A series of pictures I took at the 2007 CES show. Microsoft didn't exactly hide itself at the CES, you could see Vista icons, banners, stickers and posters everywhere! Honda showcased it's famous ASIMO robot, pronounced very much like the awesome-o robot from South Park. The whole north hall was full of custom car manufacturer showoffs and ICE equipment. ...

This is a reply to the Top 5 sins of Vista blog post written by Steve Wiseman. Number 1 - The new file browsing interface is different Yes, Notepad's great, we all use it, whether we want to admit or not. The file browsing interface however, is also great. That is, if you're willing to acknowledge it! Admitted, there's no reason for the web site addresses to figure in the drop down. But why use the drop down at all? Haven't you noticed the button on the bottom left hand side, cleverly called, "Folders"? Click...

One of the few places left that I haven't played at is Caesars Palace. Fortunately I can now cross Caesars off my list. The room is separated from the usual casino area by a small walkway. This separation ensures that the room is very quiet, in contrast to the extremely noisy MGM Grand room. The chairs are great swiveling office chairs, quite comfortable. The felt is absolutely perfect, just the way I want it, just the way the Venetian has it - though it seems to be somewhat older at Caesars. While the Venetian usually has one or...

I wanted to log a lot of poker playing hours today. At about 12 PM I went to the MGM Grand, a room that I'd never visited. After playing there for about 5-6 hours (please don't ask how it went, I got butchered), I've got mixed feelings about the room. The cocktail service is absolutely great. Although they're not the lookers as they are at the Wynn, they're among the quickest on the strip. There's allways a cocektail waitress around, ready to take your order. The tables are among the most sophisticated ones I've seen. Naturally they have automatic...

Since I woke up at 6 AM this morning I decided to just stay in bed and watch The Prestige through the hotel movie system. When I got up I realized that the only power adaptor that I'd brought was a US - EU style, not the required EU - US... Friggin typical! So I went to every Futurama fans favorite electronics store, Fry's Electronics, which is also the largest electronics store in Vegas! I've always spoken badly of the Zune on absolutely no grounds other than my own prediction of it's success. However, when I came by...

Honeeey, I'm home! It's good to be back. After all, it's been about 4 months since I were here last, that's simply too long time! The flight went pretty well. On the long route, Frankfurt - Denver I sat in front a some american family. It was really obvious that they were american, the whole way they talked, acted and so forth, hard to explain, but they where soo stereotypical. Anyways, shortly after taking off, somebody sneezed nearby... "Bless you" the woman behind me almost screamed. Oh well, whatever. Five minutes later somebody else sneezed - bless you!...
