Gadget Geeks and Digital Disasters Welcome

In these pictures New York Times TechnologyDavehk columnistDavehk2 David Pogue and I are trying to figure out how to launch our shuttle in the Challenger Learning Center at the Discovery Museum in Bridgeport. But it wasn't until we put on our proper space suits that we were able to figure out the process.



Whether you are technically challenged, meaning that you still haven't figured out how to program your phone or TiVo, or if you're always looking to learn what is new and hot in the tech world, you will want to stop by the Consumer Tech Fest at the museum this weekend.



You can get your hands on the items David Pogue has reviewed for the New York Times. The Fest is Saturday and Sunday, September 30 - October 1, with a preview cocktail party and auction Friday night at 7:00 pm.



See exhibits and demonstrations of all the newest gadgets. Plus, the makers will be there to give you hands-on help. Exhbitors include Apple, Best Buy, Bose, Canon, Dell, Edge Lab, JVC, Lego, Nuance, Panasonic, Pentax, Plantronics, Sonos, Star 99.9, TiVo, Westport Magazine, XM Radio and more. Here is a list of the top 10 Hottest Hi-Tech items at the fair and in the live and silent auction Friday night.



Speaking of Friday night, David Pogue will serve as MC of the preview cocktail party. But like in real life, he'll have more than one role. You might know him as the Technology Correspondent for the New York Times who has a daily blog, a weekly column and email column, plus a weekly video review of a product. He is also currently shooting for his new series for the Discovery Channel called, "It's All Geek To Me."



Friday night not only will David lead the live auction, he'll give his advice on all the toys, plus entertain with his musical antics on the piano.



If only I spoke with David before getting my new phone!
