We&#8217;ll be at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cesweb.org\/\">CES<\/a>, the big, huge annual celebration of Consumer Electronics.  To tell the truth, I&#8217;m not all that excited about CES in this, my third year as an attendee.  What I <em>am<\/em> looking forward to is hanging out with some friends from SD in Las Vegas.  <\/p>\n<p>The actual electronics are never really spectacular.  Maybe it&#8217;s just because I&#8217;m kinda thinking about future technologies all the time, but the stuff that&#8217;s due to come out in 6 months just isn&#8217;t all that exciting when compared to the stuff that&#8217;s due out in 10 years or so.  It&#8217;s generally all for show&#8230;nobody is pushing &#8216;new&#8217; technologies, rather they&#8217;re showing off the &#8216;dumbed-down&#8217; versions, generally with weak user interfaces that the geeks at the show thoroughly enjoy.  I&#8217;ll report on what I see over the weekend next time. <\/p>\n<p>On Sunday evening I&#8217;ll be waiting at McCarran Int&#8217;l Airport for my redeye flight back to Indianapolis, and I should get back to Bloomington on Monday an hour before my first class.  I wonder if I remembered to leave a change of clothes in my office&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>To all you <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hoosier\">Hoosiers<\/a>, see you soon.  All you <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/University_of_California%2C_San_Diego\">Tritons<\/a>, see you sooner.  Everybody else, be well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gotta write fast&#8230;I think.
