The Consumer Electronics Show doesn’t start until January 7 of next year. However, because of the size of the show (over 150,000 people are expected to attend), you have to book things months in advance if you want to find a flight or hotel.

And it comes with its own dance floor and an unlimited supply of Absolut Vodka! Here’s a video of the room. I can’t wait to see it live.
Invites for the 2008 CES Kick Off party will be going out in November. If you don’t get one, it means you’re not important enough.

Because of the technology barrier, many would-be bloggers never start their blogs...
