3D printing at CES 2014
3D printing has now got its entire own section at CES 2014 and from a quick walk through you can see why. There were numerous manufacturers but the two that stood out most were “The Sugar Lab” who are 3D printing food from sugar and MakerBot who seem to be completely owning the market at the moment.
Intel and Dreamworks CES 2014
One of the most impressive talks came from Kate Swanborg of Dreamworks Animation. Kate has been with Dreamworks through releases like Shrek, Madagascar, The Croods, A Sharks Tale and the last release Turbo.

TweetShirt CES 2014
CES 2014 brought the Social Media Vending machine right into the think of it. “IF” you could get an internet connection you could theoretically tweet the machine with a special tweet plus a code and it would dispense a t-shirt for you.

LG Curved CES 2014
The very first stand I came across this year was LG. This was surprising as last year in the main hall Samsung dominated everything (except Sony’s wrap around screen that was impressive.) LG had a very impressive passive 3D display which was just incredible to watch, unfortunately the images and video don’t translate very well. There was nothing dramatically new …
Qualcomm Formula E Launch for CES 2014
Today Qualcomm launched the Formula E car in the US. The car has made several appearances but this was its first public demonstration.

What a great way to start CES 2014, watching a giant radio …

CES 2014 It’s Confirmed! I have just received my confirmation that I will be part of the official UK Delegation to CES 2014. For the CES 2013 event there just didn’t seem to be enough time in the day to get everything done so for 2014 there is going to have to be a lot more planning. If you don’t …
Adding comments and social sharing to Ghost

UPDATE Ghost 0.3.1 Maintenance Release
Today I braced myself to update to the latest version of Ghost v 0.3.1. To my surprise it was actually relatively simple. All it took was a bit of SSH, File transfer and knowing how to start / stop the web services on my new CentOS Box and of course doing the same to Ghost 0.3.1. Straight up I cannot …
