One of the "perks" of writing about computer technology is that, from time to time, I get "sneak peek" briefings in advance of the launch of new products, as do many other journalists in the tech space. Today, I saw a bunch of new products — almost too many to count — from a very interesting source. I can't tell you who, or what the products are — they won't be announced for a while, and secrecy is part of the deal.

But I will say this: If all goes well, you'll see several of these items, I hope, in "On Computers" here in The Washington Times, and you may be as impressed as I am. If nothing else, getting the preview got me excited about the level of creativity in this industry. It's far from spent, and that's what makes this beat a lot of fun.
