Had a good time as part of the Loop on Attack of the Show this afternoon. Had a great discussion with Kevin, one of the hosts of Attack of the Show and Catherine Holahan from Business Week.

News.com’s Tom Krazit joins us to talk all about the announcements from Macworld.

Watch the show.

Get an eyeful of Boggs’ own Ethernet connection, from the dawn of Ethernet’s invention.

I’ve had the honor of being on a few episodes of This Week in Tech, but the latest episode was the most fun I’ve had. We got into CES of course, but also the High-def wars, and the Gizmodo prank. Great stuff.

 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.

Watch the show.

This is the stuff that really sucked this year.
