26 | June | 2013 | "DESTROY ALL FANBOYS!"

Bleh. Long and tiring day, I lost my camera, so no CE pics to post with the stuff I’m going to be writing save for some stock pics I’ll need to grab at some point this weekend. That said, I fell head over heels for a super simple tablet carrier that’s pure genius, a camera mount that Apple only wishes it came up with, a stupidly expensive gaming PC, a crazy but simple exercise device and a massage chair, both also costing an arm and a leg. Add in the new Westinghouse (of all companies!) TV with a screen you can DRAW ON (Wha-whaaaaaat?), more 4K madness that you can shake a stick at (despite NO 4K programming to watch at all… yet), a bunch of other fun stuff (WATERPROOF phone/tech bags!) and yup. CE Week is pretty darn cool. My 2013 Holiday Gift Guide is going to be an easy one to write, that’s for sure…

Got a stupidly long conference to attend tomorrow, but we’ll see about that, as it’s all about second screen evangelizing and I know for a fact that we’re a good hack away from none of that stuff working as well as everyone wishes. Eh, well. maybe I’ll learn something interesting other than hearing “game changer” and “revolution” every sixteen seconds… back tomorrow. Good night.

OK, thanks to some very fine detective work (not by me – I just spackle on the snark here), the part of Robin was played yesterday by the one and only Aaron Sagers of MTV fame and also host of Travel Channel’s Paranormal Pop Culture and a few too many other things which means he either doesn’t sleep much or has clones running around. Yeah, I like Orphan Black a lot – so sue me.

Anyway, I still think the man still needs a decent Robin costume (sewn up for him by someone on Etsy, of course – gotta keep the NYC dollars here, right?). Hmmm… where’s my Magic Excuse Ball?… Ah, there it is! (shake!) Hey, he was wearing a mask and I didn’t know who he was! (shake!) Er…. I don’t watch MTV these days (thanks to playing too many games or watching more movies lately)! and (shake, shake!) hey, the lady behind me who wanted to put her squealing kid in that Batmobile for a picture made me laugh when she tapped me on the shoulder and asked if I knew who that guy was before offering up a suggestion or two I didn’t write (this IS a family show, folks)…

And yes, while we didn’t get an Yvonne Craig episode yesterday, there WAS a Batgirl of sorts there. You’re welcome.
