posted Jan 6th 2010 12:48pm by James Munnsfiled under: news

It’s just about time for CES (as we’ve mentioned once or twice), so we thought we would update you on our latest goals and ideas for the show.
This year [Caleb Kraft], [Nick Caiello], [James Munns], [Devlin Thyne], and [Brett Haddock] will be covering CES. We are currently looking for some good places to go if we get a chance to break away from the show, and while we won’t make any guarantees, we’d love to meet some of our readers! Please direct all ideas for your favorite eatery to our Contact Page. Keep an eye on our Twitter page (@hackaday) for CES updates and what your favorite writers are up to, where we are eating, and other possible chances to meet up with us.
We are also still looking for Las Vegas Hackerspaces to visit, so let us know and we would love to cover it!
Be sure to check out our updated interest list after the break, and keep sending in what you want to see!

i’ve heard that the lenovo u1 hybrid-tablet two-systems-in-one doohickey will be there. if it’s everything they say it is, that thing is ripe for tinkering. i’d love to hear what somebody with a hacker mindset thinks of that thing after seeing it in person.
