Where's the overclocking contest at CES this year?

@Ohthatflo Because it's now about entertainment, not information, and superhighways evoke associations of slowwwww traffic speeds.

@tcarmody That is VERY creepy. FB: always *this* close to fatal over-reaching. That, or sheer FB fatigue will be its undoing.

@maddow just used the term "weak tea." Too bad it's a political term, because it's so much more palatable than the tool-y "weak sauce"

@strngwys So recent I made the grievous mistake today of confusing a bit of CES 2010 nonsense for CES 2011 puffery. It all runs together.

Just finished a rowdy,raucous day of CES planning. Ready for go-time. "Let's do this!" as the cheesism goes. Now where's my @wired manicure?

@strngwys My pre-CES exercise regimen has been all elliptical, 45 min daily (did we have this convo last year?)

@christophernull @snackfight One time a guy chased me 2 blocks to tell me he read my stuff -- and let me know his mom was single. Top that!

@harrymccracken Can't claim 80s, but how about CES 1994 (back when it was the defacto video game trade show)

@SeamusBellamy love it!

Precuperating: This is what I'll be doing all week before CES begins.

@blam Thing is, fitbit, UP, et al aren't really exercise gadgets; they're fitness "provokers." Or maybe you had other gadgets in mind?

@jsnell It might be the best TV ad of all time -- & proof that "as seen on tv" has turned over all script writing to ironic hipsters

A week from now, I start my 5th or 6th CES. Still feel unprepared. What are YOUR best CES survival tips?

@Ohthatflo @zackstern My CuisinArt SmartPower Duet does just fine for frozen margaritas.

@zackstern Vitamix is the king of blenders. You can't do better. (Expert opinion supplied by sister, who is a raw food "chef")
