Hello from the Consumer Electronics Show 2008, in Las Vegas, Nev.!

Over the next week, I'll be meeting with the latest and greatest companies with the latest and greatest in outdoor electronic devices. From headphones to heart-rate monitors, if it's electronic and you can use it while doing something outdoors, I'm going to look at it, write about it, and blog it for you!

I've got meetings about everything from the latest in-ear headphones that block out the world while you're on the treadmill, to solar vests that you can wear while you run that charge your iPod on the fly. It's going to be an amazing week, full of some really, really cool stuff.

It's funny — CES has made my girlfriend and her family hate me. My girlfriend hates me because I'm away in Vegas all week. Her father hates me because I get to see all the coolest stuff without him.

I can't win. Such is life. But I don't care. The geek exerciser in me is so very happy right now.

So stay tuned! It's going to be a really, really fun week!
