One show I have never been to, but one day I will is CES, I’d just love to see how many of the technologies we’ve been involved with actually get to market and in what form they appear.
One interesting aspect of CES I have been tracking though, as an avid techno follower myself, is the Bloghaus, a blog party hosted as part of CES with bloggers allowed to register as press and given a T1 connection and room to blog from.
A good aggregated set of blog posts related to CES is http://podtechbloghaus.com/podtech/ces/CESFrontPage.htm . I may not be at CES today, but through this medium I feel I am virtually there.
I wonder when the likes of ESC http://www.embedded.com/esc/sv/ and Embedded World http://www.embedded-world-2006.de/main/Page.html will start to host similar blog parties? I see no evidence that 2007 will start that ball rolling.

Just what the world needs - another blog! In mitigation, I haven’t seen anything online which deals with issues dear to the heart of people like us - trying to figure out the best way to promote and sell advanced technical products in rapidly globalizing markets.
Hold on just a minute - I often hear people say - as markets globalize, and companies virtualize, surely it’s getting easier than ever to sell around the world? Well, yes and no. But mostly no. From our perspective, (and each of us have roughly a couple of decades perspective on the question) the mismatch between global marketing strategies and local/regional implementations (i.e. generating revenues) is getting ever greater. Perversely, this seems to be driven by the very trend to globalization which should be making it all so much simpler. Villa on the Aegean Coast of Turkey near Uzumlu
Which brings me to the real subject of this first post - why did we call the blog “2 Hands Clapping” anyway?
