Contrary to all my friends assertions, I loved it. Most of that story is over here. But there was a lot I didn’t have room to mention.

First, there aren’t a lot of women there.

menescalator

Wait. There were a few.

boothbabes

But! There were products for women, subtly displayed.

ballerina

stoneusb

Actually that brooch USB key is killer. I’m pissed I didn’t buy that. Other stuff I left behind:

humidifier

A “personal humidifier.”

retromicro

A retro microphone from Blue Microphones. I want to start a podcast just so I can sit in front of one all day with my hair in barrel curls.

tinykara

A tiny karaoke machine you can take anywhere. Isn’t that a subway scene in a bad rom-com waiting to happen? I know! Screenwriters, start your engines.

holgastereo

A Holga Stereo and slide viewer that lets you see your photos in 3-D.

basicpack

This super basic backpack from Isis would be great for travel.

creepyhand

And a set of creepy plastic hands to hold all my new gadgets.

There’s a lot more cool stuff in my Flickr stream, if you feel inclined to have a look.

Tomorrow, let’s talk about ALT.
