Want CES Coverage?

Published

on January 5, 2005

CES is Gadget Heaven, and while I haven’t yet attended myself, here are a couple of recommendations to keep up on all of the shiny new toys being announced:

Engadget - The king of gadget sites. They’ve got guys on the ground, and are planning very thorough coverage (50+ posts per day). Plus, they just rock.

X-Gadget - My friends over at R3 Media, lead by the inimitable Vincent Nguyen, have a crack team of gadget lovers on the floor, too, looking for the best of what’s new.

I’ll be commenting here occasionally on things I find particularly noteworthy, and we’ll have some discussion in the next TinyPodcast (which should be out tomorrow, BTW).

What a great time to be a gadget geek!

In Dirk Hohndel’s OSCON session on Moblin.org, the community for Linux on MIDs, netbooks, and nettops. #
OSCON panel on failure, community anti-patterns. #
@sourcecode IRC is the granddaddy of today’s web communities. Old school. #
Headed home after OSCON for the day. Downside to conferences in your town, you’re tempted to spend family time. #
@Yasumoto What I meant was, it’s easy for me to skip out on conference activities in favor of family time. #
Did anyone manage to capture the KGW iPhone story in a sharable format? Preferably a file, rather than somewhere like YouTube. Thanks! #
@annierodkins It’s some kind of booth stunt. People are walking around with numbered stickers on their person. I haven’t been by to see it. #
@conroyl Yay! You’re going to love your Mac. Now, get the book “Switching to Mac - The Missing Manual”. Get the one that covers Leopard. #
@conroyl And I will be happy to answer any and all Mac questions, share tips, etc, so ask away! #
Between the spotty OSCON connectivity and the Failwhale, I won’t be tweeting much today. #
Retweet from @brampitoyo: Here’s the KGW video of me, @turoczy, and @ravenzachary talking iPhones. I haven’t watched yet. http://is.gd/12gT #
@tersteeg is showing off the underwear he got from @jmoriarty. :-O I can’t even tweet what @billpearson is talking about… #
@tersteeg, @jmoriarty, and @billpearson sitting next to me with their laptops out, I felt left out, so here I am with mine. #
Art of Community lightning talks are awesome so far. @geekygirldawn rocked. @sulagarcia is up now, talking about sarcasm. Must write faster! #
@billpearson I’m being retro geeky with a dead tree notebook and my iPhone. #
Giving up on taking paper notes during lightning talks. I just can’t keep up. So now I’ll let the Internet scatter my attention. #
Really great web based countdown timer stopwatch they’re using onscreen for the lightning talks: http://www.online-stopwatch.com #
@billpearson I’ve noticed that the people giving the community lightning talks are all women. Smart women rock! #
Just had an onscreen cameo in the lightning talks. Guess @divadanese forgot to turn off Twitterrific. #
Many thanks to @geekygirldawn, @divadanese, and all the others for the awesome community lightning talks! #
Retweet: @turoczy, @ravenzachary, and @spinnerin will on OPB Think Out Loud (radio) tomorrow morning. Someone make sure to record and post! #
@ejacqui The orange Crocs and I are everywhere! We were even on the local news last night. #
Best part of OSCON? Running into friends I only see at these events. Too many to name. I love you guys! #

