Spent last night getting to know Red Note for the 1st time. Fun, fascinating and interesting so far, but as always I had to consciously pull myself away after realizing I’d burned two hours liking and scrolling.

Just interviewed Deputy CIO of the NFL Aaron Amendolia and Sony’s Neal Manowitz, who talked about the new noise canceling headsets planned for NFL coaches to wear in the 2025 season. I’m the first member of the press to try it on. Feels (and looks) a lot like my beloved WH-1000XM4’s! #CES2025
That’s it for Sony’s #CES2025 presser. This is the only press conference I attend anymore and it’s always worth it.
Also in development: a feature film based on the excellent Horizon series of games.
Sony Pictures announced that it’s developing a film based on the game Helldivers 2
Next up Crunchroll announced that an anime based on the game Ghost of Tsushima (which is superb) is in development.
