    TechRepublic covered CES 2008 from start to finish. We filmed a show on our biggest hits and missed of CES and I wrote an article on the top developments in business technology from CES.

    Now, I’ve put together this informal collection of my photos from CES 2008 in Las Vegas. It includes some general photos of the event along with shots of some of the products that most interested me.

  • Star Trek The Experience at the Hilton in Las Vegas

    I worked 12-18 hour days during CES so I didn’t have much of a chance to see the sights and sounds of Vegas (which is not one of my favorite cities anyway). However, I did walk over to Star Trek: The Experience at the Las Vegas Hilton on Wednesday and had lunch at Quark’s Restaurant, which was very cool.
