John Brownkov: Today on Boing Boing Gadgets

Original: Link

5202.jpg Today on Boing Boing Gadgets , we dreamed of hordes of puppy sized robots to mow our lawns and glass ray guns for smoking spacey drugs . As a belated head nod to the fourth of July, we looked at a wonderful steampunk (read: "stimpank!") mouse while a network admin held San Francisco hostage with his own Dr. Strangelove style Doomsday Device. Joel looked at a truly beautiful laptop box . We observed the 46th birthday of satellite television and looked at a Spectrum game recreated with a hamster and a Liliputian Lolita for your virtual molestation. The EFF busted another patent abuser and OS X media centers got sexier. We also figured out the perfect way to prevent house guests from having sex on your couch: buy a fold out sofa bunk bed instead.

Joel wrote some weird (but awesome) stream-of-conscious story about a hard drive degausser. He learned that Esquire would have an e-paper cover and ejaculated his central nervous system over a range hood , of all things.

We also looked at a fake electro-cigar for cyborg cigar aficionados, and then dug into our breakfast with LEGO fork and spork. Realish news: the 360 may get Blu-Ray and the Wii gets DVD playback .Finally, Brownlee's cell phone company calls him up to tell him that they sincerely hope he'll someday find a lover . In the meantime, he's got Joel. Link