Running late. @rachelbancroft is at Cub Scout camp all day, so it fell to me to get the kids to the sitter, which can’t happen til 8:30. #
Bummed that I’m going to miss the opening OSCON keynotes. #
@billpearson didn’t know you were coming to OSCON. Sticking around for the whole time? I’m inbound on the train. #
@billpearson cool - I’m sure I’ll run into you sooner or later. #
@billpearson I’ll pay no more than $40. #
Whoa. Local news channel 8 KGW just called me. They’re doing a story on the “iPhone craze”, meeting me at OSCON right now to film. Crazy! #
Got a similar call yesterday from the Oregonian for an iPhone story that’s supposed to be in today’s paper. Yay for friends in local media! #
@turoczy I’m meeting them outside the main entrance. Not sure where we’ll go film. Come on over! #
I told them to look for the guy in orange shoes. I’m pretty easy to spot. #
@turoczy pontificating about his old iPhone to KGW news (after I did the same): http://twitpic.com/54k2 #
Any OSCON women with an iPhone want to be on TV? Come to D131 RIGHT NOW! #
@bikehugger I know! TV news guy wanted a woman to film. I know many that are here, but all were busy, I guess. #
The iPhone piece KGW just filmed will be on tonight at 5 and 6:30pm. Channel 8 local, will be on kgw.com, too. Don’t miss me and @turoczy! #
In @markgross’s session on building a dev box for OSS development. Lots of arcane mail config voodoo - mutt, procmail, etc. #
Is it really THIS complicated to set up email? Do we still have to worry about a mail server rejecting our mail because headers are wrong? #
I haven’t seen anything described so far that GMail can’t do (sorting, etc.). In fact, he’s using Gmail via POP in his example. *boggle* #
Just ordered a dozen or so free books for my Kindle, thanks to Tor.com. They should arrive momentarily. http://tinyurl.com/5jy458 #
Next OSCON session: The Age of Literate Machines with Zak Greant. #
Now in @selenamarie’s OSCON session, Running a Successful User Group. #
Favor: can someone please record/capture the iPhone segment on the KGW news tonight at 5 and 6:30pm? I won’t be near a TV, want to blog it. #

@conroyl Windows apps in a birtual machine on a Mac work perfectly (except high end games). Much better than the old days. #
@dtwood I’ll definitely be sharing my presentation, once it’s refined a little more. #
What’s the situation on the ground at OSCON today? What are the “can’t miss” goings on? #
I’ll be in the “People for Geeks” session later. Sounds cool, plus @selenamarie is a rock star. #
@funkatron um, wow. Sorry I missed that! #
@jmoriarty arriving momentarily… #
At OSCON, grabbed early lunch and requisite Mt Dew, de-crapified my bag, and now I’m ready to roll! Er, sit. Or whatever it is we do here. #
@jmoriarty I avoided the lunch rush, grabbed a slice of pizza (I was starving). I’m loitering upstairs before the next session. #
Really happy about the fake red moleskine notebook from Google in the OSCON schwag bag. I love those things. I’ll take yours if not wanted. #
OSCON schwag bag highlights: http://twitpic.com/516d #
Apparently there are multiple collectable colors of the Google notebooks. Gotta catch em all! #
Headed over early with @jmoriarty to @selenamarie’s session “People for Geeks”. #
@sourcecode Super Secret launch of the Google Notebook Dead Tree Edition at OSCON - in all the google colors! http://tinyurl.com/5c5svp #
@rklau Amazon never said all books would be $9.99. They said bestsellers would be $9.99, and most would be $9.99, but lots are more $$. #
@rklau There have been a lot of Kindle books I’ve not purchased because they were more than $9.99. Seems to be a mental inflection point. #
Bunch of managers just “outed” themselves in the “People for Geeks” session (we’re talking about How to Speak Manager). #
@schwern You did a great job. I shall do my best to apply it, and Not Be A Jackass. #
OH: “If your boss is an idiot, and is still allowed to work for your company, then you need to find a job at a different company.” #
Good thing my boss (@billpearson) is VERY not an an idiot. I need to work harder at making him look good, though. #
OH: What ARE bosses for? Bosses clear away problems, and make it possible to do your job without interference, have what you need etc. Amen. #
Mike Arrington wants Intel to help him build his web tablet: http://tinyurl.com/5gycsc That’s what we do, Mike. How can we help you? #
@iSundevil @Britopian I’m not sucking up to @billpearson, just being honest. Unless it’s working, in which case, I’ll do it more. #
After a much needed mint brownie and Mt Dew break, we’re back. @jmoriarty is becoming my Soda Butler - he hooks me up! #
@selenamarie just took the stage in OSCON People for Geeks. Her preso is “Leading Without Being In Charge”. She’s a user group expert. #
@selenamarie See? That pre-emptive “good job” I gave you was well deserved! And nice Legion of Tech plug in there. #
OSCON (Google guys): “Sometimes people in a company like to ‘play company’, setting up processes for no reason.” Sad AND true. #
@DivaDanese Which OH? Probably not. I’ve just been tweeting snippets from the People for Geeks tutorial. #
@blogan OH = shorthand for “overheard”. I’ve been using it to indicate it’s something I heard, rather that something from my brain. #
OSCON Day 1 (for me) in the bag. Skipping evening festivities to head home and spend time with @rachelbancroft and the kids. #

