Rory Carroll is at the Consumer Electronics Show for the Guardian, taking notes and photos about the most talked-about products at the tech jamboree.
Somewhere in between writing about brainwave technology and new wireless watches produced by Pebble, Rory found time to take a look around.
A closer look at the watches, a Kickstarter creation:

(The project launched on Kickstarter with a target of raising $100,000 in a month. Instead it became a phenomenon on the crowd-funding site, raising more than $10m.)
Adventures in creative branding:

Celebrity spotting: "Does it make me a bad person to say I've no idea who Snooki is? But will investigate why he/she/it is here."

The Snooki was never found, leaving products and rappers in her wake:
