We interupt the strange gas leak in New York for CES 2007 day one |
Listening to Howard Stern live this morning and the crew vacated the studio because of an as yet unidentified gas smell wafting through the air and throughout the studio. The crew came back and they were taking calls from people saying: “You need to get out of [the Sirius building].” It’s on the news:
“We have numerous calls and reports about a gas leak from midtown to downtown, river-to-river but we don’t have any locations or any injuries reported,” an OEM spokesman said. He said there was no immediate threat to public safety.

For those of us who aren’t at CES 2007 in the never sleeping city of Las Vegas, there are ways to cover the action through the eyes and ears of others (will be updated as I find more):
- [video] Podtech.net and Seagate are sponsoring a Bloghaus at the Bellagio for people coming in and out to podcast, videoblog and blog. That’s one thing — bandwidth at CES — that has notoriously been an issue for attendees (even with an EV-DO card). Scoble already posted an exclusive lunch video with Bill Gates.
- [blog] Engadget has the keynotes covered
- [video] CNET TV has live and recorded CES action including a discussion with Bill Gates (lots of Gates coverage so far) on the upcoming Windows Home Server. Nathan has a bunch of additional details.
- [agenda] The day one agenda for CES 2007 details the major happenings.
- [RSS] Receive “late breaking news from CES 2007″ with international CES 2007 attendees feed — subscribed.
- [blog] CNET also has a Best of CES show.
- [blog, pictures] Gizmodo reporters dressed as construction workers and took over a dozen pictures of the pre-show floor from as early as last Friday.
- Rory Blyth takes over Scoble’s video job at Channel 9
- Live version of Visual Studio in planning stages
- Neverending conference registration fee gouging
- Adwords lawsuit includes Howard Stern?
- First attended Seattle blogger meetup OPML of attendees blogs
- Nintendo DS price reduction to $129.99




[…] Today, I’m wondering who is not at CES 2007? It’s not like you really need to be with the excellent CES2007 coverage provided by others. I still miss CES and the last time we were there was actually two years ago, not 2002 as mistakenly said in the video, I flubbed that part up and chose not to do a third take. The first take I forgot to have the audio switched on and it was just me moving my mouth in a silent picture. I should have overdubbed that. I’ll have to do something like that someday. […]
