Welcome to 2006 and welcome back to the geek speaks.A quick update to start the year off, this week is the annual CES (International Consumer Electronics Show) in Las Vegas,NV. Lots of tech news, product launches and booth babes for all you nerds and geeks lucky enough to make the trip out there.

Hello again all, I know that this isn't more CES news, or is it...A little background: Basically a security hole was discovered (Dec 27,2005) and brought to the attention of Microsoft on Dec. 28, 2005. This security issue allowed a malicious hacker/web site creator/spammer to use a security flaw in the way that ALL Windows Operating Systems dealt with files known as a Metafiles.

I am sitting on the bus heading home wondering what is going on at CES, and if the Google keynote has started by Larry Paige.

I have been mulling over what to do with the rest of my life again LOL. This is at least the 2nd or 3rd time I have done this. But as a lot of you know I am a digg.com fanatic ( I think I have broken 1000 stories I have dugg). But recently I realized the majority of the stories that interest me are Unix/Linux and Web2.0.

I have been reading, listening, & watching everything I can get my chubby little hands on CES related. First and foremost I have to say that a fantasitic site that was updated constantly was Engadget. Specifically, the keynote live blogging for all the keynotes was great, thanks so much for all your dilegence. Reading and reporting the hundreds of duplicate stories on digg was a fun past-time all week long.

Enter Steve Jobs about 9 mins after 9am PST and straight into the techno-goodness he is known for. The Expo keynote gets underway with changes to the iLife suite (iPhoto, iDVD, GarageBand, iMovie, and the new iWeb). Lots of tweaks to the existing apps including the addition of Podcast suite to GarageBand (this is a nice addition to GarageBand and great as proof of Apple's acknowledging the Podcaster's need).

After yesterday's blog posting I have done nothing but talk about it with friends and family. All of these poor folks in my life are tired of hearing about the tech d`jour. But thank goodness for my blog and you folks for coming by and reading my rants.I was so excited about the keynote yesterday that I watched the crappy stream available on Apple's website.

Ok after all the MacWorld news I find it hard to get back to the CES news LOL.There were a few things (technologies) that

Welcome back folks, sorry for the lapse in blogs this last few days. I was a little burnt out from the technology tsunami from CES & MacWorld. Just because I wasn't posting doesn't mean I haven't been soaking up all I can get my eyes on. I have taken a few entry level and higher HTML classes through my job. These were very low-end but worth it to resurface all that old knowledge I have from doing website design and creation years ago.
