As we begin the new year, CES is always front and center to get things kicked off. Companies and journalists from around the world converge on Las Vegas for a whirlwind of information for gadgets from all sorts of categories.

We are going to kick off this episode talking about a handful of items that have caught our eye from the coverage this week along with thoughts on some of the other things to hit our feeds.

We would love to have you join us on Slack to continue the discussion. Please visit the Slack page here, fill out the form and you will then receive an invite to the channel. Pretty simple and not only do you get to talk with us and other fans of the show, we also look to use the Slack channel for giveaways.

So whether you are a user of Android, iPhone or Windows Mobile, there is an official app there for you along with using the web experience.

Congrats to Sam Ventimiglia aka @TwentyMiles75 for winning the Star Wars themed Google Cardboard set courtesy of Verizon Wireless!

As listeners of the Tech Informist podcat, we appreciate each and every one of you and thank you for take the time to let us ramble on for an hour talking about things we love.

To help us keep this going and be able to acquire fun things to giveaway we would appreciate if you could spare a minimum of $1 per month. If everyone who listened to the show would donate that $1 minimum each month, I cannot begin to tell you what we could buy for these giveaways. But believe me, the choices would be really cool and worthwhile!

Again, we are not going to twist your arms to donate, but if you appreciate what we do and bring each week, please visit our Support page here to get started.

Thank you!
