O HAI. Xeni here, dropping by for a quick post.
Boing Boing TV will be traveling to Vegas for CES (Jan 8-11, 2009) with our colleagues over at Boing Boing Gadgets to do video reports from the show floor. Possibly with the assistance of hard-working investigative journalists like the guy you see above (who could frankly use a shave).
Our video crew will be joining Joel, John, Rob to walk through the maze of consumer electronics offerings, separating the junk from the gems, and trying to parse what’s worth separating you from your heard-earned samoleans.
To get us started on the road to CES, and in planning our coverage on the blog in text, photos, and in video, I thought it might be cool to hear from you.
What are you expecting to see? What are you expecting to see more of, or less of? What devices and/or services would make computers, laptops, smartphones, or gaming devices for more fun, more productive, more — whatever it is you want?
CES is historically the largest electronics trade show in the world. Why do so many people travel across the globe to um — pounce on Las Vegas once a year for this, and what do we expect to be different this time? Extra points if you type in LOLcatese. We might read your comments out in a special BBtv episode we’re planning to air tomorrow about our CES prep.
(A sponsorship note: BBtv’s “Road to CES” episodes will be sponsored by Intel and Asus, who recently launched WEPC.com, a project to build the world’s first “community-designed laptop.”)

Comment on the mothership. There’s a good discussion going on already!
