WSJ.com’s Tech Diary’s Andy Jordan attends one of the geekier get-togethers ever–a LAN party, playing video games all night.
Exciting? Not!
How did we miss this video of WSJ.com’s Tech Diary vlogger Andy Jordan getting Tasered by a leopard-skin device at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this past week?
Fun!
Here he mistreats an animatronic dinosaur, which calls for more Tasering:

Favorite quote when Jordan asks a trucker if he has a laptop and is misheard: “Lap Dancer? No, I’m married.”
It’s certainly a long way from CB radio–10-4, good buddy.
Printed canapes?
WSJ Online’s Andy Jordan reports on three-dimensional printing at home, called Fab@Home.
In other words, someday you could “print” your own cellphone or even a robot that could walk out of the printer. And, it’s possible that device can even print food. Yum.

The WSJ.com’s Tech Diary vlogger Andy Jordan visited the Digital Life gadget show in New York last week and gets digitally altered (including elf ears!), sees his facial hair too close up and meets way too many robots.
Here’s the video:
The WSJ.com’s Tech Diary video blogger Andy Jordan tags along with one of the members of Best Buy’s “Geek Squad.”
“I’m an actual geek!” he tells one of his customers. Printer disaster! Too-hot laptop. Clip-on tie, white socks and black shoes! Fun!
Ok, here is my personal nightmare: Having a stranger sitting next to me on an airplane chattering endlessly throughout a flight, when all I want to do is read, watch a movie or sleep.
Now, horror of horrors, there is a service on Virgin America where passengers can do seat-to-seat chatting. WSJ.com’s Tech Diary video blogger [...]
Here is our email from WSJ.com’s Tech Diary video blogger Andy Jordan about his how-people-use-free-wireless post this week: “Weird wacky fun in the park. Rats and opera singers.”
That would be land-mine-finding rats and job-seeking opera singers!
Well, how can we resist posting that? And so we will not!
Here is an interesting video by WSJ.com’s Andy Jordan on a movement called “steampunk,” where modern-day gadgets are rebuilt to look as if they were made in Victorian times. We liked the porthole CD player a lot:

Here’s yet another new video blog effort in the tech space, this time from Morgan Webb in an awfully enthusiastic offering called WebbAlert.
Besides the daily video, she also does a short blog post on the report with links from around the Web. Given only the first one to comment on, I would say Webb is [...]
Or more specifically, gets lost in the woods with them in order to go on a treasure hunt/trivia contest using a GPS system. Of course, they get lost! Plus it’s buggy!
