Today at Boing Boing Gadgets , we bopped to the tunes of an album written on the Nintendo DS ("Music to Make Love To Your Old Pleasure Model By...") and introduced BBG's newest mascot, Humbert Humbird, to his own vacuuming robotic steed . That out of the way, Rob chugged down a pre-dawn iPhone beer , then dived right into a fascinating study of ergonomic pipettes . Once the day proper had started, Brownlee looked at a company that sells Mac clones that just doesn't know how to play dead and philosophized on the science of zip ties . NVIDIA might have a company sinking FUBAR on their hands, while Joel liked a Threadless shirt that installs cyborg plugs and ports all over your spinal column. Brownlee shed a tear for some poor schlub who is being forced to sell his collection of every NES game ever made and wondered if you could build a Flux Capacitor from LEGO-like circuit board components . Joel 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 news out with some less Jobs-centric filling. There were pet-tormenting insect bots and 12 volt USB power adapters . We found out how Apple salesmen are supposed to hypnotize you into buying an iPhone. We wondered which was the better iPhone app : ToDo or To Do? And Joel even spent all afternoon playing with iPhone apps and calling it work.
And the iPhone 3G hasn't even been released yet. Yeesh!
