NYC gdgt event 2011

Yesterday was a BLAST. I went with my mom to to gdgt event (because nobody else would come with me) to see the new technology. When I first arrived, the line was long! It went literally one whole city block and required extra security to maintain order. And when I went in...well, it wasn't what I expected, but it was really interesting. I initially thought I'd see things similar to the Consumer Electronics Show (CES). And it was!...sorta. The event space was really small and not many companies went, but it was a huge crowd. Of course, I got a lot of freebies too, from pens, to stickers to T-shirts (will upload pictures sometime this week). The main sponsper was AT&T and displayed the oldest phones at our table. I even got my Sony Xperia X10 into their AT&T revolve project! It was amazing. Lastly, I was able to see some 3-D printers. I've seen them before but seeing them again brought back memories. Plus, these printers were created from geeks like me (also from Brooklyn), so that made me proud. Oh, and BlueAnt Technologies also had their LED T-shirts on raffle today! It looked so cool that I want one! I can't imagine myself wearing one though - I'd stand out too much. I'm definitely attending this event again next year.
