I sold it all. The rack with 8 rackmount servers in it, the four robomowers, the two extra laptops, the projector, home theater PC, and the stereo system. Huge bags full of every cable and adapter ever made (in triplicate) were thrown into the trash.

Every year right after the holidays, it’s time for two trade shows that most gadgeteers look forward to either attending or reading about. These are The Consumer Electronics Show and Macworld. I’ve attended CES many times in the past, but this year I wanted to do something different… So, I decided to attend my very first Macworld in San Francisco, California. It’s about time, considering that I made the hop to OS X over two years ago.

Tuesday

My 750v is really getting on my nerves. If you remember (and read yesterday’s report…), I’ve been having a few issues with it this trip. Well this morning the alarm I had set to wake me at 7am didn’t go off. [ I thought Microsoft fixed the problem with alarms not firing. If I can't count on a smartphone to help me keep the appointments that I set, then I really don't want to be using that particular smartphone. So, I think I'll be looking elsewhere soon. iPhone maybe? ;o) I need something sooner than 6 months out though.

That’s right, it’s time for the 2007 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, Nevada. I made the trip out to the mecca of all things gadgety and will be bringing you all the yummy details as the show unfolds.

Updated with Day 2
This year, Microsoft changed things up and decided to hold two Mobius events back to back. The first one was held in Thailand, and the second one here in the US. Typically, the events here in the US have always been held in Seattle, WA., near Microsoft’s Redmond headquarters. But this year they opted for Boston, MA. Lucky for me, I was invited to the Boston event. This meant a short 2hr flight, instead of 4-5 hours to Seattle.

Greetings from Nashville, Tennessee where the weather is great and the people are friendly! I’m Kerry and yes, I am a gadgeteer. My friends think because of my Asian roots that it is my cultural duty to perpetuate the Asian stereotype with gadgets in hand, which I don’t deny… just visit Las Vegas during a Consumer Electronics Show. For me it is almost like having a Roots experience. I’ve graduated from anything with a power cord attached to wireless and battery powered gadgets.

Hong Kong, to me and a lot of my neighbors here, is a microcosm
of all that is hectic and stressful. Americans would most likely
compare it to New York. Having lived and worked in Washington DC
and traveling extensively to New York, I can only say that Hong
Kong is possibly a tad faster paced than New York. In many ways,
this is really what drives my love and need for gadgets. I’ve been
a gadget freak or gear head from quite some time. If … [visit site to read more]

I bought a used CLIE NX70v
on eBay a few weeks ago for AU$200 because I wanted a PDA that I
could use at school to enter data with. I recently trimmed down to
just carrying an imate SP5 smartphone (very similar to the SP5m
reviewed on The-Gadgeteer) which is fantastic as a phone and
read-only PDA, but it was terrible for text entry. The first week
back at school had me longing for my touch-screened, keyboarded PDA
(previously the imate KJAM) for entering … [visit site to read more]

I started being interested by gadgets more than thirty years ago
when the first electronic products appeared. I remember going to
school with the first electronic pen watch, pen calculator (stolen
from me by a classmate, an event I haven’t got over yet),
programmable calculator (a Texas Instrument TI58) and the first LED
watches. My first computer was an Apple II+ with 16KB of RAM to
which I eventually added disk drives … [visit site to read more]

Hi! I’m Alan from Singapore. I’m 21 years old now. First, I have to say that I’m a gadget freak. My primal obsession with gadgets has made me spend lots of money on them. (Sometimes my mom nags me for that.) Currently on my inventory list, I have gadgets from big to small. They are mostly on my table in my room or lying somewhere in my room.

My Gadgetary Life…

…is a bizarre combination of thrift and extravagance.

On the one hand, I’ve only just gone this year from a succession of nameless mongrel PC clones to a pedigree box (Dell); on the other hand, I’m the only person I know with 32mb of memory in my wristwatch on the principle that it might be useful and I know where it is.
