Tales of a CES Noob

posted by AuthorRon Richards on DateJanuary 8, 2009 Comment1 Comment

I have a confession to make.  This is my first CES.  I've always been interested in CES as a show, and for years I've watched Patrick Norton broadcast from CES, highlighting all the cool gadgets and tech, but I never thought I'd ever actually attend CES.  And yet now, here I am.

Sitting in the NBC Universal booth and looking out at all the lights and huge booths, I have to admit I'm pretty overhwhelmed.  

I'm an old vet at attending conferences and conventions.  As a kid my Dad took me to Comdex a few times, which was my 11 year old nerd nirvana.  And in recent years, I've been surviving the San Diego Comic Con while covering it for iFanboy.  After being here at CES for a few hours, I can honestly say that this show puts them all to shame.

The booths are huge.  They're all filled with TVs and sound systems and lights and schwag as far as the eye can see.  This morning I had to swing by the CNET Live Stage, it took me about 30 minutes to navigate to it in the South Hall. After that I had to come over here to the NBC Booth in the Central hall.  I still don't know how I got here or how to get back.  I hope they have food here somewhere, or I may starve...

Lots of people have been asking me what cool tech I've seen or I'm trying to see.  Honestly, I don't know.  I'll be watching Tekzilla and Hak5 to find out what's cool at the show, along with the rest of you.  For me, CES is about survival.  Wish me luck.

Wow, the new year starts quickly. It's barely 2009, and already we're off to both CES and MacWorld to bring you the best hands on coverage from both of these shows. We're doing six live shows from the huge Consumer Electronics Show - aka CES, from Las Vegas this year, along with a full episode of Tekzilla brought to you from the floor of MacWorld.

Let's start with CES. A big crew of Revision3 staff are headed to Las Vegas on Wednesday to bring you the best from the show floor. We'll be live-blogging the event, along with bringing you live programming from the show, courtesy of our friends at NBC. Don't miss Patrick and Veronica, the Hak5 crew, and our Revision3 beta Hack College hosts live and on demand, starting this Thursday. The best way to keep up with everything that's happening is to bookmark the page www.revision3.com/ces, where we'll be feeding all of our blog posts, Twitter updates, live shows and more from CES.

When are we live? Here’s the full schedule:

  • Tekzilla Live: Thursday, Friday and Saturday, catch Patrick and Veronica doing Tekzilla live at 7:30pm eastern, 4:30pm pacific, from the NBC stage.
  • Hak5 Live: Friday and Saturday at 5pm eastern, 2pm pacific
  • Hack College: Live Friday at 4pm eastern, 1pm pacific

If you're in Las Vegas, at CES, please stop by during one or more of our live shows. We're doing them all from the NBC booth, right on the main floor of CES – Central Hall booth number 12133.

If you can't watch the Hak5 or Tekzilla shows live, they'll be available on demand starting about 24 hours later at Revision3.com – at the show's regular pages:

So what about MacWorld? Well before the Tekzilla crew heads to CES late Wednesday, their covering Macworld like a glove – producing a full Tekzilla episode from the show floor. That episode will debut Saturday as well, at Tekzilla’s show page, and across the web via iTunes, YouTube and elsewhere. You can subscribe or watch at www.revision3.com/tekzilla.
