LATEST ADDITIONS

As we <A HREF="http://www.stereophile.com/news/032706ces">reported last March</A>, the Consumer Electronics Association decided to move the "high-performance audio" and "high-performance home theater" exhibits of the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) to Las Vegas' Venetian Hotel in 2007. Here, then, in a blatant attempt to scoop my show-reporting <I>Stereophile</I> colleagues, is my picture of the new CES venue. I actually took this picture last year, not in anticipation of the change in show venue, but simply because I’m a sucker for the ersatz-European ambience of Las Vegas hotel-casinos like the Venetian. And whatever the advantages/disadvantages of the Venetian for demonstrating audio equipment, you have to admit that it’s picturesque!

The <I>Stereophile</I> editors are getting ready for CES 2007 and will be reporting live from the show starting Monday, January 8. Join John Atkinson, Wes Phillips, Larry Greenhill, Robert Deutsch, Stephen Mejias, and Jon Iverson as they file their reports and photos.

It's a sensory-motor memory thing.

I made a small noise.

I like Adam Baratz's essay limning similarities between Robert Crumb and Frank Zappa.

Another breakthrough in mapping the brain. I'm thinking that one day we'll start to understand how it works, but at least now I know which part of my brain I'm thinking that with.
