I'd be at CES.  But I'm already having trouble doing a good job with my first life, and my second life is being completely ignored.

I just watched a few minutes of Bill Gates's keynote.  It felt a little too "Kitchen of Tomorrow," but maybe MSN knows what they're doing and people will want surroundscreens on their desks.  And it would be kind of fun to drag your colleagues (virtually, anyway) into meetings.  I'm not so sure about the Play Table.  It feels like a very closed system. 

A comment on scobleizer:

Gates speaks at CES. Attendees doze off. Gates stops speaking, attendees leave to look at cool stuff not made by Microsoft.

Video is big!  Presence is big, big, big!

Thank goodness for engadget, gizmodo, and gear live.

When will there be a good ebook reader?  The arguments about Google Book Search seem to be driven by publishers' fears that a useful reader is just around the corner and they won't be able to keep their books from being read by it. 

Maybe next year.
