Today at Boing Boing Gadgets

Today at Boing Boing Gadgets, we went gaga for the Peek, a minimalist email-only cellular device: read why they made it and what we thought of it.

Did you know that there were vending machines that dispense hot pizza? Now you do! Once you've had a few of those, the healing begins with FitBit, an exercise-tracking gizmo. Wear it with some new wireless headphones from Sony.

John schools us all when it comes to fashionable pipes. He also spotted a tiny hard drive; a cool finger-tracing predictive text system; and slim chips to help fight "the creeping gelatinaion of my late twenties."

Joel collided hisself some Hadrons; was shocked, just shocked at what the BlackBerry Pearl Flip turned out to be; and raided the crapvendors, as is his wont.

But he also found items of beauty, today: a new watch from Crispin Jones, amazing custom pedal cars, and the Autovolantor flying car.

Behold! Flesh of pig!
