Swung by the Pono booth this morning to check out their audio player.

There were a lot of CES parties last night. This might be why I'm currently eating breakfast *alone* yes?

Batteries Suck

I must say, I am truly surprised at how hard CES is on a phone's battery. I went from a full charge to under ten percent yesterday -- twice. I'm carrying two battery packs today. (I like the Tylt ones with the built-in Lightning cables.)

You're walking around inside giant concrete and steel boxes the whole time (convention centers, casinos, hotel rooms) so your phone is constantly working overtime to find a signal. On top of that, you're in perpetual Twitter, GroupMe, SMS and email mode. Like, all those networking apps on a loop. Plus liveblogging. It's an electron funnel.

Can we just agree that nobody wants to wear seven watches?

Overheard at a media event where a slew of new wearables were displayed.

Can we just agree that nobody wants to wear seven watches at once?

Overheard in the cab line after a press event showing a slew of new wearables.

Band can't get a gig at SXSW? Just rent a house, spend $50 on lights, set up in the front yard, and play to the crowds as they drift by.
