Today on Boing Boing Gadgets

Joel Johnson 2:37 pm Mon Nov 26, 2007

Today on Boing Boing Gadgets we looked at soy milk makers, including the Soyabella model seen here, a monitor for the colorblind, software to turn your cameraphone into a webcam, a 1,000+ horsepower biofueled supercar, perhaps the worst Hello Kitty-branded product of all time, a chunky way to play old Famicom carts on a DS, a business card-sized disposable microscope, a game watch that isn't real, a phone with a place to stash your Bluetooth headset, LED jackets on the backs of pop rockers, office blinds for offices with no windows, possible upcoming varities of Mountain Dew, personalized Sharpies, a solar toothbrush being tested, and an umbrella with a flask inside. And a rather nice collection of deals. (Turns out this "Cyber Monday" fake holiday actually brought out some good bargains this year.)

Also, I am looking for an intern. If you are in NYC, have a few hours free to work on various projects, and would like to experience the sexy and stimulating world of consumer electronics blogging and journalism, drop me a paragraph about your favorite—or least favorite—gadget. (joel@b*b*.net)
