Yesterday on Boing Boing Gadgets, we applauded Microsoft’s attempts at creating an booze detecting bar countertop, and tested it with some rotgut served in Rob’s tacky Pac-Man shot glass set.
Our thirst for alcohol temporarily satisfied, we looked to slake our thirst for violence, and fell in love with a Mac vs. PC video that was one part West Side Story, one part Reservoir Dogs.
A walking house was discovered, although it was slightly disappointing and nowhere near as arachnid-like as we’d all hoped. Beschizza liked an iPhone speaker system that looks like a Star Wars trash droid and a Bluetooth keyboard with “industrial anti-charm.” Brownlee, meanwhile, liked an attractive watch with a futuristic occulus and a pair of color changing spectacles only David Pescovitz could ever get away with wearing.
There was a stupendous set of home-made steampunk goggles and a wonderfully morbid hangman lamp. Google added WiFi geolocation to its services, and the Nintendo World Store has a hard drive Wii.
And finally, at midnight, we turned out the lights and communed with the dead with an automated Ouija board.
