The Zereps

OK, well.. I’m a little behind on the posting.. Just now I’m writing about stuff that I did last weekend.. oh well, I’ll catch up eventually… or let Candice write about what we did this weekend..

Digital Life 2006 — an exhibition of new and upcoming digital technology, sponsored by Ziff Davis and features hundreds of exhibitors from all over displaying their latest offerings in things such as cell phones, video cards,VoIP, movies on demand, HDTV, HD DVD/Blu-Ray movies, video games, home automation, etc.

It was at the same place as Next Fest that Candice and I went to a couple weeks ago, but this time Candice opted to go shopping instead of go to the super-digital-supernova-convention-itbition with me, and I dont’ completely blame her–I am a technology convention show junkie. I stayed at the convention hall for 5 hours straight without eating, drinking, or sitting down. I walked up and down every section, toured every exhibit, looked at every new gadget, and tried out just about every new technology on display; just try to keep up with me. 😉 Some of the highlights of the show were demonstrations of Windows Vista, Playstation 3 (which you could actually play for a couple minutes if you wanted to stand in line for 30-60,) The HD-DVD Experience. There’s not enought time or space to detail everything that was there, but suffice to say it was a great preview of new things that are coming out.

I did end up buying one thing from the show… a ‘Gyration Air Mouse‘. It’s a patented mouse that you can just wave around in the air to move your the cursor on your computer–a God-send for people like me who spend many more hours than I should every day using a computer. It’s so much easier on your wrists than a traditional mouse.
