Although CES 2019 officially starts today, the Monday is kind of a "press day" devoted to many of the biggest companies really putting their best foot forward in press conferences. There are often a few press conferences on the hour, but Samsung, they have the entire hour of 2:00. You can see that I was able to get myself in the back row on this one. H.S. Kim, the … [Read more...] about Samsung Press Conference at CES 2019

Lessons Learned from CES 2018
Well, I have returned from Las Vegas once again after experiencing the wonders that is CES. This shot here is from LG, and I forget what they called this, but it is a canyon of displays of some type. I have discussed a few things about CES, but they are really summaries at best.

CES 2018 with China Tech First Look

Technically, CES 2018 does not start until tomorrow, but if … [Read more...] about First Day at CES 2018, after CES Unveiled
We’re Going to Las Vegas for CES 2018!
Well, I have been taking a few weeks off after recovering from the holidays and all the stuff that I have been reviewing before that time.

CES 2016: The Future is Mesh
Every year, I come to CES as a media representative, and the show is kind enough to provide the media or press with a bag. Needless to say, my family and I got a lot of use from these bags over the years, and these backbags or handbags can usually carry a laptop. Below is an example of a bag that CES used to give out, but to the right is a picture of me with this year's … [Read more...] about CES 2016: The Future is Mesh

What I would expect at CES 2015, an extended Back to the Future II joke
Since we are beginning 2015, it is a year that I have looked forward to for a long time. Why?

At the time, 2015 was 26 years away, so here is what I am looking forward to seeing at CES 2015. First, that flying car. It seems like 2015 was full of … [Read more...] about What I would expect at CES 2015, an extended Back to the Future II joke
