so this is the place where NVIDIA is putting up all the journalists for the
event that I'm attending right now this is kind of cool they've actually got
live trees growing inside the hotel
lobby which seems like a good idea until you're walking around on the inside of a
hotel lobby and it's Autumn and our leaves all over the place still super
neat
though G skill's new rip Jaws 4 Series is their ultimate ddr4 memory with
speeds of up to 3,333 MHz available click now to learn
more so I've been talked into going on a
sailboat um something I hadn't really intended to do but we've uh we've got a
couple hours to kill so wish me luck
right now do a Leonardo
DiCaprio do a
deafo I'm the I'm the king of the
world well they told me I have to sit
down up here but it's definitely uh definitely a different
experience think I'm late for the bus I think we're all supposed to be like
going to the aquarium or something feels kind of like an
elementary school field trip as far as I can tell this is kind of like the NASCAR
of fish except we turn to the right and
thus Begins the aquarium tour so this is interesting we thought
we found one that was going against the flow but apparently they're just all
going to turn around now and I'm sure I'm an idiot for asking this question
but where the hell are they coming from there must be a
trick I walked up behind this guy kind of going why are you looking at these
tiny little things they're stupid and then uh noticed that they like glow and
Flash and stuff check that out
freaking cool apparently these are sea gooseberries because gooseberries glow
all right now we're talking no more jellyfish now we got like sharks and
stuff and they expect us to pay attention to graphics cards
now selfie with a
shark oh the shark's going that way oh my head's covering it there we go check
this out look at all these fish on the bottom you sure don't like that shark
much eh oh here come two more here we
go and if my camera could focus that'd be
great wow it's a good thing this isn't a beauty contest to be
uh featured in here this the nastiest looking
fish this one okay I'm sure it has a heart of gold
there's a like a
hor I'm coming for you
Scott Turtle time now I heard there was
a movie about
these although they moved a little faster in the movie hate to break it to
you dude but uh that's a blue wall all right so I got back to the room
and it looks like the hotel finally managed to drop off my care package so
we'll do a short like package unboxing so to
speak um okay first thing inside is uh
some kind of NVIDIA clothing they're hiring me no no I don't think that's
what's happening no they're just trying to completely take over my wardrobe so
just a little uh subtle NVIDIA thing
it's pretty nice actually all right what's
next
ooh Shield wireless controller a Shield
tablet cover and there is The Shield tablet so
you get the whole shebang tablet cover and wireless controller this is like the
secret piece of paper with all the embargoed information on it hey it's
from model price look at that so presumably a cable of some sort oh okay
so that's mini HDMI to HDMI so that you can use console mode and then we've got
o a name tag I'm from lanus Tech tips
yeah and finally a lard which is
presumably for the name tag not
bad not a bad haul yeah I make haul
videos now or something that's where you like
make a video in the
hall but all right so it's the morning of day
two and I would uh feel and look a lot
better if I hadn't stayed up so late reading all the comments on the 1
million subscriber awesome celebration video but
of course you know still leave comments I will read all the comments on that
video they've been very uplifting um oh
if you haven't already make sure that you're entered in the giveaway over
there giving away a gaming PC a surface it's going to be pretty sweet so now I
finally get to go downstairs and hopefully there's still some breakfast left they're supposedly serving it for
another 20 minutes so I'll get some breakfast and then I'll find out why
we're actually here it's presentation time all right so the presentations are
over and it's time to go and play with the demos so uh naturally that would be
done in the in the ballroom it's kind of like ball pit you
know cuz you play look at this look at this guy
thinks he's allowed to be in my video what's that I don't even have a signed
release from you I'm not putting you in my video you don't have a release not from you wouldn't also wouldn't ask
permission from him it's all right so here is where all the crazy magic new
tech is going on they've got a couple demos from Oculus um as well as
presumably some of the stuff they just showed us so let's go uh let's go have a
look at the demo stations so today was bananas uh some of the stuff we learned
about wasn't really new but um definitely stuff that I didn't have
nearly the kind of understanding of that I now do so uh now it's time to go have
like dinner on the beach or something like that so that's pretty cool and then
tomorrow is another full day of presumably more stuff so I made it to
dinner and uh we've got like the most colorful chairs in the world at what
seems to be like a pretty cool party speaking of cool guys Scott from the
tech report and I caught him off guard here a
little bit I think cool party yeah pretty cool party we've got some prizes
to give away but you need to be here in
the sand isn't that right Kelsey if you

all right well that was totally uh totally worth humiliation this is my
