2018 Welcomes Entrepreneurs Back to the CES on Wednesday January 10, 2018 in Sin City Las Vegas with Globe Trotting Entrepreneur Michael S Novilla

2018 Welcomes Entrepreneurs Back to the CES

2018 Welcomes Entrepreneurs Back to the CES

It’s that time again, in the first trimester of January, when the tech world descends upon Sin City, Las Vegas. “What happens here… and all that.” When people ask me why I attend the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) each year, “Spending time with the Future”, I reply. Wish I could answer with a deep, witty Haruki Murakami-ish reply. He’s a writer, truly. I’m a guy with a laptop and smartphone who loves helping others, especially my fellow entrepreneurs. Ya know, the ones who solve problems and actually make things better. Cleaner water, safer transportation, robots on Mars. Those Kats… Well, lets see what Day 1 of CES 2018 had in store for us! Oh, and fuck you flat earthers. Enough with your idiotic nonsense. You’re not helping.

Things Hotels Just Gotta Get Right by the Entrepreneur Social Club

Things Hotels Gotta Get Right

No means No! Not ‘Maybe’, nor ‘Sometimes’. It means NO!! Please. PLEASE! This hotel has gotta get it right. Please!! Please hotel peoples, listen here to things hotels gotta get right. That little sign you hang on your door must be very clear. I love the RED for “leave me the F alone!” and GREEN for “yes please come and tidy up my messes.”  Excellent hotels get this concept, like those in Japan and the Kimpton chain, for example.  Others the maids may be banging on your door just to piss you off. Because we know they are way overpaid (sarcasm alert!) for that (mostly) thankless and difficult job. See I owned, before the great crash, 100 apartments, and let me tell you, I’ve done PLENTY of cleaning. Down to the bone clean. So here’s a big

Athens Surprising Street Art Scene with Entrepreneur Social Club world traveler

Athen’s Surprising Street Art Scene

Athen’s Surprising Street Art Scene.

So I arrived late into Athens Saturday night, about 11pm, and “Tubered” to my AirBnB apartment. “Tubered” meaning using the Uber app but riding in a taxi. See many cities around the globe caved into the taxi union’s pressure and don’t allow Ubering they only allow “Tubering” with taxi (new word =Tubering). It DOES make the shitty taxi service better, less chance to sit around waiting, getting “lost” and being ripped off. (Props to all our fellow Entrepreneurs for making traveling in the 21st Century SO MUCH EASIER!! AirBnB, Uber, Expedia, Google Flights, etc. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!!) Anyhoo, so after skipping dinner, and finally getting an excellent night’s sleep (check out my previous blog’s as to why), I awoke to a spectacularly gorgeous 1st day in Athens. Time to go out sightseeing! I was having some stomach issues, likely from
