Well, I was the first to arrive this morning at 7:30 am, just as the housekeeping crew was finishing up. Only me alone with the breakfast buffet and a tub full of beer on ice at the bar (no, please….). Feeling good that I bailed last night about 10:30, I plugged into the T1 in the conference room, grabbed some much-needed caffeine, and started catching up on the buzz online. Bloghaus6 Seems the reaction to the Gates keynote yesterday wasn’t all that great — a lot of the same themes as last year. (But as Robert Scoble said to me later, at least everything worked this time…..ha!) More of the buzz online this morning seemed to be focused on how Macworld is already starting to suck away the oxygen from CES — an event that will draw only about one-fifth as many people.

About ten minutes later, a two-person video crew from PodTech arrived, followed closely by head PodTech dude, John Furrier. He said he and the crew were headed off to Cisco and lots of other interviews today. Other PodTech people started to arrive, and I heard the Haus was rocking till at least 5:00 am…..ooo, ouch. Glad my head is clear.

I’m gonna monitor the live coverage of what’s happening at the keynotes and on the showfloor from right here and do some blogging. The PodTech site is one good place for you to keep up on stuff ongoing, and note it also includes a page where all the BlogHaus-registered bloggers’ posts are aggregated. Events for me today include the Aussie companies’ press conference at the Hilton, followed by Yahoo press event/luncheon close by, and Disney CEO Robert Iger’s keynote at 4:30 at the Venetian (only because he might drop a hint of what’s to come in his largest shareholder’s keynote tomorrow at Macworld). Then the Showstoppers event this evening, and back here more for at the BlogHaus after that. Hey, this is work, people! Cheers for now…
