Besides all of good times at the parties and events during CES the thing that I took away most from CES was motivation. I have been working on ThinkComputers since 2001 and I wouldn’t have imagined that it would be my full-time job that actually pays well and I enjoy doing. I proved to a…
The CES 2008 Swag
Almost every trade show you go to there will be some type of swag given away, usually its t-shirts and pens, but some companies go out of their way to have some really cool swag to make you remember them. This year at CES I did end up getting a good amount of swag, although…
Sony Online Entertainment Party
As I said before so many parties at CES are the same. Most companies will have their party in a Suite and it usually is the same every year. Well to set themselves apart from other companies Sony Online Entertainment (SOE) has a poker tournament in the spirit of Las Vegas. Now originally I was…
Envy Steakhouse with John Chow
If there is one food I couldn’t live without it would have to be steak. It is probably my favorite food. That is why I was so mad that John was not able to have this years TTZ Media dinner at Envy Steakhouse, as I posted earlier we just went to a buffet. Envy Steakhouse…
Dinner and Phantom of the Opera
There are so many CES parties, but they are mostly all the same. This year LiteOn and AOC did something different. These 2 companies went out of their way to really treat us. First they took us to see Phantom of the Opera at the Venetian. I had not been to a show since high…
Starting Off CES Right!
The only way to start off CES is with a party! This year John, Stephen, and I threw the CES Kickoff Party, but instead of the MGM Skylofts we went with the Absolut Suite at Caesars. The suite is of course themed after Absolut Vodka, what better place to throw a party! The suite has…
CES Kicked My Ass!
Well CES is finally over and I am relieved. I had hoped to give you guys daily updates on what was going on at CES, but that didn’t happen. With all of my meetings, appointments, and partying throughout the week it was really hard to find the time to do work, let alone update the…
A Night of Fine Dining with John Chow
While in Vegas at CES John was nice enough to take me as well as other TTZ Media affiliates out to Roy’s. Roy’s is an award winning Hawaiian themed restaurant. I have only been out to a few restaurants that serve fine cuisine so it was a new experience for me. We were served a…
Our Room at Treasure Island
While in Vegas for CES Ashley and I stayed at Treasure Island. We both were very surprised at the size of the room and how nice it was. Some nice thing about the room was that it had a strip view, LCD TV, a nice desk and table, large mirrors, and a very clean a…
Vegas Photos
While in Vegas I got a chance to take some pictures of the hotel’s and surrounds with my Canon Digital Rebel XT. I am no pro photographer, but I think some of these came out well. I am still learning a lot about my camera and how to get the best shots. Here are some…
The CES Swag!
Well you know when you go to CES you will be coming back with free stuff! Well this year I got double free stuff because Ashley came with me. Above you can see everything that we got. First off the 2 big backpacks were given out to all press at CES. They were really helpful…
The PC Race for Charity
Last year I competed in Tiger Direct’s PC Race for charity. It was a lot of fun and the food was great! So when they asked me to do it again I agreed! The PC race for charity is sponsored not only by Tiger Direct, but by companies like AMD, Microsoft, and Acer. All of…
CES Kick-off Party
Wow finally some time to do a post! On Sunday night we had out party with FutureLooks and The TechZone. We invited all of our friends that would be at CES and all of our sponsors. We did not announce the party at all because last year over 200 people showed up! The only people…
Getting Ready for CES
A while ago I received my press pass for CES. The past week I have been setting appointments and sending RSVP’s for all of the events. Last year CES was a shamble because it was my first time going and I had no clue what to expect. This year I am organized and know what…
Awesome Penguin Game!!
On Tuesday Jason and I went to the Penguin Game. Penguin games are a lot of fun to go to, but they are even better when you are sitting in the igloo club. Igloo club seats are the best seats in the building. They are right on center ice and are the first 20 rows…
