I’ve mentioned before that I do video screencasts for Don McAllister’s ScreenCasts Online subscription podcast. He lets me pick the topic (with veto powers) but this time he probably should have talked me out of it.

Continue readingWhat is CES Like?
The first thing you need to know about CES is that everyone who attends has a completely different experience. If you’re a vendor, it’s a grueling grind. You probably travel long distances (many vendors are non-English speaking Chinese people who must have had horrible flights over), you stand in a booth for 12 hours or […]
