A fridge that sports a docking station just might be the coolest kitchen innovation at CES this year. Whirlpool’s Centralpark connections refrigerator is 270 pounds of stainless steel that does more than keep food cold. You can dock a tablet PC, digital photo frame or even an iPod stereo system to the door. Maybe next year I’ll see a fridge that can also tell me when my leftover casserole is going bad. Or one that knows when I’m low on milk and can generate a grocery list for me.

This thing is gotta be one of the craziest things launched at this year’s CES. A leopard skinned taser! As if there weren’t enough issues with that topic. Have you ever been tased? Tempted to buy this thing?

Plantronics is the official sponsor of the 2008 CES Blog and Podcast Lounge.  The lounge features wireless and hard line Internet, over 60 workstations, lounge space to rest and relax and a ’sound proof’ podcast room for interviews, as well as couches, tables, TVs and refreshments. 

The lounge has been a great place for bloggers and podcasters to come and have a quiet place to work and relax in the midst of the CES craziness.  Check out these pictures.
