Recently on Boing Boing Gadgets we looked at my final list of stuff I’ll be taking with me into the woods tomorrow as I attempt to blog powered by the sun alone; a GPS tracking device jammer; an outdoor table with solar device recharger; an almost great plan to offer a free, nationwide internet service from the guv, sans the porn; an air jack for your car that is filled by the exhaust; the Robotron, a vintage Soviet desktop computer; Swashbot, an adorable homemade robot; a concept laptop that looks like a book; the sad, cranky history of the Motorola Razr; Rob’s lament that Verizon wants to charge him $420 in fees to get business DSL; the upcoming launch of an Intel Atom-powered Asus Eee subnotebook (hopefully increasing the battery life); Amazon Kindle is back in stock; headphones inside a headband, for sleeping; wine sold in a TetraPak; a man playing a 1973 Buchla Music Easel synth on video; a documentary about how the computer effects in Star Wars were made, circa 197x; Apple’s bizarre patent for a virtual online Apple store (which will probably never happen).
But there’s more! Rob reviewed the D-Link DSM-750 media streamer (not so great); after a crap date, I saw this interactive art piece called “I Want You to Want Me” which prevented me — barely — from writing poetry; someone made bracelets from old camera lenses; Nalgene ditched a (probably) toxic chemical from their bottles; there was a nice discussion about accessibility, web design, and blindness; a Hong Kong company made a media player with a built-in projector; Rob reviewed the Casio Exilim EX-Z80 camera. And lots more, but sheesh.
