Happy New Year, CES ‘08 and many more to come!

This is a later posting,

Happy New Year Everyone,

This year it will be better than it would last year. The year 2007 was a really bad year for me, death in the family, my best friend died in an accident, I got discharge from the military and everything else in between. Fortunately as an Asian, I don’t believe the number 7 is a lucky number. To most Asians, the number 8 is a lucky number when said and written resembles that of the word “Prosper” or “Wealth.” In the muslim culture, the number 8 is the number of angels that carries the throne of God, in arabic is “Allah” the God who created Adam and Eve. In the Hindu religion, it is the number of wealth and abundance.

This year also the start of my third quarter at The Art Institute of Dallas. Followed by the 2008 Consumer Electronic Show (CES ‘08) from the 7th to 10th of January, which I followed vigorously by watching G4TV Attack of The Show, hosted by Kevin Pereira and Olivia Munn (she’s hot for a NERD!).

The main thing that I notice was the introduction of Apple computer’s new Mac Pro, with an outrageous component specs, that would make any gaming pro drools with envy and for art students in AID kill themselves with spending too much money. However, if money is no issue to you, I suggest you nerds, geeks, and the likes to get one.

One of the most anticipated gadget that I have been waiting for is the new Sony OLED (Video – Organic Liquid Emitting Diode) TV. It is so thin that it is only 3mm thick, contrast ration 1,000,000: 1, they don’t need backlighting and it is surely an amazing piece of gadget. Though this is the first time that it had been shown, the price sure is pretty damn expensive, however; with the developing technology around us, I’m quite sure within a couple of years if not months that this all will be affordable for us students at AID.

Check this one out Bug (Video).
