CeBIT 2009: The Empty Space

May 13, 2009

Vendors, vendors everywhere but not a spot to sit. Well, unless you count the area where you can get a coffee… there were places to sit there. CeBIT Sydney 2009 had almost every spot filled with companies, organisations, and businesses from nearly every sector of IT. But despite all of this, there was still some space to be had… or was...

CeBIT 2009: What’s Free?

May 13, 2009

Being that today – May 12* – was the first day of Sydney’s CeBIT show, we took a little wander down through the halls to try an experiment: How much crap could we get for free? Swag is what most people go to a computer expo for. Well, that and seeing new products. So our little experiment (which fellow Gadget Grill follower Ross Lieber helped...

On Air! – March 22, 2009

Mar 23, 2009

This is more like a test run than anything else, but we’re going to try to put these together quickly following each show… Presenting On Air!, a new video segment filmed in the studio while the radio show is being broadcasted.
