Catching Up

Falling behind on the ole blogging, I have one huge event in the Cirque Viva Elvis premier that I am working on now, trying to knock that out.  There were some other small events in the past few weeks that may or may not end up getting covered, including a Hilton Tweetup, Snug Crawl and others.

Upcoming is the Lake Las Vegas Beer Fest in a couple Saturdays, St. Patrick's Day and many Gowalla inspired trips.  Hoping to get caught up soon, really need to start pushing from the mobile again, because I am out there busy doing these things, leaving little time to write about them!

CES 2010 - Day 2

Friday was another late start to the show, but did a through pass of the North Hall and Central Halls. Played with the Samsung Moment for a long time, as it is probably going to be my next phone. Yeah, not too sexy, but an Android, so we will give that OS a try. Was cool that Samsung had not just working phones, but with service, at least the one I tried was live.

Watched some 3D television, a cool demo at the Polaroid booth, yes film is back apparently. 3D X Games & FIFA Soccer trailers at the Sony booth gave me a headache, not sure I will be jumping on the 3D bandwagon anytime soon. Also still have not seen Avatar, on a side note.

Saw some hardware that you hook up to your household appliances, so it can tell you when to run them to save the most money. Kinda cool when I saw the demo, kinda lame to everyone I told about since the show. That was courtesy of Intel.

Had a hideous orange phone case forced at me, not much swag this year. Last year tons of USB keys and Micro SD cards, this year, pens and that was about it. Just as well on Friday I was without my car, so I headed out early.

Next stop was the Las Vegas Hilton for the Tweetup, it went well thanks to their great work, @RobertGaines & the absent @PeterAcero. In addition to the great giveaways for food and stays that the Hilton gives up, @IntlCES kicked in some press bags. Still didn't win one... next year press for sure.

Rounded out the evening at the @LenovoSocial & @GDGT Bloggers Lounge Party, very nice, lots of food and drink. Spent some time with other Las Vegas locals and just enjoyed ourselves.

Blog World Expo 09 - Day Zero

Wow, ok no more whiny excuses about why I have not been blogging, forgetting buying my first home and moving, forget being sick, forget having a "real life" job, let's blog.

Kicked off #BWE09 with another great #Tweetup from the @LasVegasHilton, they do a great little gathering that is quickly becoming a Vegas favorite. Add Blog World to the mix and we get a ton of new folks, who were excited to meet the Vegas locals.

The best part for me was getting to befriend someone who I enjoy following on Twitter and introducing him to all the great local Vegas bloggers and social media folks.

I had to call it early tonight but it was a great start for the long weekend.
