One of the most impressive talks came from Kate Swanborg of Dreamworks Animation. Kate has been with Dreamworks through releases like Shrek, Madagascar, The Croods, A Sharks Tale and the last release Turbo. During her speech we got an insight into the processing power and time needed to produce these movies and how they come to life. She also spoke …
3D printing is all the rage at CES 2014. If you are at the event and do not go look at the 3D section you are missing out, literately missing out. They have “The Sugar Lab” there who are printing candy with 3D printers. The little shapes in the bowl you see below are bits of sugar that has been …
CES 2014 brought the Social Media Vending machine right into the think of it. “IF” you could get an internet connection you could theoretically tweet the machine with a special tweet plus a code and it would dispense a t-shirt for you. It worked really well for me but the machine did have a few moment of confusion. Something to …
The news seems to have hooked on that CES 2014 is about wearable tech. Whilst there is a fair amount of wearable tech it is nothing compared to the vast amounts of exhibitors showing off their latest portable sound devices.

Formula 1 driver Lucas di Grassi drove the 150mph capable Spark-Renault SRT_01E giving the crowd a rather quick demonstration in the Mandalay Bay parking lot. What a great way to start CES 2014, watching a giant radio …

However, if you are using a Raspberry Pi Cam or the new NOIR Cam them you’re out of luck. Luckily there is a …
CES 2014 It’s Confirmed! I have just received my confirmation that I will be part of the official UK Delegation to CES 2014. For the CES 2013 event there just didn’t seem to be enough time in the day to get everything done so for 2014 there is going to have to be a lot more planning. If you don’t …
What do you mean there are no comments available on a blogging platform? That’s right, this is Ghost (Beta). It is in Beta mode and has a long way to go but it really is an incredible blogging system already. Luckily there are a few tweaks you can make which makes this new platform rather usable. I have just come …
