Virtual #CES How-To:
Since CES 2021 this year is virtual, there's a lot of you that are going to be missing out on the true physical experience. I have compiled a short guide for you to play along at home.

1) WALKING: While you watch the streams, read your emails, and watch product launches, you're going to want to walk in place at your desk. Make sure you walk a lot. I mean walk during the entire thing. If you aren't on the verge of developing shin splints, you're doing it wrong.

2) TALK: You need to be talking. Talk to yourself. Talk about the products that are on screen. Fire up your favorite voice chat application and discuss with your peers. If you're voice isn't getting hoarse, you're doing it wrong.

3) EAT: Don't worry about eating meals during the day. You don't have time. Water and snack foods are your friends here. At the end of the day go to your kitchen and make 12 different items. If you want to do #1 and #2 while you're cooking #3 to save time, ok. Enjoy your buffet.

4) ALCOHOL: After you are done with your homemade, all you can eat buffet, you need alcohol. And not just a glass of wine or a beer. You need a lot. Like, more than you normally would drink. Feel free to continue to talk to yourself and walk in place while drinking. #PARTY

5) SLEEP: After you drink entirely way too much alcohol, you need to stumble to your bedroom. Once you get back to your bedroom you must review a few more emails and your schedule for tomorrow. The target goal here is 4-6 hours of sleep, max.

6) RINSE and REPEAT: Do this exact same thing again and again until CES is over. Use coffee and energy drinks where fit. On the the final day complain that you're never going to do this again, but secretly prepare yourself for doing it again next year.
