Happy New Years!!!! I wish the best in health, wealth, and happiness to all while causing a bit of trouble here and there while making changes for the better!

Sorry for not updating throughout the break but I decided to take some off-line time enjoying the real world a bit. A bit of mahjong, pool, bowling, shuffle puck, golf, fooseball, gambling(craps), go-kart racing, movies, darts, and wayyyyyy to much delicious food with family and friends!

I’m back catching up to a mountain of emails and goodies to post about. If you’ve spotted anything inspirational worth checking out, please send it my way.

Gadgetoff 2007 Recap

rocket bike jet bike gadgetoff 2007

Woa, bang, boom, yikes, aha! That about sums up my experience at Gadgetoff 2007. What a mind torching adventure with a surplus of surprises, ear wrenching explosions, curious minds, and a safari into a wonderful world of gadgets we all love to geek about! Everything from flame throwing bbq’s, rocket bikes, robotics on wheels, and hybrid cars roamed every corner while gaming devices, weird toys, numbing food items, interactive screens, musical instruments, and hot air balloons filled up the rest of this landscape of greatness with people from all ages and disciplines.

Gadgetoff’s spontaneous flow of events kept you on your feet, jumping from boats, to buildings, into a rustic railroad house, and a cool science museum while somehow getting us all to sit calmly in an auditorium for several intellectually stimulating lectures. We were a geek fest storming the town in fashion with electronics in every pocket, Segways leading the crowd, and individuals rifling with excitement on anything cool and usually out of the ordinary.

I’ll post a few pictures on my adventure after the jump with notes, otherwise, hit up Gadgetoff.com, their blog, or a bunch of their YouTube Videos thanks to Michael (co-founder)
