WEEK TWO In Which I Fly To Las Vegas For The CES

Wowwhat a time I have had since I last posted anything here. I have been sharing my flying exploits willy nilly on Facebook but I have to say I may be cured of Virgin Atlantic. For their whole ethos is a tad glamorous, especially for the aircrew. And I can tell you that they DO NOT like fat blokes! While I can easily admit that any masseuse given the choice of pushing my huge meaty shoulders about or some less unpleasant dude to rub, that they would exercise choice and NOT get around to me (it was four separate Premium Economy flights and I signed up and got not ) but so help me, I was slightly startled, (only slightly now, I AM my mum’s son..) to find myself hankering for a nice gay boy to look after me chubby self in the air on more recent flights. As UNLIKE the willowy scarlet-garbed goddesses of the sky, they are NICE to the likes of me.
Anyway, I can admit that I feel deeply honoured as well as slightly apprehensive to have my output thus scrutinized (and I SHALL be using UK spellings, despite this Yankee pressroom DELL trying to honor and authorize me instead!) since I am a guest of the actual organisers of the CES, the CEA themselves.
I am called a scholarship Journalist and as well as access to the superb press facilities in all directions, we even get a separate more exclusive press room to use, right atop of the halls I need to get into.
Now the technology I have come to see is not only car audio but other, portable and sexy tech that I KNOW will make Talk Audio’s faithful become emotionally (if not physically) erect! I have been to just ONE really detailed press event, as well as the general shape-of-the-future press talk, (bendy transparent screens anyone?) and it was for Voxx, who are the corporation behind a serious slew of names you know. As soon as I have penned this, I shall get on reporting the future as they see it. In particular, DUAL RETINA BIOMETRICS! Yes, one day, you will get in your car and it will ONLY start if it can see the whites of your eyes!
OK, masses to do and apologies for this being a Tuesday as publication day for you guys rather than a Monday as normal for my column, but the eight hours’ time zone lag behind the UK thing, bites!