In an all day ISN team face to face meeting at a coffee grinding company (Longbottom). Wifi is sluggish… #
@amybarton Yay! I’m glad you got to film the CERN guy. I’m bummed that I’ll miss him. Can’t wait to see the video! #
When someone tells me to close my laptop lid, because they want my full attention, they’d dang well better be interesting. #
Interesting discussion on work life balance and separation. I’m secretly tweeting this, supposed to be “paying attention”. #
@jmoriarty Yearning for coffee? Dude, we’re inside. A. Coffee. Factory. #
Longbottom Coffee, where we’re having our all day face to face meeting: http://snipurl.com/32kem #
@billpearson Yes, Twitter is a religion, and I am a convert. Can I come in to your house and tell you a little more about it? #
At the Legion of Talk Mark Shuttleworth event at the Mission Theater. In line for food. Should be a great night! #
Shuttleworth is awesome. I chose not to live tweet, but focus, relax, and listen. Video will be available if you missed him. #
Woo hoo! My feeds say that the WordPress iPhone app is out! But I can’t see it in the store yet. The suspense is KILLING me! #
@caseorganic You’re welcome! Glad to answer your Kindle questions. If you buy one, use the affiliate link on my blog! #
@jmoriarty Yes. The iPhone app has been submitted, and it appeared in my “new apps” RSS feed, but it’s teasing. It’s not in the store yet. #
A ha! I was poking around the App Store under Utilities (per @danielpunkass), and WordPress finally showed up! Now, to try it out. #
WordPress for iPhone screenshot: http://snipurl.com/32vgk #
As much as I like it in general, the iPhone keyboard is AWFUL for typing HTML. Angle brackets are buried so far away! #

@iSundevil You take a screenshot on iPhone 2.0 by hitting the Home and Sleep buttons at the same time. Image goes into your Camera Roll. #

Lunch at new place, Tokyo Station. Cool model train going to the kitchen and back. Still waiting on my shrimp tempura udon. #

