Saturday press conferences

3pm, I’m on the way to the Wynn Hotel. Never been there, but I hear it’s fabulous.


The Thomson press conference takes place at 4pm. I hear they’ve got several new products to announce and maybe an updated list of Infinity users,


After that, the 5pm Omneon press conference at the Palms Casino. Never been to the Palms either. Wow, two new places in one day. Cool! more


Don’t yell at this Las Vegas cop

Arrived late Friday afternoon because I wanted to attend sessions on Saturday morning. That is the only time I have for sessions because of press conferences and other vendor conflicts, which begin on Saturday afternoon.


Shortly after arriving I decided to go running (okay less running and more jogging these days). Anyway about 6pm and about half way into my run, I was just stepping off the curb, with the crosswalk sign saying it was okay to proceed, when out of the corner of my eye I caught glimpse of a police car racing towards me. It immediately crossed the intersection against the light and traffic with no siren. Nor did it slow down. more


RTNDA session on going local

On Tuesday at 9 a.m., one of the RTNDA sessions is going to be on “Going Local…in a new direction.” The focus, according to the RTNDA Web site, is to “redefine what is news online and leverage technology to draw in new audiences and revenue.”

One of the panelists, Cory Bergman, is director of digital media for KING5.com and NWCN.com in Seattle. He’s also a Lost Remote blogger who I’ve been following for the last year.

One of the big things he’s going to be discussing is local aggregated blogs. He’s created one for Seattle called Citizen Rain. Local aggregated blog sites pull in the feeds from blogs done by people in the community who are writing about event and happenings within their communities. more
