Tech Chatr 30 - Goodbye Technobabble, Hello CES 2019

Tech Chatr 30 - Goodbye Technobabble, Hello CES 2019

 Well, my friends as the last episode signaled the end of an era this episode brings the beginning of a new one with TECH CHATR our new name and an all-new logo to boot! 

This episode we are starting not only a new chapter with our new show name but also a new series of episodes focused on the cool technological innovations seen at the Consumer Electronics Show at the beginning of January 2019. This episode is specifically centered around the weird and wacky products you might not think would be up front and center at a show like CES but we brought them here for you to hear all about. Since there are so many products, and this intro is already too long, I will skip the links to each product. I will just assume that you, our ever faithful and intelligent listener, can figure out how to google the product we are chatting about if you so choose.

New theme is Jackson by Alex Vaan

25 - Rich Experiments with Facebook Live

Rich experimented with software that didn't allow us to record the usual way, and so we had to trust the internet for sound quality so we could broadcast this on the Facebook page. We are promptly betrayed for this trust, and can only apologize profusely for the results. We will resume our tried and true methods in the future and Rich will not hear the end of it. Promise
