Hey--

I heard about this technology-related event, and it sounds interesting. I thought people on the board might be curious, if they live around New York.

It's taking place on October 14 from 2-7, 15 and 16 from 11am to 7, and Sunday the 17th from 10 to 4pm. at the Javits Center in Manhattan. It's called Digital Life-- it seems like it's kinda in a similar vein to something like CES. You get a chance to see a bunch of new tech products early. Plus there will be workshops, speakers, and prize drawings for things like flatscreen TVs etc. Also there will also be some musical artists attending-- the two I know the most about are Ludacris and Ghostface Killah, but there are going to be some others there too.

As I understand it, tickets also get you into Game On NY (an electronic gaming conference: www.gameonny.com) and the CMJ Music Marathon. It's pretty cheap-- adults $12 / students and seniors $8, plus there's a discount for certain commuters (but if you buy them late the price goes up). Their URL is www.digitallife.com.

Anyway, it seemed like something folks might be interested in-- I'm looking into going down if I can manage it. A couple of the workshops that might be interesting, like the one on digital photography and the one about computer security.

I heard about this technology-related event that might be of interest to electronic gamers, if they live around New York.

It's taking place on October 14 from 2-7, 15 and 16 from 11am to 7, and Sunday the 17th from 10 to 4pm. at the Javits Center in Manhattan. It's called Digital Life-- it seems like it's kinda in a similar vein to something like CES. You get a chance to see a bunch of new tech products early, including new games, and you can ask advice from tech experts. Also, strangely enough, a bunch of Def Jam artists (Ludacris, Ghostface Killah, N.O.R.E., Joe Budden) are going to be appearing. You can win stuff, get free music, etc.

As I understand it, the tickets also get you into Game On NY (a conference specifically focused on electronic gaming) and the CMJ Music Marathon. It's pretty cheap - $8 for students/ $12 adults. The URL is www.digitallife.com.

I'm familiar with that event. I get the invites ;)

I'll be at the CES one in Las Vegas.

PS: One announcement in one forum is enough. Thanks.
