Do you know what CES is? If you are geeky like me you already know it is the Consumer Electronics Show held each year in Las Vegas. This year’s event runs tomorrow (1/7) thru Sunday (1/10). One of these days I AM going to make it to CES. I’m guessing Taylor and Hubby will definitely want to go with me on that trip – we all love electronics and gadgets and such.
Kodak is one of the great companies that has a major presence at CES. This year they are letting those of us at home in on the action too via the K-Zone. We can watch the LIVE discussion panels from CES on our own computers. They have several things planned – but the big events are listed here for you. I know these sound like really interesting and useful discussions for me, what about you?
