Meeting the Woz
| One of the biggest highlights of my week working at GDC 06 was to meet the Woz (aka Steve Wozniak aka the other Steve who co-founded Apple Computer). I can say that everything I have read about him in the press seems to be true. He seems like a very down-to-earth kind of guy, and was very humble... especially if you compare him to Jobs. He spent over an hour hanging out with us at the lounge for the Conference Associates, signing autographs and T-shirts, iPods, etc., as well as doing a lot of photo-ops. He was also going over different people's ideas with them for software or products that they wanted to talk to him about. In other words, I was very impressed with how he presented himself to the rest of us lowly volunteers at the show. When taking this picture, he asked me about my camera, and I told him that I liked it, and offered it to him to play around with after having our picture taken, but he was asking because he had the same one and wanted to see my opinion on it. (It's a Sony CyberShot T7 btw). I told him that the only problem I had with it was that since it's a Sony, it uses the Memory Stick, which makes it annoying since it's not compatible with any of the other products that I own (other than the PSP). Talking to the other CAs, especially the younger ones, was interesting since some had no idea who The Woz is, and others knew he was a co-founder of Apple Computer, but the significance of meeting him was over their heads... he he he.. guess it's a generational gap... |

Meg Doing the Hoola Hoop at Target
Wow! Check out this hot chick doing a hula hoop demonstration at the toy aisle at Target! :D Look at her go! Woo hoo!!! I never understood why she loved to shop at places like Wal*Mart and Target, but now I can start to understand why she has so much fun at these places...

Pink's in Vegas
| My friends always tell me that one of the best places to eat in LA is a small hot dog stand called "Pink's". In fact, for those of you who have seen the opening of that TV show "Joey", will see it as one of the places he passes while driving around. So I have yet to try the original Pink's in LA, but in Vegas, over at the Aladdin, there's a restaurant in there that features several different hot dogs from Pink's. Terry and I were overjoyed to have tried them, especially since 30 minutes earlier, we were over at Vegas Dogs, next to the IP, and disappointed that the Vegas Dogs are now a Nation's joint, so not as good as it used to be (not to say that Nation's is bad, but that's not what we were looking for in our mad quest for good hot dogs). |

Awesome-o
This was just a matter of being in the right place at the right time. I was looking for another booth, and right when I found it, there was a big gathering of people in front of another booth, and all of a sudden, a big voice comes out saying "Ladies and Gentlemen, I present you... ASIMO!!!" and then it finally hit me... "Awesome-O!" So that's where they came up with that name for the one South Park where Cartman dresses up as a robot called "Awesome-O"

Booth babe and a car
Not sure what booth this was at, and not sure what they were selling, but just had to snap up this pic since it had a booth babe posing in front.

Booth babe with a car with a waterfall
I don't understand the point of having a waterfall from your hatchback, but I understand the point of having a booth babe at a trade show, and they were at least successful in getting me to go to the booth and snap up some pix...

Retro Car Interior
The interior of this car was pretty cool. I like the minimalist look of this, and that huge analog spedometer.

Retro Car
This was a pretty cool looking retro type of car. There is another picture of its interior. Again, I have no idea what they were selling, but it was a cool photo-op.

Absolute car
Cool looking car at CES. The great thing about this booth was that the booth babe signing autographs was wearing this bikini top where one boob had "Abso" and the other boob had "Lute" written on it... I think Abso looked better than Lute...

An orange Z
Cool looking car, and in honor of my friend Stacy, I had to take this pic. I guess it's just missing the neon lights underneath... he he he
