Well...

Its all over but the packing and shipping

So before we play the last hand and give out the last 2GB flash drive, let's re-cap a little, shall we?

• We saw some stars
  
  
• We produced a lot of content, turning our booth into a second home for our on-air and online brands.
  
  
• Our NBC Universal volunteer booth staff greeted thousands of attendees who visited our Jack Morton Worldwide designed booth (complete with a 100-foot peacock-themed mobile)
  
  
• Our visitors downloaded nearly ten-thousand pieces of NBCU content from the Mediaport-powered download kiosks.
  
  
• American Express Open (powered by Peacock Productions) shot every day and created some programming magic of their own last night.
  
  
• Our fuzzy-chaired blogging station made news every day.
  
  
• Peter Frampton played for us at the Gibson guitat tent.
  
  
• Maria Bartiromo made the cover of Vegas magazine.
  
  
• And, oh yes, we got to see some cool new consumer electronics.

All of it was the result of tremendous work from a best-in-the-business creative and production team drawn from every part of the company.

So until we meet again.

Remember....

PS -- We want to leave you with this image of the future.  An early adopter who was one of the last visitors to our booth today.  Meet Sarah Elizabeth Foulke, age 5-1/2 months, downloading some NBCU content with a little help from mom, Heather Moler.

Everything comes to an end... even CES. The hordes of convention attendees have started to thin out. The lines for things like food, taxis, and bathrooms have all drastically shortened. And believe it or not I actually got a seat on the Las Vegas Monorail this morning.

On behalf of the blogger platform, I just wanted to say thank you to the "fans" of this blog who stopped by to say hi (people were really reading this), celebrities like Damon Wayans, Jessica Kumari and David Pogue who posed for photos here, and especially the the guest bloggers below who kept the fuzzy white Austin Powers chairs warm all week.

And let's not forget Rosie, who showed up on the blogger platform again this morning!

Overall it was a great show. There were lots of great electronics here at CES and the exhibitor booths looked great.

I just have one suggestion for Jack Morton Worldwide, the people who made our booth. There was something missing from the wall behind the blogger platform. Nothing major. Just a little red arrow. I fixed it in Photoshop.

CES 2008 is winding down. Just 2 more hours to go until the convention floor closes and all the exhibitors start packing up their booths. Mark Lukasiewicz, the CES project leader for NBC Universal, is sitting with me on the blogger station right now in a white fuzzy chair. Mark is writing a blog post to sum up everything we did here at CES.

And Gia Pace is doing her best to keep the booth staff hydrated until the very end. Hey, we are in the middle of the desert right?
