I've been under the weather for the last couple of days. I caught a cold right after returning from Vegas and I've been taking it easy and trying to get as much rest as possible. I've started to sort out my CES media and I came across a video clip from the NextGen Digital Home Experience display that I thought was interesting. The home features Microsoft's lifeware products. The system is very innovative and it can be used to control a home's lighting, audio/video, appliances, security and a number of other components throughout the house - all via touch screen panels placed in each room of the home. Neat stuff! You can see a clip demonstrating the use of the touch screen, by going to the link below:

The picture, shown to the right and at the bottom of the blog page, is from the Gibson Guitars tent that was also at CES. Gibson has a new "robot" guitar that tunes itself. A demonstration, showing just how the guitar accomplishes this feat, was scheduled at various times throughout the show. Fascinating to watch! I'll have more from CES a little later - when I'm feeling better.
