Thanks for the interview, Ian - very funny show this week. 36:29 – 40:20 – Media Center Dinner…. at this point, I really do have to say it wasn’t a complete beerfest. But whenever I bumped into Ian (and his microphone) we both appeared to have beers in our hand. Great fun. Ian, Andrew and I [...]

Ian Dixon has been doing a valliant job of editing and sharing a huge variety of interviews he conducted at CES last week. Even though 140,000 people attend CES, it’s funny how you bump into the same people regularly, and every time I saw Ian, he had his tablet PC and microphone at the ready. Great [...]
