Benjamin Rockwell and the rest of the team frequently travel away from the studio, to speak before various user groups, bring new information including live coverage, or to just create a new experience. Frequently these upcoming items can sometimes be found here. Think of these as “reasons to listen” to specific weeks shows, give you an update on this weeks show, and let you know what’s in store for you on any given week. Special events, like live appearances will also show up on this page, as well as the upcoming coverage that blows you out of the water!
LA Computer Fair
Benjamin Rockwell – Appearing at the L.A. Computer Fair for a Q&A session
Benjamin Rockwell, the host of the syndicated broadcast radio program, Computer Talk Radio, will be appearing at the Los Angeles Computer Fair on May 5th in Caron, California.
The Los Angeles Computer Fair has been a favorite speaking location for Benjamin Rockwell over the past few years, and you can meet him, talk with him, and ask him your computer questions. Benjamin plans on answering questions one-on-one, and spending time with everyone who would like. From computer news topics and predictions to fixing your computer… he’ll discuss it all. Check the LA Computer Fair website for information on the location.
CES 2012
UPDATE (Feb 1, 2012): CES 2012 was awesome! The audio went out to the stations, but we ran into all kinds of problems with life. My hard drive crashed, then the website was hacked, and well, I’m playing catchup. We will be interviewing some of the other folks that we saw at the show, and invite you to stay tuned to Computer Talk Radio for more exciting computer information!

CES 2012 is headed towards us very quickly. Taking place in early January, in the small little town of Las Vegas, Nevada, this simple little show represents a muted, almost reverent respect for the simplicity of computers and technology… oh… yeah. Sarcasm needs to be noted a different way…
Allow me to make some minor corrections here:
- Las Vegas, Nevada… more lightbulbs, LED screens, attractions, distractions, shows, explosions, stunts, gambling, and insanity than one could ever imagine. It’s not a small town… picture Times Square in New York City, except that all of Las Vegas is like that.
- CES… Not a simple show, but rather, the Consumer Electronics Show is the biggest event in computers every year in the United States. Actually, it’s the biggest convention in the country, and one of the biggest in the world. Folks from a variety of other countries come to Las Vegas to report on it, to demonstrate their products, and to give a reason why they need to go on vacation more often.
- Reverent… heheheh… there is more hype at CES than you’d find in a circus tent full of circus ringmasters, used car salesmen, and politicians (although some would find the last two to be the same).
Website Of The Week
WotW, or Website Of The Week, is a new feature which we are adding to Computer Talk Radio…
THIS WEEK!!!
Yeah, Benjamin has been slaving to create a bunch of different suggested Websites Of The Week to roll out a new item that is primarily for the website, and visitors to the website. Every Tuesday, including this Tuesday, a new post will go up that will cover just enough details to entice you to discover a new website. Occassionally, some of the other folks will get in on the act, and will suggest some of their favorites, and we wish to encourage you to join in as well.
If you have a website for consideration, use the Contacts tab at the top of each page, and let Benjamin and the team know! If it’s original, and we use your website suggestion on the website and air… YEP, that’s right… you’ll get something from the grab box. How is that for cool!!!
E3 Expo
As Benny Rockwell so fondly refers to E3, it’s an exercise in redundancy and repetitiveness, if only for the fact that E3 stands for the Electronic and Entertainment Expo, and yet we call it the E3 Expo, so it’s the Electronic and Entertainment Expo Expo…
So, needless to say, Benny, our fearless Youth and Gaming Expert, will be venturing forth to E3 to check out the latest in games, gaming technologies, and entertainment via our computers. He’ll be accompanied by Deb Shadovitz, and the intrepid leader of our awesome bunch, Benjamin Rockwell, as they go to the Los Angeles Convention Center for the biggest computer game convention in the world. Steve Keske will be joining in the fun as well on the show!
Look for the show to air on your local stations, between June 11 and 17, and the podcast shortly thereafter.
Appearing live…
Benjamin Rockwell
Watch for Benjamin, wearing the glasses, answering questions, and just hanging out and having fun.
