Year of the Code Monkey
Because Jonah Bishop Said So
I’ve only been casually following the events at this year’s CES, but a few things I’ve seen have been pretty impressive:
- Super-Black Kuro Concept TV: the black values on this concept are unreal.
- 9-mm Thin Concept Plasma TV: can televisions get any thinner?
- Alienware Curved Monitor: I’ll take 2, thanks.
- Closed captioned HD radio: this is a great idea, and I’m surprised it’s only now showing up.
- Bloggers were given different badges than the regular press. The writeup at Gizmodo about this fact is so true.
- Finally, the humorous video from Bill Gates’ last keynote. What can I say? The guy knows how to make fun of himself.

I sent the link to the curved monitor to my boss, said it would increase my productivity by 400%. I don’t think he’ll agree.
The Gates video was hilarious, especially the Jon Stewart bit. I just hope Gates didn’t use union writers to write that skit or he may get sued by the WGA.

I have no doubts that the curved monitor would increase productivity. That’s why I’d like 2.
In the Gates video, I really loved the part at the beginning where he leaves his briefcase on the top of the car, then drives all the way to work with it on there. That was so hilarious!
