CES is over for another year, but the photos live on. There was the minion who visited the blogger lounge, the Panasonic sand sculpture, and the masses of entirely non-goofy-looking people wearing 3D glasses. I also snapped a pic of a dude named Mo, who was selling solar chargers in the middle of the night at the Venetian (doesn’t he know the sun there is fake?), and swiped a photo from Liliputing of me and Brad Linder posing at the Digital Experience event. Good times.
I’ve gots some random CES photos too, but they’re in my Twitpic account. Wish I could do some sort of gallery without copying them over. Ah well!

What happened to your “oh, I’ll ask some passer-by to take this photo instead of using the self-timer” photo? :)
Oh yeah- your photo was better. :)
I’m with Verizon media relations.
The Minion you shot is of course from the movie Despicable Me. What is not seen due to the table is a sign that indicates Despicable Me is now available on Verizon’s FiOS TV service via FlexView, a nifty free service that allows consumers to buy or rent content, and then watch it on their TV, their laptop or their tablet or smartphone. There’s a growing base of Verizon FlexView content now offered and is a great service for extending FiOS TV outside the boundaries of the home.
The #1 asked question of the Minion at CES: “Is that a robot?” No. It’s a human inside.
#2 asked question: Can I touch his hair? No please. There’s a human inside.
#3 asked question: Can I get Verizon FiOS TV in (CITY?) And of course we all answered the folks based on where they live.
Thanks for taking a photo of the Universal Studios character. The man inside the outfit is going to be on the NBC show, “The Cape” this season… not as a Minion but as a short man.
Bill- Love the questions asked. I did assume it was a man inside, but little did I know he was a TV star all on his own.
Yes, we’re familiar with FlexView here. See our coverage on What If FiOS TV Was an App.
