“Groovy Motherfucker”

I won a raffle at the blogger party. Amongst the prizes were $300 in cash and free return flights on Virgin America.

My prize? An Intel flight suit. Apparently, Intel was sponsoring one of those Zero-G parabolic flights, and had some custom flight suits made. Do I get a flight on the vomit comet? Do I bollocks. Just the suit.

Not pictured is the huge Intel logo on the back. Discussions soon turned to the idea of wearing it, heading to the Intel booth on the show floor, and pretending to be booth staff. "Our new processor is smaller than an ant, but can do multiplication almost three times faster than even the most skilled ant."

Oh, and when I was carrying the suit, I felt something papery in one of the pockets. Of course, my first assumption was that there was a crisp $100 bill in there. Nope. Sick bag!

Spotted opposite the Atomic Testing Museum. No idea what makes their coffee "sexy", and frankly scared to find out.

The closest thing to an innovation at the Sony stand -- breakdancing robot MP3 players.

Getting ready for an interview at the NBC News stand

Signing at the Go Daddy tent. There were only five or six people in the line, so I figured what the hey.

As a few of us were discussing in the line, Photoshop has been good to her.

Crocs for your phone. Who else thinks they came up with the name first, then created the product to go with it?

"You're on MP4 here, all the way up, all the way up, all the way up, you're on MP4 on your player. Where can you go from there? Where?"

After nabbing some samples from the Rhinestone It! booth, I now have the most blinged-out namebadge in Vegas

Bizarre battery-powered cartridge-based contraption that allows you to "smoke" "cigarettes" without technically smoking.

(Rather splendidly, a google search reveals that "NJoy" is also the name of a brand of "personal massagers", so make sure not to get them confused. You might get a funny look if you put a "NJoy Personal Wand" between your lips in public)

I was excited to see Plen, since he's a true celebrity -- Last night on The Amazing Race, one of the choices on the detour involved controlling Plens with cellphones and trying to score goals.

Another common theme at the Sands today: Stickers to decorate devices. Ranging from artistic skins for your laptop, to "bling" stickers, resulting in lovely devices like these at the "Rhinestone It!" stand.

Portable boombox-type-thing with remote-controlled score displays, a countdown timer, etc.

It sounds a bit gimmicky and crappy, but it's something I desperately wanted a few years back when doing improv. I could definitely see Theatersports or Comedysportz troupes using it for away gigs.

I ate at Sensi this evening, which has its kitchen in the center of the restaurant, surrounded by walls of glass.

I was treated to the view of the steamer. Anyone who was squeamish about seeing live wriggling lobsters going in, and pink delicious ones coming out would not have had fun.

I apparently subconsciously like drinks that come in green bottles with red stars on the labels.
