CES Rant. And LINKS!

Hello all!

So CES has come and gone and I'm left feeling slightly let down.
Don't get me wrong, CES is amazing and its full of amazing gadgets and tech, but I don't think the media(whatever faction) covered it very well. I heard very little about what was happening, and I can usually find stuff that's hard to get at.

So where was the coverage? To my knowledge, there wasn't any other big events happening. Unless of course there just wasn't enough to be excited about and they had to choose carefully.
I'm actually leaning towards that option. To be honest, compared to CES 2012...from what I saw, CES 2013 wasn't that special. Everyone seems to have announced their groundbreaking news earlier this year or late last. But hey, I'm still a huge supporter and fan, and if I had been there, I'm sure my opinion would be altered. Maybe next year eh?

For those of you who don't know what CES is:
CES stands for Consumer Electronics Show/Showcase, and it is basically a time for all of the major(and not so major) corporations, media groups, software engineers, mobile companies, etc to come together and announce their upcoming projects. Some of them(as seen this year with the Oculus Rift) are not even out of prototype stages.
Its also a time for everyone to go and party. With said gadgets....
The gathering is held at the Las Vegas Convention Center and usually starts in January and ends a day or two later.

Here are some links to groups that reviewed the gathering this year:

Overall, CES seemed to be a success, and I can't wait for 2014's turn.
Enjoy!

Regular update plus BOOKS. Post #

Hello all!

I swear, one of these days I'll fall into routine blogging.
Heeey, I just realized that I had an entire week to make as many posts as I wanted!
It just so happens that I got sick after my last snowboarding trip. Yeah, no fun. Then my eardrum ruptured one night. So my hearing is shot, but hey, its life. Right?

I just wanted to update you guys on whats going on, give a little but of info, insight to...well, not my personal life. Much anyway, Ha!

So I was forced to make a deal with a friend recently...I was to read the Percy Jackson series and she was to read most of Brandon Sandersons books. I must say...I'm hooked now. I do love other worlds and fiction as a general rule, but these are really good books. I don't care if the age group is supposed to be 12-15. It should be 12+.
Oh yeah...and I have to read the other spin off series as well.

But Brandon Sanderson still beats Rick Riordan. Sorry Rick...its nothing personal, he's just...better than you.

Outro:

In case you didn't read the beginning to my post, I got sick after my snowboarding trip. Like, the DAY after. I've been flat on my back since. Trying to get back into the world here!! Let me know if I missed anything important.

Anyways...its closing in on lunch and I don't want to miss it! ;D
