If you’d like to get a sampling of what’s at CES this year, check out the recent CES broadcasts from Perception Studio: https://www.twitch.tv/perceptionstudio/videos
They took a break from their normal comedy to go check out the show.
@mandirose@sammydog01 There’s the current version of Sony’s Aibo dog that lets you scratch it and it reacts realistically. It apparently also can do fetch and play with it’s bone as well. It’s really impressive and really cute.
Thanks! I was watching coverage from some other places this year and wondering how they made robots and self-driving cars so boring. I still recall drinking with @matthew and sending @dave some “coverage” that was completely made up and totally drawn on napkins. To his credit, he understood why.
I remember staying at… The Imperial Palace? and sharing an elevator with some gents from some crazy deal-a-day site. I chatted a little about how funny the write ups were, @dave gave me his card, and we all went to the LVCC. Good times.
@abennett the one time my company sent me to a trade show in Vegas the admin booked my room at the imperial palace. That was another clue of many that the department admin didn’t like me.
We have people at CES. We just don’t have a booth I think.
/giphy mind blown
@Thumperchick Ooh, anyone we know?
@sammydog01 Well @mandirose is running around somewhere.
@Thumperchick I love @mandirose! I bet she finds us some good stuff.
@sammydog01 @Thumperchick
@mandirose @sammydog01 @Thumperchick maybe we will get some beanbags again?
@mandirose @RiotDemon @sammydog01 Not sure about bean bags, but she did mention a rump-warming toilet seat.
@mandirose @RiotDemon @sammydog01 @Thumperchick
Maybe they could find a supplier for custom logo popsockets? Just sayin…
Was going to go, but forgot to get a hotel.
Has the future become boring?
I can kinda promise it will liven up. But perhaps the interesting directions will not come from anything at CES.
Cool. They can find crappy products and buy then cheap in 3 years to sell on meh.
@medz you really do get us.

@dashcloud Are there toy robots? I hope @mandirose finds us some toy robots.

@dashcloud @mandirose @sammydog01 I read earlier about a certain very personal “robotic” device that got kicked out the show for being too “adult”.
VR porn and sex dolls for men allowed at previous CES, but sex toys for women… That doesn’t belong at CES.
@dashcloud @mandirose Perfect! I’ll take one for fifty bucks.
@dashcloud @mandirose @OnionSoup @sammydog01
If it has bluetooth and cn be run by a refurb remote drone controller, then sold!

@slydon It’s always good to see you pop in here.
@slydon @Thumperchick He shouldn’t be poo…oh… …pop!
/nevermind.

@abennett I think that was the year the hotel ran out of hot water. My preoccupation with budget constraint was not so popular that morning!

I haven’t been paying much attention to CES but headlines about driverless motorcycles caught my eye.
Weird idea, yes?
