like discovering plutonium by accident
Friday, January 05, 2007
A good friend of mine and I are heading to Las Vegas tomorrow for the Consumer Electronics Show (CES), something I have been trying to get to with varying degrees of effort for years. It just happens that I am off for the exact 4 days of the conference, and Superwife, being the super wife that she is, convinced me that I should go now while I have the opportunity.
Needless to say I have been very excited for the last month or so about the whole thing. Looking forward to checking out all the new gadgets, phones, cameras, and computer hardware and peripherals that will be coming out, to say nothing of attending the World Series of Gaming.
To put it mildly I have been very happy as I have been getting ready for the event.
And then a friend of mine asked me if I was going to attend the porn convention that runs concurrently with CES.
To which I responded "Come again?"
After I picked my jaw up I Googled other conventions going on at the same time as CES, found out that yes, the world's largest adult entertainment conevention is in fact going on at the same time, and thanked my friend for saving me from possibly missing out on something that I would regret forever.
To paraphrase George Costanza, for the heterosexual male completely unaware that the trip he was taking to attend a tech convention just happens to run at the same time as the world's biggest congregation of porn stars, it was like discovering plutonium by accident.
So now I just have to figure out how to make Superwife okay with the signature of Nicole Sheridan I plan on coming home with on my ass. Think a snap of the next gen Blackberry will cut it?

Glen was actually telling me about the big geek convention going on down there. Apparently there will be 5 "life" changing things unveiled. I'm envious that you get to see them first hand.
Make sure to get superwife some pecan brittle from Ethel M's, and a gourmet candy apple from New York Apple. Freaking awesome. That should make up for any er...um...oddities that may occur. I actually am envious about that too! HA!
You really are a super-dork aren't you?
Ah man, we are both jealous of the things you'll see on this trip. Joe moreso for the tech stuff, and me moreso for the porn stuff.
jennifer: I'm not sure of the entire top 5. One was the Windows Home Server, delivered by Bill Gates. Others were IPTV and SlingPlayer Mobile, both of which mean watching cable tv from any internet enabled device (mobile, pc, xbox 360, etc) That is going to be very cool.
catwoman: I have (and do) get called a lot of things, but I think that's a first for Super Dork. I love it.
I am actually having a hard time deciding which convention was more fun. I certainly got better pictures at the AVN Expo. But some of the new gadgets coming out this year got my geek on pretty good too. I want to buy most of them.