Ugh. Not feeling well today. Started last night. Woozy. May not make it through the day… #
@rachelbancroft I had a good breakfast. Well, a chicken biscuit from McDonalds. But I can tell my body definitely needs real, good food. #
@hangry The phrase “for the love of toast” is a staple in our vocabulary. I don’t really know where it came from, but even Emma uses it. #
@turoczy We tried to take care of the place while you and @kveton were gone. Some ruffians showed up for #isf yesterday, but are behaving OK #
@JoshProStar You can use Twitter from the Kindle - just go to m.twitter.com in the browser. In practice, it’s kind of slow. Emergencies only #
@macfixer I had a Twitter emergency when I bought my new iPhone, and it deactivated my old one. Had to use my Kindle to tweet/stay connected #
@AaronTersteeg I still read your tweets 5 by 5, 10-4, good buddy, over and out. #
Feeling somewhat better, but now I’m faced with finding something good for lunch, when I have no appetite. #
In case you were wondering, the Amazon Kindle DOES charge over USB: http://tinyurl.com/6buvme #
Here’s how Amazon can deal with the iPhone “threat” to the Kindle: make a Kindle app for the iPhone. You heard it here first. #
@jschultz There are already two great ebook apps for the iPhone - eReader and Stanza. Stanza can read Mobi books, but not Kindle books… #
What I’m thinking of is a Kindle iPhone app that’s tied to your Amazon account, can download and read the books you buy from Amazon, etc. #
There’s absolutely no reason Amazon couldn’t do a Kindle iPhone app right now, if they wanted to. But only Amazon can do it, because of DRM. #
@RichSPK You’re right, Kindle would have the advantage of the bigger, eInk screen, and battery life. Those can be reasons to upsell! #
And why stop at the iPhone? Why not make a Kindle Reader app for Mac, Windows, Linux, etc. The .AZW format is just Mobi + DRM. This is easy. #
@SarahCofer Interesting idea. Ping me after next week (after OSCON)? Would love to talk more about it. #
@bobduffy There’s already a cloud site for people to buy, rate, and discuss Kindle books - http://amazon.com/kindle. #
@bobduffy iPhone + eReader (which is also on every other platform) is great for books. I bought dozens of books from them before my iPhone. #
@cvelis You know that you can hide individual items, or all items of a type in FriendFeed, right? Never see, say, Twitter posts if you want. #
@segphault Shozu is a killer photo uploader app for Windows Mobile. I loved it. Or you could upload via email straight to Flickr. #
@bobduffy Are you talking about “Friend of a Friend” stuff? You can hide all of that. #
@bobduffy @cvelis You do have FriendFeed to send comments (optionally) to Twitter also, right? #
@cvelis I’m still working on my Grand Unified Tubes Theory of the Internet. It keeps getting bigger. Which makes it harder to write. #
@bobduffy Um, unsubscribe from those people? Choose to hide everything from them? Or are you talking about comments? That’s what you WANT #
Just added my FriendFeed “Likes” and “Comments” to my linkblog: http://linkblog.joshbancroft.com. Check it out for my commentary on the news #
@lauriegbuczek The CIO scheduled a 5PM meeting on a Friday? That should be an offense punishable by… Something equally horrible. #
@jmoriarty They don’t need sleep. I heard they’re cyborgs. They keep managing. And they’ll NEVER STOP! Not until we’re all 100% on our MBOs! #
@segphault Yes, I’ll be at OSCON all week (except Monday). We should definitely meet up! #
Want to see Dark Knight tonight, but I hate crowded, noisy theaters. Maybe I’ll see Hancock instead, catch Dark Knight another time. #
Ended up seeing Dark Knight. It was SUPERB. Dark, twisty, unpredictable, and long (in a good way - I didn’t want it to end). Go see it. #
I’d never seen any of Heath Ledger’s other movies, and I kind of figured the posthumous Oscar talk was just hype, but he deserves it 4 Joker #

Giving a training on “Social Tools for Engineers” to my boss’s boss’s staff in about an hour. Nervous. #
This “Social Tools for Engineers” training will evolve and be given many more times, but this is the first. Hope I don’t suck! #
@Alsymer Thanks. It’ll eventually be public (I’ll share the URL when it’s ready). Maybe it will be helpful! #
Training in boss’s boss’s staff meeting over. Only got through 25% of my stuff. Lots of discussion, though, which was good. Will go back #
Did you know that IE6 can’t view a Google Docs presentation? At all? And did you know that IE6 is the only browser Intel supports? #
@billpearson @mediumtall Wow, sounds like ISF is a snoozer. #
@billpearson You going to see @charleneli later? Tell her I said “hi!” #
@kellyrfeller @billpearson Go to http://hashtags.org/tag/isf/ to see the #isf hashtags. Or do a search.twitter.com (which works better, IMO) #
@amybarton Thank you. I didn’t even get to the good stuff! (Search feeds, Twitter, FriendFeed, etc.) #
@amybarton I’m sure you’ll get the “honor” of seeing the rest of it before SES. #
@kellyrfeller They’re not “normal” in the sense that they’re not “mass market”. They’re otaku geeks out on the edge of the influence curve. #
@trhuseby Didn’t record this session, as it’s not baked yet. But I’ll make a recorded version available at some point. Thanks! #
@bobduffy No way to create a group on Twitter without serious hacks. I used to use “with_friends” (as did tweetpeek.com). It got disabled. #
@bobduffy FriendFeed room + imaginary friends works for groups. So does search.twitter if you don’t have too many people. #
@billpearson I don’t know what you’re talking about. I’m a rock star. Also, I Am Iron Man. #
Picked up a Mighty Bright XtraFlex2 book light for my Kindle last night at Powells. Works great, but 3xAAA batteries = heavy. Good for bed. #
Great. Just when Twitter was running fast and smooth, they have to go rearrange all the furniture and screw things up again. #
Whoa - Hector Ruiz stepped down as CEO of AMD: http://tinyurl.com/5jke4k #
And now Twitter is back to the old look. I don’t know what they’re playing at, but Twitterrific stopped working. Is the API down again? #

