We just returned home from an extended weekend in Vegas. It was a nice little getaway with hubby as a surprise Christmas gift. The only thing that I'm kicking myself for is not scheduling it a few days later. It wasn't really an option though since the kids have school and putting that kind of strain on the babysitter (AKA grandparents) just isn't very fair.

What difference did the date make? If I was there a few days later, I could have attended the much coveted CES. When I received invitations to see some of my clients, I was disappointed to have to say "Sorry, I'm leaving Las Vegas on the 5th." The 2010 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) runs from January 7-10.

But one came through for me. After sending condolences for not being able to attend, he said "There will be plenty of stuff going on streaming video-wise. So it’ll be like you’re there!" While I would have loved to attend in person, streaming is the next best thing. What happens in Vegas, Stays in Vegas... unless, of course, it's streaming online.

Kodak has lined up "Live from CES" hourly presentations on the K-Zone. I encourage you to stop by the K-Zone to check out the entire schedule of panels, but here is a sampling to wet your whistle:

I realize that being there is the primary choice but streaming is the next best thing. However, for some, the timing on these may conflict with other activities but Kodak has provided a reminder service to help ensure you don't miss out. Text the KZone Code to 484848 to receive a reminder 20 minutes before the program airs. And if you miss it, "reruns" are nicely organized by day at the K-Zone or you can find them on YouTube.

Kodak has some great products and I'm excited to be able to work with them. As a thank you for sharing this information with you, they're giving me one of their KODAK D830 Digital Frames. As a special treat, they're also providing an extra for one of my readers! Keep reading for how you can enter to win.
