Recap: CES DAY 1
I woke up to an interesting view outside my Planet Hollywood Hotel room. I'd have to say, next to the Hard Rock Hotel, this hotel has the coolest music.



Jeff Cutler picked me up and drove me over to the Venetioan. Lots of construction going on in Las Vegas.



I dropped in to the Social Media Jungle and heard Chris Heur speak.



I went ot a bunch of press conferences today, but the most interesting thing of the morning was Jeff Cutler's interview with the Pico Projector people:

Then I met up with Greg Verdino for the Panasonic press conference:



Joe Jaffe was there too:



Crayon brought me out here as a guest of Panasonic and I thank them for that. These two guys were also covering the press conference for Engadget:



The coolest thing was the 1/3" HD TV:

Later, we had a nice dinner with Panasonic executives. They are really interested in listening. I liked that. I also like PF Changs. I'd never been there and these cucumbers were AMAZING:



I also got all these cameras to try out:



They all have a different way of charging. I hope the electronics community standardizes on one way soon:



I'm looking forward to using these camera's tomorrow. I grabbed Greg's camera and took some amazing shots with it. I told him to put them up on hos flickr account. The Panasonic Lumix G1 has a 14 mm lens so I'm excited to head out to the show floor tomorrow nad shoot some photos with it.

I wish we were able to try the newer HD video camera, since I heard it shoots MPEG-4 H.264. I'll report back on the process of shooting HD video and editing with the SD 100. The SW20 works under water too, not sure how I might test that.

See you tomorrow.
