Las Vegas, for the Consumer Electronics Show
- January 12th - 15th
New York City, for BarCampNYC
This will be my fifth or sixth year going to CES in Las Vegas. Instead of trying to see the whole show in just three days, my dad and I are going to split up and target some very select areas - mostly small Asian electronics manufacturers.
And for BarCampNYC - it is a great excuse to visit my friends at 349 Broadway again. Amit and Mike are working behind the scenes to pull off what promises to be a truly interactive weekend of learning. The unique thing about BarCamp is that All attendees must give a demo, a session, or help with one. I am thinking about sharing what I learned about low-cost outsourcing using websites like eLance, RentACoder and Guru to help build the BuddyGopher back-end. Or I could teach people how to juggle!
Update 1 - As my friend Blake reminded me... The funniest quote that I have is from someone at CES 2004, when I asked where they were on the show floor so that we could meet up-
(phone rings)This joke is funny because there are more than 100,000 LCD screens on display at CES. That number is not really an exaggeration - there is nothing like CES anywhere else in the world. It is technology overload.
Me: Hey! (shouting, because it is so loud) Where are you?
Friend: We're in the LCD section, I think.
