My CES 2009 Posts on Twitter
CES this year was exhausting, loud, and slightly less crowded, but nonetheless interesting. I used Twitter to quickly post information about my experience.

WhatImpressesMe | Southwire is finally demonstrating Flatwire for 120v electrical current–UL cert pending. #ces09 |
WhatAnnoysMe | Should have arrived at CNET’s Next Big Thing session earlier. I’m litterally standing in the back corner. And can we have some air? #ces09 |
WhatAnnoysMe | Really? You’re going to come in late and then stand in front if us? #ces09 |
WhatAnnoysMe | Worse: most of these latecomers are leaving mid-session, lacking the stamina to stand for an hour. #ces09 |
