Student to cover electronics show

Student to cover electronics show: "(Daily Oklahoman, The (KRT) Via Thomson Dialog NewsEdge) Jan. 6--NORMAN -- Nikki Inderlied of Norman remembers her fascination with video games from a very young age.

Bedtime for little Nikki meant Nintendo time for her parents, and she yearned to stay up for the video action.

'I could see from my bedroom her and my dad playing Mario Brothers, and I got so mad because I wanted to play,' Inderlied recalled while looking at her mother, Angela Startz.

Inderlied's interest and skill in video games has landed her in Las Vegas, where she and her mother will report on the annual Consumer Electronics Show for i4u.com, a Web site devoted to electronic gadgets and technology.

The International Consumer Electronics Show, scheduled Monday through Thursday, is an annual event at which companies reveal what's coming next in electronic technology.

Speakers this year will be Dell Computer founder Michael Dell, CBS President and Chief Executive Officer Leslie Moonves and U.S. Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez.

Inderlied, a sophomore journalism student at Oklahoma City Community College, will interview company representatives for podcasts and gabcasts -- telephone interviews uploaded onto the site." Read More
