Today at Boing Boing Gadgets, Mario nee Jumpman jumped over barrels thrown by a LEGOfied Donkey named Kong while the smoon ombrella did gyre and gimble in the wabe. Then we looked at a smokeless ashtray right out of Gremlins before considering Intel’s devoutly Hassidic CPU naming conventions.
A striking ad for the Palm Centro 2 was embraced then debunked. A vintage advertisement for the Atari 2600 feverishly imagined mutant flies and ion zones. Joel equated Apple’s iPhone App Store to an Alan Moore dystopia, while Brownlee advised stealing a vintage NASA Jet Propulsion Labs trailer.
There was a box full of stuff that could probably be built into a bomb and a dimpled, zen-like wash basin. A molten hemorrhoid of a program was yanked from the iTunes App Store and D-Link released some green friendly firmware for their routers.
Joel looked at the folly of vibrating alarm clocks, some electricity-conducing stretchy material perfect for the construction of robot tentacles and a turtle that can pour a perfect Black and Tan. HTC’s upcoming Google Android phone was blurrily examined. And the Olympics 2008 Opening Fireworks? Fake!
