innovations has some nice and stylish bags for all your gadgets. These bags also come with GRID-IT! organization system that I really like. New bags are not on the website yet.
Case Mate – launched a new line called “I make My Case” where you can design your own case from famous artist’s artwork.
(*)Speck launched some lines of iPhone/iPod Touch cases — Fitted ArstProjekt, Fitted, and Satin Skin.
Gelaskins has some beautiful artwork for your devices.
Tru Protection – has some very nice anti-glare screen protectors for various mobile devices.
ZipCar is a similar to a rent-a-car service, but no attendants are needed. You just pick up the car at your reserved time and go. They now have an iPhone app where you can reserve the cars.
AlgebraPrep is a series of new iPhone/iPod Touch apps to help students prepare for Algebra math classes.
Parrot AR.Drone is a wifi helicopter with 2 cameras on it. You can play it with augmented reality games on your iPhone / iPod Touch!
OnStar iPhone App – launched last at CES that lets you control your Chevy volt with your iPhone.
Lego Universe is a new massively multiplayer online games (MMOGs) coming out that uses Lego people!
NVIDIA 3D Vision allows gaming in 3d. Supercool. More..

I’ll be doing blog posts for the individual products later this week. You can read them over at my blog and iProng Magazine.

I had such a great time at the WeHoTweetup (West Hollywood Tweetup) today! Everyone just came and hung out at 8oz Burger Bar on Melrose in Hollywood. And yes, they even have a twitter page!

The burgers were delicious and the geeky company was even better! It was great seeing everyone and finally meeting some of my twitter friends. There must have been 30+ people there since we took over two very large tables.. heh

By request, I’m listing all the tweets who came so everyone can follow everyone. :) Please let me know if I missed you! Just leave a comment in the post with your twitter name.

LA Tech Karaoke

Daynah — Sat, 18 Apr 2009 04:59:44 +0000

I was looking forward to the The FATHER of All Karaoke Parties – a little post tax day debauchery event all month. Now it’s finally here.

On the Rox (Club above the Roxy) was closed to the general public and only geeks were allowed. ;)

I had such a great night. It was a nice surprise to see Daniel Bedingfield on stage rocking out to Sting’s Englishman in New York! I had a blast seeing my tech friends, meet my twitter friends face-to-face, and made some new friends as well. :)

Steve Nguyen asked me if costumes were ok. I said Yes! And when he arrived, he and his friends made quite the entrance. He came in a big Snoopy costume, and bought two friends — Stewie from the Family Guy and the Red Teletubby! I couldn’t stop laughing. I was expecting 80′s costumes.. like spandex, wild hair, etc. when he asked me — not Halloween costumes. :) I only wished I got to see Steve and his friends walking down the streets of Sunset Blvd.

@RocknRollGeek brought me a surprise present! Such a big box! I wonder what’s inside… going to take a peek.

Albertech, aka @dragonal got so many compliments about his ThinkGeek shirt! lol @blackfeathers was wearing his wifi t-shirt as well. So geeky.

There were lots of great people at the party, and I had an amazing time. I can’t wait until the next one! Check out the twitter stream of the event.

Francisco Dao, thanks for hosting such a great party, and Adept Marketing Concepts, thanks for being a great sponsor!

Many thanks for everyone who came from SF, NY, Canada, and all across Southern California to join us!

@dragonal from Albertech.net took some amazing photos. Here’s the
LA Tech Karaoke Photo Set.

BlackFeathers took this video of LA Tech singing Bohemian Rhapsody! This song was requested by NctrnlBst. (See tweet!)
