This morning on TODAY I shared some of my favorite tech from this year’s CES with Kathie Lee and Hoda, including the HAPIfork that tells you when you’re eating too fast and a cover for your phone that’s hammer-proof. Seriously, I took a hammer to smartphone this morning. Check out the video to see it in action!

#MarioAtCES: Kitchens of the Future! A Wireless Blender in Action
I’m at Haier’s booth where they’ve built a kitchen counter that can power your appliances, like the very first cordless blender I demo in this video. Didn’t stick around long enough to actually try to drink whatever is in that blender though!
CES2013: A Keyboard That Can Keep You Organized?
Could a keyboard actually help keep you organized? The designers behind the MyKeyO keyboard think so, but it’s hard to say…
CES2013: Finally a Router That Isn’t Ugly (and Can Automate Your Home Too)
Most routers are ugly, and we’re stuck trying to hide them (and all the wires that go with them). But the Almond (currently available on Amazon for $79.99) is a touchscreen router that actually looks good. The new Almond+ router that debuted at CES also isn’t ugly, and it will be able to serve as a switchboard for your home automation too.
CES2013: Web-Enabled Ambient Lighting from Holi
Named Holi for the Indian Festival of Lights, these lights are like a festival in a square.

Check out how it works together with the app in the video!

MarioAtCES: The Dinner Table of the Future from Whirlpool
It’s still just a concept, but Whirpool’s got a table that can cook, keep things hot and keep things cool, all while the fam is sitting around for dinner. Watch the video to see how it works! My prediction? They’ll be on the market in three years – for a ton of money, anyway.

MarioAtCES: The Electronic HAPIfork Slows Down Your Eating
One of the biggest tech trends out there right now is toward the “quantified self,” the general term used to describe all the gadgets and apps out there for tracking your fitness, movement, calorie intake, etc. The HAPIfork is another (very specific!) example of this trend: it measure how fast you eat, giving you precise measurements of time between bites and how long your meal takes. Sounds crazy right? Check out the video above for a demo, because the HAPIfork is really real.
