"I love quirky stuff and boy, this was the place to be"

If you’re a gadget fan like Karl then head to the South By Southwest trade show. He told the Lion what stood out to him... and his wife’s gadget rule!

Karl Venkman: I stopped by the SXSW trade show this afternoon. I overheard someone saying it was huge and packed with the latest tech and being a gadget freak it sounded like the perfect way to spend a few hours. What a mix. There’s pretty much something for everyone. VR plays a big part this year with everything from VR development to RPGs and 360 video. There’s also an awesome 8k VR ride with a 2 person motion seat which looked really cool – but I didn’t hang around – I was headed to the gadgets. I love quirky stuff and boy, this was the place to be. But here’s the deal… the wife is cool with me buying gadgets, but we have this 1-in 1-out policy. She’ll let me buy a gadget, but I gotta let one go. I love my PS4, the Alexa’s way cool, and don’t even get me started on my Dyson fan. But hey, I’ve just gotta get me some of these robotic coat hangers!
