I thought I'd get away from it all this Labor Day weekend. Where better to find a little quiet time than Vegas?
Well, I have an excuse.
Some techie friends of mine were coming here to party and I've always been fascinated by their definition of the word "party."
It seems to involve offering themselves to bachelorette parties as male strippers, paying $1,000 for a bottle of vodka so that they can attract the attentions of 21-year-old (I hope) girls from Skokie, Ill., and generally working up an enormous sweat for precious little gain.
Being in Vegas, though, it's inevitable that the subject of tech always reached my frontal lobe at some point. This is the home of CES. This is a place where you can lose yourself, your sense of dignity and your shirt and claim to have had a wonderful time.
Tech always claims a deep sophistication for itself, while Vegas has often been associated with words such as "sordid," "sleaze," and "sin."
