Seen at EHX Spring — full coverage here

I got back from CES yesterday, taking the red-eye into Dulles and spending most of the morning asleep in bed.

Overall, the show was okay. Like every year, it's busy, but due to the amount of "news" that comes out, I spent most of my time in the press room, writing up stories and turning around slideshows.

From when I arrived on Saturday night until Wednesday evening, I literally spent most of my hours working. Yeah, I slept some, but from the West Coast timezone (gotta get stories live for East Coast ASAP) and the events at night, CES makes for some long days.

The work obviously pays off, as CE Pro had a number of good traffic days.

Besides the reporting, it was nice to meet a few people in the industry. I had a nice chat with Patrick Norton of Tekzilla, caught up with Dave Zatz and met Ben Drawbaugh of EngadgetHD (and team).

Outside of the industry, I got my picture taken with Big Papi David Ortiz and saw Brian Williams do the nightly news.

Thankfully, there aren't any tradeshows coming up for me … at least not until EHX Spring, March 11-15 in Orlando.

After making the big move down to DC two weeks ago, we barely had any time to settle in.

We moved in on a Thursday, went to Philadelphia for the weekend (with a stop in Harrisburg on Sunday), then back down to our new place.

But that's not the end of the traveling — while Debbie stayed home, I flew out Monday to Long Beach, Calif. to cover EHX Fall until Friday. So for the first week and a half in our new place, I spent a total of two nights here.

Thankfully, the traveling is over for now and we're starting to settle in. There are plenty of boxes still to be unpacked (mostly books, since our new place does not have the wonderful built-in bookshelves we used to have) but we're getting there.

We're all connected with the Internet and TV and phone, which is crucial considering we have absolutely no cell phone service inside. It works perfectly out on the porch, but inside the phone basically blows up.

Sounds like an excuse to get an iPhone, right? Stay tuned …

Okay, so it might not have been a national TV appearance, like when I was on G4's Attack of the Show, but in addition to my video blogging last week from EHX, I also made a radio appearance.

Now that I'm back from EHX and the greater Los Angeles area, time to fill you in on what I've been up to.

Namely - video blogging.
