Today at Boing Boing Gadgets, we admired Tim Knowles’ Spy Box art project; pondered how best to survive the zombicaust; caged our pets in the highest fashion; and saw a whisteblower ride the red ring of death right into the unemployment line.
Joel wrote a great flash fiction about his adventures in supermarkets (there’s a self-sanitizing grocery cart out), groomed his nethers with a Hammacher Schlemmer body trimmer–I hope he never uses that Gerber Artifact multitool for said purpose–and extolled the virtues of Alan Graham’s DIY Cat Jet litterbox venting system. Check out his review of the Axe Detailer Shower Tool.
John spotted Bandai’s stunning new lite-brite-like LED board for modern times, new Wii “backup” software, and Tetris ceramic tiles that keep it real. See his ultimate bachelor kitchen trolley. As for that Hentai-slathered video card box, well, ’nuff said. Make mine an aluminum MacBook, said to be en route to stores.
Rob compiled a list of the worst things he does as a gadget blogger to keep the creative juices flowing, and spotted a Verizon cellphone ad aimed at the perfect lady. (Commenter JenJen nails it: “I don’t know if I want that phone. They don’t tell me if I can use it to manage my recipes. Help. Help.”). He also found a mysterious artifact in his basement, and loved on a beautiful and incomprehensible clock.
