Two blocks down the street from KLAS-TV, the Las Vegas Convention Center is still cleaning up from the self-indulgent tech conference known as the Consumer Electronics Show. Numbers astound. The first and biggest event of the year in the undisputed king of convention cities: 175,000 attendees ...
Sunday I was down. I dislike January, and the start to any new year. As I've explained before, that "fresh slate" doesn't motivate me, it only reminds me of all that remained undone from the year before, and that ALSO does not motivate me. Goal-setting has proven not to be a valuable concept in...
As a long-time VO blogger, I'm keenly aware of the topics that get a significant response. The issue of rates is in the top three. 'Might even be #1 on most days.That was ONE of the reasons why Anne Ganguzza and I launched the WoVO-sponsored R.A.D.A.R. online roundtable discussions. (Rates And...
Got a minute?...er....well...a couple of minutes? The technology, planning, and marketing behind a show like CES is beyond imagination. It all comes together for 4 days in the Las Vegas Convention Center, and this year almost 200,000 people paid homage. I spent all of 2.5 hours roaming around the...
My sites are set squarely on CES today. 'Almost embarrassing that a Vegas geek like me hasn't set foot on the exhibit floor until the third day! My planned stops include Blue Microphones, Shure, Microsoft, and about 50 other impromptu stops along the way. 🙂 Until I get back with pics of cool...

...is in Las Vegas this week. The annual Consumer Electronic Show (CES) started Tuesday. Roughly 150,000 people are attending from all around the globe. It's not open to the public, but any working journalist can get in, and it doesn't hurt that the Las Vegas convention center is a 3-block walk...
At the most recent CES confab in Vegas, I ran into one of my all-time favorite many-times-over-entrepreneur, John Pozadzides (his friends call him John-P). We crashed into each other at the Blue Microphone exhibit, cause, well...let's face it... they have the coolest stuff! Also, John is the...
My total time at CES this week was 4 hours one morning...maybe more like 3 hours and 25 mins. That may sound like a lot, but time goes like: (I think you get the idea). The microcosm of the Exhibit Floor is like a futuristic city of commerce with all the finest in hucksterism, sales,...
