Joel Johnson on the Road to CES: Film Noir Edition (BBtv + BB Gadgets)

Continuing in Boing Boing tv‘s “Road to CES” series, Joel Johnson at Boing Boing Gadgets sez:

Although we didn’t bother with CES last year, this year the Boing Boing team will be out in the cold Las Vegas desert, sifting through piles of sadness incarnate to find the precious products that might actually make our lives – if not truly better – a little happier in the coming year.

I’m more excited about going to CES as I have been in a long time. (Thanks in large part to your suggestions.) We try to keep it positive around here, but sometimes that’s easier to do when everyone else seems so down in the dumps.

At least that’s how I think it’ll be at this year’s show. Perhaps the convention won’t be quite as bleak as I imagine in this “Road to CES” video we’ve put together.
