CES 2009 LIVE BlogYesterday

Sitting backstage amid a flurry of activity, I am now set up with my work space to record the complete keynote audio for posting later today.

In addition, I’ll be live blogging the keynote using Coveritlive (below.) This is much more interactive and easier to follow since no refresh is required…just sit back and I do most of the the work. 

The keynote kicks off tonight at 6:30pm local time here in Las Vegas (find out what time that is in your time zone)  and I’ll start the live blog about 30-minutes before. Drop in and join us!

Update: Microsoft.com will have a stream of the event here.

Before, during and after the Keynote, head on over to our IRC Server if you want chat directly with others as well.
