Today we looked at two electric kettles (one bad and one unreleased, the Kenwood above, which glows red when boiling); a bike that cane switch from standard to recumbent, perhaps the most wasteful disposable cutlery I’ve ever seen, a scratch-and-snif phone, an unnecessary but modestly nifty sunlight calculator for gardening, a wristwatch phone that has a industry-standard low for suck, ways to use 35mm lens on DV cameras to emulate film, a book about rocketbelts, a computer stuffed into the dismembered torso of a French maid (I am lobbying for this to become the staff machine of Boing Boing, an MP3 player shaped like a guitar with a real amp speaker, silly clothing-mounted mirrors for bikers, and Portal papercraft.
As per usual, random gadget links and deals.
Who knew there were such advanced electric tea kettles?
