My top 10 Pet Peeves for Trade Shows. You got any?

Posted by Frankie cordova on February 23, 2012 at 6:53pm 0 Comments

With the trade shows quickly approaching I figured I would get some of my trade show pet peeves out of my system.

1. I have great idea that I want to patent. Wait for it…wait for it…. the double sided printed badge. Great idea, right? Every year I get people that come up and hug me and know me by name and every year these peoples badges are flipped over and I can’t make out their name. It really becomes embarrassing when the person sees you constantly looking at his badge in hopes that some miraculous wind will come and flip the badge over and save you. I know I should make more of an effort to remember names but it’s just not happening for me. For this reason I ask the trade show guys to spend a bit more ink this year and add the names on both sides of the badge.

2. What’s up with some Taxi’s not taking…

 The FCC gives go ahead to over a dozen licenses to allow police and fire departments around the country to operate a surveillance robot called the Recon Scout. The action came over strong opposition from members of the amateur radio community, who have fought deployment of the Recon Scout at every stage.

 The size of a beer can with a wheel on each end, and a TV camera peering out. The Recon Scout is light enough for to be chucked into a third-floor window, yet survives repeated 30-foot drops onto concrete. The associated wireless hand-held controller has a joystick to drive and steer the unit, and a TV screen to show what the camera in the unit sees. The units allow users to send in “eyes” where it’s not safe for people to go. The U.S. military has been working with the device in Iraq and…

Here is a really cool app for those of you looking to get your pixel density down right.

Do you know what pixel density you need to capture a license plate? What about a face? Unlike a complex lens calculator, there is no need to understand complicated pixel densities to use this app. Just select your sensor size, resolution, and lens, let the app do the rest. You will be given the correct distance to recognize a face, read a license plate, ID a familiar person, and to detect an intruder as well as the width of your shot at the corresponding distances. No math required.

Here’s how it works:
