A (travel?) blog, of the mind and body – Wow… Deep!
I have some extra wine, champagne, spirits and I’ve got more than I can drink, so I’d like to liquidate the liquid. You’re probably coming here from Facebook, if so, hello neighbor. Take a look at what I have, and send me a PM on FB and let me know what you think it is …
Turns out not many people stay for the weekend. Attendance really dropped down as the weekend approached. Made me think it would be good to go to sessions the first couple of days and the exhibition over the weekend. Especially since I didn’t care too much about bringing home stuff (though I did enter for …
I took a few less photos today as I went to a new place (C-Space) that ended up being a dud, and revisited the main convention center. I also visited Google and some other cool out of the way spots too. Yeah, Google was out of the way located in a central outdoor area along …
CES is broken into three “locations” and even at each location there are separate buildings. Today I went to the central part and looked at that expo hall. It was filled with smaller groups but it was still huge. Check out this map. After I walked this floor, I found an entire EXTRA floor in …
The last time I went to CES was in 1988 in Chicago when they still held it there. Was I too young to officially get in? Yes. Did I still go? Yes. Was it mind blowing? Yes. Back then, the most amazing thing was the Karaoke machine which was just being brought onto US shores …
So after working in Hanoi for 5 days, it was time for a vacation. Honestly, the people that live there, I’m not sure how they do it. That place makes NYC seem like a library, or at least the quiet car on Amtrak. A friend of mine (Thanks Zach S.) told me about Ha Long …
Why was I in Vietnam? I was visiting a client. That means we need a before and after (wake up and out the door) picture. Then we have to pick what pair of shoes to wear that day. Since we’ll be visiting a factory have to go with the steel toed boots. I actually still …
The hotel I’m staying at (Hotel D’ Opera MGallery) decided it was time for the holidays. This tree popped up and so did Christmas music in the elevators. Soon the hallway behind me in this photo would be decorated with icicles and LEDs. Quite festive. But you know what every good Christmas Tree needs? Trains. …
I have to admit that when I went to Vietnam, I wasn’t expecting to see glitter in the streets… but we’ll get to that in a moment. You know how you go into a small town, we’ll take one in Maine for instance, and there are still those mom & pop shops that sell specific …
One of the things I’ve seen on the internet was the train going down what looks like a residential street with things being sold and bought. Up until the train comes sauntering down the middle of the street and canopies are pulled in, chairs are stowed, and goods are left out since they are lower …
