Anyhoo. Stuff Live is the big gizmo, doohickey and technology expo put on yearly by a coalition of like-minded technophiles. Big sound systems, widescreen everything, every type of electronic game under the sun, and a rotating assortment of the year's trendy consumer electronics.
There's a Guitar Hero stage this year, and I've been practicing up.
Wait 'til the Brits see me replicate, note-for-note, the entire Rush
album "Moving Pictures." Score one for the Yanks! Well, the Canadians,
technically. But still. Some of the early highlights I've seen: The astounding Hover Chair, which uses high-powered repelling magnets to support a lounger that literally does not touch the ground. The designer says he was inspired by the Tatooine landspeeders in Star Wars, so that's a recommendation right there.
I've also got my eye on the Vetrix's line of electric scooters and motorbikes. The girls at the booth are promising a top speed of 125 mph. Give me a crack at the drive train, I told them, and I'll bet I can wind it up to 200 mph. They politely declined.
Gotta run, but I'll be hitting the trade show floor tomorrow, in my new Halloween costume. I'm dressing as a mitochondrion. More updates as events warrant.
