Today on Boing Boing Gadgets Rob built this GPS Map art generator which allows you to create your own questionable route like the recent hoax. (Pictured here: my version of Boing Boing's Jackhammer Jill on the surface of Mars. I did this all in one breath. I blacked out a little towards the beginning.)
We also looked at platform shoes with Game Boys inside; a trio of pedal-powered vehicles, including an ATV; wrenches shaped like hands; iLounge's new iPod and iPhone guide; my delicious oversized bottom and how you can have one, too; retro AM radio headgear with dual antennas; a fold-up solar panel that recharges AA batteries; and a digital picture frame that can also be used as a secondary display. (Finally!)
We questioned if the new mini-notebook computers were getting too expensive; wondered where we'll get desktop golf toys and die-cast Ferrari now that Sharper Image is closing its doors; saw the cutest camera flash for the too-hip-for-CMOS Diana+; discovered an antique stoplight even more functional than our modern ones; saw the birth of the Egyptpunk casemod (someone better get on Punkpunk right now); noticed that T-Mobile spied on journalists in Germany; saw a company slopping fake fuel additive pills run out of gas in Australia; and took a deep, warm look at gadgets that can go inside of you.
And then skimmed the cream off the deals sites, since we're all depressingly skinflint. We also swapped links with our favorite PC gaming blog Rock, Paper, Shotgun, because they are fantastic.
