During this year's CES a blogger / reporter from the gadget blog Gizmodo used a Tv-B-Gone to turn off televisions en mass on the show floor. Although hilarious, you got to think some tech who set up the demo booths got chewed out when the monitors when down during the Motorola presentation for example.

The blogger / reporter in question has been banded for life from future CES' and I'm sure that future bloggers will be feeling the fallout from this. So keep that in mind fellow VOXers next time you visit a trade show and get the cold shoulder, you'll know why.

During the lead up to CES I have listened to the TWIT round table bemoan yet another trip to CES or skip it entirely. Those of us less fortunate (such as myself) would love the chance to visit the CES floor and not just for the chance to stalk Molly Wood. I mean totally accidentally run into her on the show floor, strike up a conversation, convince her to give me a lock of her hair and create my very own House of Mollys a la House of Cosbys. To each his own.

Every night I would fall asleep in bed reading (on the afore mentioned Touch) about CES products on engadget and c|net and I didn't even care that half of the products featured wouldn't be out this year or never since I can't afford them anyway. It is always great to see everything that will be coming down the pipe in the next few years and having more technologically versed individuals sift through the chaft for me. Thanks everyone.

I did catch half of one of the three Buzz Out Loud live shows that were streamed directly from the c|net stage at CES. I was a little disappointed that the BOL producer Jason Howell was off camera though. Still, not definite proof that he is fictional.

Now to convince Donna into going on a Las Vegas holiday that coincides with CES. "Why look honey it's the worlds largest consumer electronic trade show and it's on right now... what are the chances?" Something tells me she wouldn't fall for it either.
