Firstly I hope that everyone has had a great Christmas, and made the most of the holiday period.

As we go into what looks like being a worldwide recession, lets hope this year isn't all doom and gloom for the tech industry. As CES 2009 kicks off on the 7th, we should get a glimpse of what is to come, and see which gadget / technology will have the impact that the iPhone 3G had on 2008.

On a football note, it's great to see Liverpool up there leading the way as we turn into the new year. I just hope those few draws earlier in the season don't come back to haunt us!

I wish you all the best for 2009!
