CES 2012: Day 2 Highlights & Lowlights – South 3,4

Here’s a rapid collection of things I saw while at CES 2012 that I thought were noteworthy tech gifts or tools of the trade in South 3, 4 on Day TWO:

Here’s a few highlights of the trip:

  • Palazzo’s LaGasse Stadium. This is the view I had from this heavenly bar/sportsbook/restaurant.  http://t.co/2e106j5t. This was the seat I was sitting in.  Yep.  It’s practically a bed.  http://t.co/YFKUXHCR #heaven #miamivsclippers #dallasvsboston
  • imageClippers vs Miami on ESPN. This is the ad that shows in primetime.  Awesome! http://t.co/DROlj7IR #nokia #windowsphone
    …oh yeah:  An the Clippers BEAT the Miami Heat.  BAHAHAHAHAHA!
  • Dish Networks Booth & the Kangaroo.  You read that right.
    As reported by Todd Bishop of Geekwire: CES staffer, talking into a radio: "Someone brought a kangaroo onto the show floor, we need to get them to leave."  It was true.  I talked to the booth coordinator and she was distraught at the loss of their kangaroo… but was pleased when I told her about the Dish kangaroo going viral.

And finally… a lowlight of day TWO:

  • Ferraro’s Italian Restaurant. Based on the rave reviews, I thought this was going to be one of the better Italian meals I’ve had. Instead it was incredibly forgettable with overly salty Lobster Bisque (and I LIKE salt) and a tasteless Ravioli Aragosta dish. The waiter knew I was displeased when he came back to two half eaten dishes and a request for the check. Worse yet: My favorite meal, meatballs, wasn’t even on the menu. Turns out they TAKE IT OFF THE MENU during big conventions. #fail