Round of Applause for our great stick holders fantastic stick holders those
are all yours to PE brother anybody so the uh so the beer pong we got kicked
out of the hall here and evidently it's just been set up outside because that's
a sensible thing thank you for
that so so this this is this is the plan
now a table in the middle of the Sand where's
uh where'd he
go all right so it's the last day of the trip and we're going to be doing a
kayaking soon I had the second day of
briefing that of course I can't say anything about at all and I'm just
trying to get some sunscreen so I'm at the Walgreens here and
uh huh okay well apparently this is not a store
entrance so so it's time to go on an
Epic Journey so an interesting thing I
realized while I was here is that I've been calling I'm assuming I've been
calling the cheese wrong all this time I call it Montery Jack and uh I think it
must be Monteray cuz everyone here pronounces it that way the soldiers were
making fun of me for vlogging I was going to tell them off but they're
soldiers so I didn't you know back when
it was film I can see why 1 hour photo was impressive but now that they're just
printing them is that really an achievement so I'm looking for SPF 50
and there's not a whole lot of options there's a lot of spray on ones there's a
lot of like for babies and for kids and then there's like this one for
$13 or I can buy Hello Kitty for N9 I
got one of those left and I think that's what we're
doing and now I'm running late of course I'm Vlogging about it
forgot my credit card so I had to go
back again for my Hello Kitty
sunscreen directions oh know this is
great ingredients there like two things in it purpose sunscreen love
it just in case I didn't know that purpose
sunscreen so I'm on the bus and uh we've
got some interesting characters here with me did did you forget we were going
somewhere no I'm going to the
water yeah think the only thing geekier than a
bunch of computer geeks there's a bunch of computer geeks in like w sa
yeah nice Al a nice sunscreen application technique you've got going
on there Demetri yeah well it's better than what you got going on I don't know
what I have it but all right so here we are I've been
informed that I'm going in a double boat they the lesson on how to operate
the paddle evidently you want it to go with the flat side into the water not
the other side so uh I think I can handle that but the part about not
leaning out of the boat I think I might have a little bit of trouble with that so uh we'll see how this goes we've been
instructed to hold on to the kelp to stay still water comes up because the
surface water is and we get really cold fridge in
water so right now our water temperature has warmed up but that cold fridge water
feeds the kelp all the nutrients so in
the summer this giant
grow wow so this kelp only grows on Rock
because we have rocks and kelp we have tons of kelp and rock fish over 50
different species so hey look at that we found a sea otter
you're not allowed to go within 50 ft of them so this is I think about it but uh
he's over there I've been assured that he's over
there there my boat's turning in the wind all
right we're drifting pretty good here okay camera goes up well evidently these
are uh not naturally white rocks those are uh those are poop
rocks
fantastic there are some harbor seals way out there can't get too close though
apparently if they come near you it's okay and there's a couple guys right
here I don't think you're going to be able to pick them up on
camera you kind of see his head there
cool so my Excursion uh ran a little
longer than I had kind of sort of thought about or expected so I'm out on
a kayak I book it back to the dock I my
my tandem kayak partner ah oh
my tandem kayak partner has to come in help me get out of the boat and he goes
out on his own and then I run back to the hotel and right as I arrive they've
sorted it out and found me a new flight so I'm not in a hurry at all so I guess
the good news is now I get to have a shower before the flight all right so my
Skin's still wet but I that's on account of having just showered not actually
being sweaty but I have a
philosophical dilemma for you guys what
is cleaner the pants that I have already
worn for 2 days or the pants that I've only been
wearing since this morning but that I was just running in okay and making the
decision even more difficult um I removed my belt and all the things from
my pockets and didn't mark which one is
which so now it's just a
crapshoot a new piece of information in
pants dilemma in the great pants LMA of
2014 these are the ones from the other couple days oh maybe it's these ones
whichever ones have a bunch of sand in the pockets from the hoola contest are
the ones from the other day so now I have to decide somewhat damp but
obviously not damp enough I could tell the difference between them but no sand
in the pockets to get into You Know Places I think I'm going to go with the
the wet ones with no sand yeah we have a
decision all right so this is it the end of the
trip I uh actually had intended to shoot
my last bit not on my phone but on the camera instead but I realized as I was
going through airport security that I had my lavalier mic in my shirt I'm like
wired up with this thing and I was like oh crap this looks weird so I quickly
threw it off I'm not going to put that back on in the airport so that's it I hope you guys enjoyed this travel blog
and uh I hope you're looking forward to whatever it is I was doing here