Favorite quote this week: “Passion is a great way to lubricate the machine of serendipity.” (Jon Udell). Applies all over the place! #
Oops. That should have been “Passion is a good way to lubricate the engine of serendipity.” Not machine. #
FriendFeed seems really quite lately. Is it because Twitter became usable again? #
@blogan What’s the state of K2’s compatibility with WP 2.6? Is it safe yet? #
Twinkle for the iPhone (Twitter geo client thingy) is out. Playing with it now. #
No option to turn the sounds off in Twinkle = lame, but the fact that it shows all updates near me is awesome. #
@ejacqui oh. Duh. I was stuck in the Identity subscreen, and didn’t see it. Luckily, Twinkle crashed, and I found it after. #
Testing the photo button in Twinkle. Does this go to Twitpic? http://snipurl.com/30h89 #
Ooh, I like how Twinkle shows that picture (and this one) as an attachment, rather than just a twitpic URL. Nice. http://snipurl.com/30h9x #
(Checking from Twitterrific) ah, the pictures go to twinkle.tapulous.com, shortened as a snurl. #
@julieteaston yes, just touch the little switch. Don’t try to slide it. #
Wish I could tell Twinkle to use my Twitter avatar photo. I don’t have it on my iPhone, so I can’t add it in Twinkle. #
Sad: muxtape.com no longer works on the iPhone. Happy: apparently, there’s a native app coming. #

Whoa! I just discovered that emailing a photo from iPhone no longer resizes it to 640×480 (now it’s 800×600 - better, but not original). #
See here for a photo on Flickr that was emailed from my iPhone, but is 800×600 (instead of 640×480): http://tinyurl.com/6dzb9p #
@lunarobverse Emailing a photo strips EXIF data, including location. Only way I know to preserve is to sync to a PC, then upload from there. #
@lunarobverse I’ve tried all the photo uploading apps, none preserve the location info. I have high hopes for @frasierspiers’ Flickr Export. #
@jkendrick That Acer link is a dead end, and I can’t find anything about it on jkontherun.com. Embargo? Post get unpublished? Aliens? #
The O’Reilly Kindle books are now available! http://tinyurl.com/5tyuqn Just sent samples of all the ones I haven’t read to my Kindle. Yay! #
The Intel Software Network web devs cornered me in a room and grilled me about the future of ISN’s blog platform. Good times. #
I’m a bachelor this week (@rachelbancroft’s at her mom’s), and I’m not taking very good care of myself. Still at work. Didn’t eat lunch. #
For the record, I’m trying to find someone internal to address the whole “Intel stole EcoGeek.com’s Logo” issue. Got info? Let me know. #
At Powell’s Beaverton. Long day. I don’t know how, but my phone has full blue dot GPS lock in this large building. Very cool. #
@kellyrfeller Glad it’s fixed. I should have given it benefit of the doubt, but stuff like that has been done intentionally before. Sorry. #
@geekygirldawn I’m not going to say anything either way, but I’m eager to see where Intel’s various communities fall in that list. #
I love that so many Intel Software Network meetings end up using Twitter as a backchannel. Meetings are so much more fun with a backchannel! #
@billpearson Have you ever heard me sing? Singing to Midomi on my iPhone doesn’t count. #
@robteix And yet, our meetings are among the most effective I’ve ever participated in. #
Does anyone know if the new Hillsboro Library (on Brookwood) has wifi? #
Ah, the Hillsboro Library DOES have wifi. Should have Googled first: http://tinyurl.com/5776eb #
@adamd made an AWESOME iPhone Inventory tracker. Check it out if you’re still looking for one (or just to admire): http://tinyurl.com/6e842g #
@Britopian LOL are you going to preface all of your marketing tweets with that warning? Maybe I should try that. #
I still have one really irritating problem with my iPhone 3G. Occasionally, Safari will roll over on its side, no matter how I hold it. #
It’s like Safari wants its belly scratched, so it’s rolling over. It doesn’t care if it irritates me. Reboot fixes it. Bad accelerometer? #
Going to work from the library this afternoon. I have some stuff I need to concentrate on, uninterrupted, and that just can’t happen in JF1. #
Plus, I love the idea of being surrounded by books, words, ideas, and knowledge. Even though I’m anti-dead tree, I still love libraries. #
@StevenWalling Yeah, but these are the ONLY problems I’m having with it. It’s otherwise perfect, much better than ANY other phone I’ve used. #
Man, the new Hillsboro Library is great. Very geek friendly. I’ll be coming here more often. http://tinyurl.com/5nwxe8 #
Don’t forget the tweetup tonight with @charleneli, at the Governor Hotel (where Internet Strat. Forum is). 8:30pm http://tinyurl.com/56dfte #
I’ve spent the last 6 hours creating a Presentation in Google Docs. That is one impressive web app. I’ll never use PowerPoint again. #
It’s looking like I won’t make tonight’s tweetup with @charleneli. Too much work to do, and I’m not feeling great. Have fun without me! #
@charleneli Aw, man! Cancelled flights suck. But at least you’re still going to make it to PDX. Everyone, the tweetup is cancelled. Sorry! #
Haircut done, getting food at Daphne’s, then over to Powell’s to get more work done. #
I am STUNNED at how good Shazam is. It not only nailed the Kelly Clarkson song at the hair place, but it got the Greek pop song at Daphne’s. #

