We are in Sin City this week for the 2008 Consumer Electronics Show. The CES is the biggest consumer electronics trade show in the world and the second biggest trade show in the world (the biggest is CeBit). CES is so big that some of the exhibitors have booths that are bigger than all of Blog World combined! Over 140,000 people are expect to descend on Las Vegas to check out the latest and greatest electronic gadgets the world has ever seen.
The big show doesn’t open until tomorrow. There are a bunch of press events going on today. Tonight, I’ll be hosting a party at my suite in Caesar’s Palace. I have to admit, the Absolut Flavor Suite is definitely more colorful than last year’s MGM Skylofts. I’ll post some pics and video later.

One of the most common complaint (or excuse) I hear from potential new bloggers is they don’t know how to install WordPress. Terms like FTP and CPanel are like a foreign language and setting up a database might as well be setting up the space shuttle for a launch. Because of the technology barrier, many would-be bloggers never start their blogs...

Thanks for the invite John!
My girlfriend is a publicist for TV Guide… I was going to send you a Golden Globes gift basket in return.
I’ll be in Vegas in the afternoon. Hoping to see Gates but based on last year, the free tickets are hard to come by. I think they’re instituting wristbands this year. Failing that, I hope to see Jerry Yang Monday at the Hilton. Or better yet John, is there a way a fellow Vancouverite/part-time blogger be able to drop by your reception?
hmm..thats coo! John..you’re everywhere! haha
Wish I was there!
Have fun! It’ll be interesting to see pics and video.
