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…
Vegas at Night
Las Vegas is an amazing place, of course it is known for its hotels and casino’s, but it is also one of the United States fastest growing cities. I have been to Las Vegas 3 times and each was great, every year it seems like they are building something new. I have never flown into…
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…
My First Pho
I had not heard of Pho until this year. John always talked about going to get Pho and after checking out his posts I was very intrigued to go try it. Problem was there were no places around Pittsburgh that sold the stuff. Well not so in Vegas! As I said in my earlier post…
Finally In Vegas!
Well I have been waiting for this trip for the longest time! Each January I go to Las Vegas for CES. This year Ashley and I decided to go a few days earlier to get in a little mini-vacation. Last we year decided to stay an extra day, but we were so exhausted it was…
My 2008 Goals
With 2007 coming to an end it is time to set some goals for 2008. Before I get into my goals for 2008 let’s see how I did on my 2007 goals… Keep Up With ThinkComputers – I think I did a good job with this. ThinkComputers puts out at least 3 or more reviews…
Merry Christmas Everyone!
Wow this year has gone fast! I wanted to take the time to tell everyone who reads my blog to have a very Merry Christmas! Last night Ashley and I went to my parents where they have Christmas Eve dinner with all of my family and we exchange gifts. I love the food my parents…
The CES Press Events
As most of you know CES is right around the corner! It is January 7-10th in Las Vegas. CES is one of the largest trade shows in the United Stats that means the show floor is packed! That is why I am really glad there are press events. Press events are smaller and held at…
A New Look for the Office
Well it was about time the office got a new look. It has been pretty much the same since we moved in back in March! I really did not have a problem with the way things were organized, but after having them be that way for so long it was time for a change. Also…
Checking out the Original Quaker Steak & Lube
If you live in the northeast you have probably heard of Quaker Steak & Lube. If not Quaker Steak is a restaurant that is mainly known for their wings. They have a bunch of different wing sauce flavors and you can even buy their wing sauce in grocery stores. The first time I went to…
