CES is now over and we discuss of host of CES products sure to impact our world, like the latest in 3D printers and Smart TV.
Combining Science and Shamanism, we performed an on air rain greetings for the second part of this show. Forecasters say rain is coming, so like the band greeting the train at the station, we welcomed the rain gods.
