Enjoyed your post, Brian. Yogi Berra sums up CES for me, “Nobody goes there anymore. It’s too crowded.”

General silliness much appreciated (indeed many would say greatly needed) Toby.
Sadly I can’t find Martin’s brilliant remarks following his tour with Irvine. They were something along the lines of ‘I was very impressed by the huge TV’s’ but I’m sure he was far more eloquent than that!

As ever, perceptive and witty Brian. Thank you. I am also hugely amused (OK, a bit jealous) by the host (murmuration?) of media people attending CES. None more so than Martin Sorrell joining Irwin Gotlieb on his “famous floor tour” (WHAT…?). Anyway, aside from tittering at the fact Sorrell clearly passed out on his sunbed, the series of photos are screaming out for a speech bubble competition… https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.622725241098754.1073741858.201108809927068&type=1
PS – Sorry for introducing general silliness to your blog!
