One of the country's premier technology pundits, DAVID POGUE of the New York Times, earlier this week described CES as "One million exhibitors. Sixty million attendees. Four trillion booths spread across an area the size of Rhode Island." He obviously goes on to explain his numbers aren't the ACTUAL ones, but rather hyperbole to describe one of the world's largest trade shows. I was there --- "on the job", so to speak, seeking out things that might be of interest to tax and public accounting practitioners. And I found plenty! I have a list of over 25 different "things" (software, hardware, services, and stuff) that I'll be blogging about over the next few weeks.

I'm not really sure exactly I'm going to stretch this from "fun" all the way over to "the practice of public accounting", but maybe by the end of this post I'll have thought of a way. Rattlebox is a service providing customizable text overlays to short video clips. Think of a marriage of eCards and YouTube. You establish a free account, select a video, and then add your own text. Then Rattlebox takes over and merges your text with the video and produces a URL where your "masterpiece" is posted ... ala' YouTube.
Here's an example:
