Hey! Just wanted to let you know I’m back to work at NEAT Receipts after my exciting trip to Las Vegas for the 2008 Consumer Electronics Show. What an adventure! And I learned so much…not just about the future of consumer electronics, but about myself.

I learned that road warriors are people, not just a demographic we talk about in meetings. And after having the opportunity to speak with them all week, I am so proud to work for a company that can help them in a real and meaningful way.

I learned that no matter how easy they go down, two drinks is definitely my limit.

I learned that working the booth at a trade show is really hard work! I thought it would be like one big party, but I was on my feet all day, talking to people, and exhausted the whole time. In fact, here’s a picture of me about to fall over!

I learned that everyone - even the people we look up to most - sometimes make mistakes. The guys at Gizmodo, one of my favorite blogs, screwed up big time. Not only did they pull a really mean prank by turning off big TV screens at several companies’ booths, but they also did a robot roundup at the show — and forgot to include me! How lame.

Lastly, I learned that the odds are best in blackjack, but the house always wins in the end.

I’m so glad to be home. Scanny out.
