In less than 12 hours I’ll be on an excruciatingly long plane ride back to Finland where it will take the weekend to recover from the good times that were had in Las Vegas. What about CES?

    Well, I’m a little jealous still. But, these type of shows can still be very tiresome.

  • Stefan Constantinescu

    trust me, if you’re having fun, then these shows don’t bog you down. it was so hard to stay awake because nothing was interesting. nothing.
