”Bloggers Get Special Privileges, Their Own Exclusive Lounge at CES
We've done a bit more investigation into this Press vs. Blogger war that CES has started, and it turns out that the Bloggers actually have more privileges than the Press! What the hell is that about?! There's a press room for people to come and write up their stories, as shown above. Both Press and Bloggers are allowed in. It's a big, desolate space with a bunch of round tables with Ethernet cables. Pretty boring, right? Then there's the Bloggers Lounge, which is open only to Bloggers; Press is turned away at the door. Get a load of this shot we snapped inside there.

CES Separates the Wheat From the Chaff with Blogger and Press Badges
High drama at CES! Instead of all of us being united under the umbrella of "press," some of us were arbitrarily deemed "bloggers" and others "press." I'm press, but Chen is a blogger. We aren't sure exactly what the difference is, but I assume that the CES admins will force Chen to wait for me to write up stories dryly and then he'll link to them and add some sassy commentary. We refer to his badge as the "white badge of shame." Sorry Chen, you lowly blogger.

'Abdominal Etching' Provides a Six-Pack Without the Exercise
Do you want a hot set of washboard abs to impress the ladies with? Are you also much too lazy to actually do the sit-ups required to get them naturally? Good news, America! You can get "abdominal etching" done, a form of plastic surgery that gives you a six-pack without the work. For a mere $4,000 to $7,000 you too can have an awkward combo of manboobs and a six-pack to confuse and perhaps titillate the ladies. Stay tuned for a review of the procedure by our very own Jason Chen, God willing. [WSJ via Neatorama]Jason Chen Nails His 4000th Gizmodo Post
It's time to show the utmost respect for Gizmodo Senior Associate Editor Jason Chen, who slams down his 4000th post today (there's #4000, just below this one here). Jason is our most prolific writer, and brings his astonishing accuracy, elegant humor and graceful writing style to every article he posts. Starting with his first Gizmodo story on April 16, 2006 to today, the guy's rock-solid every day and an inspiration to us all. Join us in honoring JC: master poster, journalist, blogger, great person and pantsmeister extraordinaire. If we could put him down our pants, we would. Congratulations, Chen, from all your awestruck Gizmodo colleagues! [Jason Chen on Gizmodo]

iPod Miniskirt: Designed for Women and the Men Who Wear Their Clothes

Sure, you could carry a purse, but what if you don't want to carry anything around with you? Finally, there is a solution for women everywhere, as well as for Chen.

Jason Chen, Asian to the Max, Gets Interviewed
We usually like to give props when one of our own goes out of the fenced-in Gizmodo area for an interview with another news source. For example, Charlie has been interviewed by everyone and their dog. And today is Jason Chen's lucky day. The automobile blog, Jalopnik has decided to interview him. No, it isn't for his expertise on the Zune or anything else technologically related. It is for his expertise of being an Asian-American.
