This past week I was at CES doing market research, and I'm sure everyone reading any of the tech/gadget blogs have had a overload of CES related coverage. I’m not going to talk about any of the things that got major coverage, but here’s some general thoughts, and a couple things you probably didn’t see anywhere else.
- 3D TV is coming at you like a 900lb gorilla
Pretty much every TV/Monitor manufacturer has a 3D version of a product coming out, and with Blue-ray updating it’s standards to support 3D, I suspect we’ll see some TV’s and monitoring hitting the market very soon. In fact be prepared for a deluge of 3D stuff and marketing this year.

- Lego Universe
Lego’s new game “Lego Universe” looks pretty cool, there stand also had big bins of lego minifig parts to build your own lego men. Pretty cool, but mostly I wanted to post pictures of the epic lego battle we had while waiting.
- District 9 Props
Sony had some props from the District 9 movie, which I enjoyed toughly. It was cool to see some of the props up close.

- Tekzilla Filming
We caught the Tekzilla filming at the NBC stand, and we’ll probably be seen somewhere in the background, I'll post up a link when the show is posted. http://revision3.com/tekzilla
- Babes
It’s not CES without booth babes right? Here’s a few.
- Star Trek
With the recent popularity of the new Star Trek movie, there was a few models and props, including a very strange Enterprise/Turntable mashup.

That is all.
