Just when I had adjusted to the three-hour time difference, I’m back from Vegas and very tired.
Overall, it was a good trip, as I’ve already said: productive and cost-effective as far as my work objectives go, and fun as far as everything else goes.
Here are some “reporter’s notebook”-style things I thought I’d mention: Continue reading
You’re not going to believe it’s me saying this, but if I don’t see another TV for a month, it will be too soon.

Hello from Las Vegas, where I’m at for a few days for the Consumer Electronics Show.
It’s my third time at the show and it’s great fun, as work trips go. I’m so eager to see all the new cell phones, camcorders, TVs, etc. that I got to the show more than an hour too early today (I thought it opened at 9, but it opens at 10). Ha. But it’s all good.
Anyway, just wanted to say a quick hello because this time I have a good excuse for not posting. If I find a couple minutes and something I can write about quickly, I’ll try to say hi. Otherwise, I’ll be back with pictures and stories and a fuller report later in the week.
