Now that we've survived the frigid beast that is Las Vegas, we can finally get back into our everyday groove. Today's show is all about recovery and recollection, as we desperately try to piece together the last week of our lives. Listen in for a full CES 2009 recap with tons of juicy details and a few Internet stories on the side.

What. Just. Happened?! The past five days are completely a blur, and we collectively remember about four hours total. Did we really see a blind guy at a club where vision is a necessity? Did we really stay in a hotel room with double HDTVs and a third TV in the bathroom? Did we really eat more than 300 crab legs between the three of us? And most importantly, did we really lose that much money on the blackjack tables?

We ponder these questions and more on today's CES wrap-up show. If you didn't have a chance to watch the live shows, I've posted them below for your enjoyment. It's definitely good to be back after such a long vacation. Now let's try to forget what just happened again.

RE: Mashups

The master of Mashup has been doing this since before peeps were editing mashups on computer. DJ Z-Trip does it all at the turntables, live... with live sampling, looping, etc. He really takes it all to a whole new level. I appreciate edited mashups, but they just can't hold a candle to the real thang:

Not to mention, his live shows are absolutely sick. This guy knows how to throw a party.

Wickawickawicka!

This is one of the funniest 404 podcast of this year. Actually, one of the funniest shows since Brian Tong was on the show before CES. Great work guys.

guys they dont speak farsi or urdu. They speak hindi in the movie.
Farsi is spoken in Iran.
And although Urdu is spoken among most Muslims in India, Hindi is more common in Mumbai (where the movie is set)... so its factually pretty correct too.