Restoring my iPhone 3G. Hold me, I’m scared! #
@ravenzachary Yeah, I expect it to take about the same amount of time as my 1.0 -> 2.0 upgrade. Still a scary time, though! #
@jmoriarty Hey, how come I can’t comment on your Open Port post? Are you trying to stifle conversation? Don’t make me karate chop you! #
@queenmarypat I LOVE my iPhone 3G, almost as if it were a tiny, glass-and-plastic member of my family. #
@ejacqui I was getting MASSIVE delays in most apps when the keyboard comes up. 30 seconds or more. Doing a restore to see if it helps. #
And my iPhone is back from Restore Land. Had a scary couple of minutes where it couldn’t pick up a cell signal, though the radio was nuked. #
Wait. Why does iTunes want to restore my phone from backup AGAIN, when I try to sync now? #
@kellyrfeller Why do I have to register just to post a comment? And why is there nothing on the page that tells me so? Kinda user-hostile… #
@greghughes I want it to restore from a backup, but it JUST did that, like 5 minutes prior. I’ll let this one run its course. #
@eriksr I’ve brought all of my iPhone troubles upon myself - messing around, restoring, etc. Majority of people never deal with any of this. #
@bschlenker Looking for an iPhone game? Get Tap Tap Revenge. It’s free, and awesome! Think Guitar Hero/DDR on iPhone. #
@eriksr iPhone is light years beyond Windows Mobile in terms of stability (I used WM for years). My probs are because I’m on bleeding edge. #
Hmm. This second, unnecessary iPhone backup restore seems to be stalled around 50%. Should I intervene, or leave it? #
As in, the “Restoring iPhone from backup” progress bar hasn’t moved in 20 minutes. How bad is it if I interrupt? #
I unplugged it. Phone was completely wedged. I forced it into recovery mode, going to try another restore. *sigh* #
After this restore, I’m NOT going to restore from a backup. Start clean, then sync stuff over. What I should have done in the first place. #
Plan Restore-but-don’t-load backup was successful. Data synced back over, syncing media now. None of the hiccups I was hoping to squash yet. #

My iPhone 3G has been behaving MUCH better after restoring to 5A347 and not restoring a backup. No freezes/reboots, location working great. #
