I’m more or less fully recovered from NAB in Las Vegas. What a great week it was. I met a lot of great people, saw a ton of great stuff and thoroughly enjoyed myself. So let me start off with the convention. Some of the more interesting exhibits I saw were the Red Camera, the [...]
I’ve only been back from New York a few days and now I’m on the road again. This time I’m in Las Vegas at NAB The World’s Largest Electronic Media Show. I’ve already gathered a slew of business cards and the conference hasn’t even started. I also got invited to an event in the Bellagio [...]
