New electronic billboards tailor advertising to passing motorists.

In the film Minority Report, electronic signs greet shoppers by name and exuberantly chirp customer service speak directly to them.

This was Hollywood's spin on a technology that really is gaining speed in Sacramento, California. New electronic video billboards stand tall over freeways there, tailoring their advertisements to match the personalities of the passing motorists. Take a spin past these billboards with "Tech Live" tonight.

"Instead of a static billboard, we can have a target that moves," explains Tom Langeland, CEO of Alaris Media Networks, the operation behind the signs.

An early Christmas present arrived in the mail today. Mom'd asked for my shoe size a while ago and I gamely divulged the details; today a nice package from Land's End showed up on my doorstep, containing a pair of big warm lace-up winter boots, pair of thick woolen socks to go with the boots, and a pair of warm "shearling" slippers that look like loafers lined with wool and boy howdy are they comfortable. I put them on to make sure they fit and I haven't taken them off to try out the boots just yet.

(Don't worry, Mom said I could open 'em and wear 'em. Just wish I'd had the boots yesterday!)
