Happy New Year fellow Geeks!
Thank you for a most excellent 2006 and hopefully for an even better 2007! The Geeks have planned out an exciting New Year starting this month with new bloggers and blogs coming on board the Geeks network and our extensive coverage of CES while we're there from the beginning through the end not to mention MacWorld the week after. This should be a fun month!
Amazon Prime has been an absolute time saver over the past six months. In the past I would weigh the monetary and time costs of shipping verses just going to the store and buying. Also, Christmas shopping could take days and time away from work or family. With Amazon Prime I now do most of my shopping and get free 2 day shipping (which can be upgraded to 1 day shipping for $3.99). I was able to do the majority of my Christmas shopping late night so I didn't have to interfere with work or family time.

A few blogs have offered tips on how to approach the overwhelming spectacle that is the Consumer Electronics Show of shows. I’d suggest you get plenty of sleep this week and exercise so your cardiovascular system is in shape.
When you arrive at the airport grab the 108 North bus, you could be stuck for hours waiting for a taxi.
The most important thing of all is to have fun! Many companies will be there under pressure to sell and ... Read entire article今年2006年は本当に出張の多い一年だった。まだまだ来年もこれ以上のペースになりそうなのではあるが、、、(^^;
まず、すっかり恒例になったが今年も仕事始めはアメリカはLasVegasで開催されたInternational CESを見学するところから始まった。その会場ではTreo 700Wにうっとりし、W-ZERO3に続いて日本国内でさらに多くSmartPhoneが出ないかなあと、そんなことを思ったのを思い出す。
3月にもドイツ ハノーバーで開催されたCeBITにも久しぶりに行ってきた。携帯電話系の新製品は2月にバルセロナで開かれた3GSMのほうにかなりとられてしまっていたが、初めて触れる新製品のSmartPhoneに大いに感激して帰ってきた。このときにHTC HermesやNokia E61にも初めて触れたのだ。そうそう、マイクロソフトのOrigamiデバイス／UMPCに触れることが出来たのもこのときだ。
ハノーバーから帰国すると、長らくお待たせしたW-ZERO3パワーナビゲーターの本がようやく出版された。久しぶりの書籍執筆への参加だったのだが、評判は上々で、おかげさまで1回増刷も出来たり、続編の企画も行われたり、大変幸せだったと思う。読者の皆さんや関係者に感謝したい。
4月には香港に出かけた。これだけは出張ではない。香港高密度高速電脳巡回ツアーだ。山根博士、TJさん、kuroさん、reveilさんほかにお世話になった。香港はまた行きたい街だ。すごく気に入ってしまった。
5月にはボストンとニューヨークに出かけた。MITのメディアラボの訪問などが目的だった。 そして11月にはもう一度、パリ、ボストン、シリコンバレーと回ってきている。この出張はなんと一週間で世界一周するというハードスケジュールだった。
一年に5回も海外に出かけたなんて今までにないことだった。いやあ、これだけ見ても、忙しい年だったはずだわ。
そうそう、そんな忙しい間を縫って購入したマシンはというと、Vaio type U、HTC TyTN、Nokia E70、Softbank X01HT、工人舎のミニノートSA1F00Aと、大変小ぶりなものに終始した気がする。この中で一番気に入っているのはX01HTであるが、完成度の点では今一歩という評価である。ちょっと残念。ということで、これ以外にNokia E61を発注済でもある。
来年は、メインのノートPCもWindoswVistaの登場に伴い買い替えを考えたいし、それ以上にOQOのModel 02も気になる。さらに、日本でもSmartPhoneがたくさん出てにぎやかになってほしいものだ。
