I’m totally a tech-geek, I’ll admit it. Well, ok. I’m an everything-geek, and technology is no exception. So I went to check out Wired’s NextFest to do a little crashing, I was psyched! I really love Wired magazine and even subscribe like the nerd I am. I get all my geeky info from alternative news sources as much as possible. But there just weren’t that many cool gadgets at this convention. A freaggin robotic bartender? Didn’t someone try that in 1950? Does our culture need this? I feel like I’ve seen a black and white TV commercial on some old-timey special that showcased such a product. And this is what Wired NextFest offers. The best, by far though, was a hug shirt. This is a shirt that hugs you. WTF???I also got to ride that cultural phenomenon that is known as a Segway, which sucked but was HILARIOUS, especially since GOB drives one. You never did change the way people scoot about in society, now, did you Ginger? And there were some revved up astro-nerds to talk to, and I like talking to them a lot. But overall, I give this exhibition a C, and my coverage an A.
