Tackling The KFC Big Bowl Meal…

Well, Michael and I are in Vegas for the Consumer Electronics Show. If you’ve been following our Twitter Tweets while we’ve been gone, you know we’ve been pretty busy trying to find cool gadgets and other interesting gear at the show. During the last few days, we’ve been having sporadic Internet Access as the Internet in our room at the Wynn Encore has been quite bad. It’s actually the worst type of Internet: It starts up really fast, then hangs forever. Unfortunately, the only time that the press room is open is during show hours, which is also the same time that we were both on the floor roaming and heading to meetings.

Right now, I’m in one of the hallways, trying to poach Internet off the Terrace Point Cafe, which is in the Wynn Encore Hotel. To test the connection, I uploaded this video of me polishing off a KFC Big Bowl Meal. I’ve never had one before so I thought I’d take the plunge during a break at the show.

We’ve got quite a few videos from the show coming up for you on Futurelooks including some good in-depth coverage on some new and innovative products popping up at the show. If you want to find out when that goes live, you can subscribe to our RSS Feed there or you can follow Futurelooks on Twitter, and we’ll tweet when something gets posted.

As for GIZMODO being on the receiving end of some sweet revenge, I haven’t heard of anything related to that as of yet and the show is nearly over. Michael actually noticed that they weren’t even on the list for the Sandisk Rockband 2 Competition, which was won by PC Magazine. Maybe they didn’t want to risk potential retaliation, I don’t know.

Related to that sort of, I was actually mistaken for Brian Lam of GIZMODO by a writer from another gadget blog called OhGizmo as we were checking in at our Hotel. I met Brian the next day in the press room at the Sands and I could sort of see why someone would mix us up as we both have beards and longer hair. Other than that, we really look nothing alike.

We’ve got one more day of meetings tomorrow and then we’ll be off to the Affiliate West Summit taking place at the RIO. Anyhow, I’m going to try to milk this connection for all it’s worth so that’s all for now.
