Show summary: Tune in this week if you want to hear Donald and Jasmine talk about pretty much nothing. Also, Donald huffs bourbon throughout, Jasmine rants about Lady Gaga headphones, and both try to insert a little bit of news before the holiday break. But mostly, it's nothing. Be sure to check out CNET the week of January 4 for all the CES goodness, including a live podcast broadcast at 3PM on Friday, January 8.

About me

Occupation:
Senior associate editor, MP3 and digital audio
Short bio:
I grew up in the Bay Area, so it's only natural that I work in the technology industry. Before coming to CNET in 2003, I worked at an ad agency whose client list was made up entirely of tech companies - I was doomed from the beginning! But in all seriousness, what do I think about being among a select group of people who gets to play with a bunch of neat new gadgets before the general public? It's pretty darn cool. And I can't complain about living in one of the best cities in the world. If you want to stay updated with what I'm doing for the site, you can follow me at twitter.com/WeirdEaredJas.
