I got my Press Pass for CES this morning. I’m smiling to myself. I’m press. They reviewed what I’ve been writing for The Gadgets Page and decided that I’m good enough to be press. I’m a writer. I’m a reporter.

When I go to CES, I’ll have access to the press room. I’ll have access to all the keynote speeches without having to get a ticket. I’ll get to go to any sessions for free. I’ve never attended a convention as press before, so I’m excited to see if it’s different.

Most importantly, this is the first real external validation that I am a writer. I wish I had something to take a picture of and show you. I guess as soon as I get my press pass, I’ll post it. I’m just jumping up and down happy about this!
