Just got back from the Consumer Electronics Show 2008 where we were runnin’ and gunnin’ all week long. Didn’t have a chance to update the blog here as I went, unfortunately. So I collected links to most of the videos I did right here.

A few quotes of mine appeared in a recent Christian Science Monitor article on printer ink.
“What I’ve found over the past few years is that ink itself is a very good commodity to be in,” says Tom Merritt, executive editor of CNET, a technology news and reviews website based in San Francisco.
“I tried one of the home kits,” says Mr. Merritt. “But it just turned into a sloppy mess. I’ll probably not use them again.”
“I’ve found that if you just pop them out and put the cartridge back in as if it were new, you can usually trick the printer into using the same one,” says CNET’s Merritt. “Or, if you really do a lot of printing, consider a laser printer.”

Molly Wood and I got the honor of being cast in the final episode of the long-running hit Internet show “Snowmen Hunters” which I am very sad to see go. It was a blast, and I really want to thank Chris for letting us participate. Plus I don’t think it’s too surprising that after having us in it, they’ve decided never to make another episode again.
Watch the episode entitled “You’re ice cubes BITCH!!!“
Brian and I try a holiday special in the style of Como, Crosby and Hope. We have cheer, drinks, and special guests with a look at the tech coming at us in 2008.
This is the stuff that really sucked this year.
I was really excited and flattered to hear the folks at NPR’s Talk of the Nation wanted me to appear on their Science Friday show. I was on today talking with Ira about my Top 5 2008 tech predictions.
Here’s a link to the writeup on their website. The audio is there too.
Just got back form a fun segment about cheap tech stocking0-stuffers on ABC-7’s View from the Bay in San Francisco. We talked about the Shuffle, V-Moda Vibe headphones, and a few others.
They’ll have the video up soon at their site, here.
I’m sorry, but what else could I call it? Hammer stopped by to visitwith us about his newwebsite DanceJam.
These are the highest ratings we gave to any products this year.
