Today at Boing Boing Gadgets

A heady day of excitement and derring do, today at Boing Boing Gadgets. The morning started off as it always does: with Steve Jobs screaming "It sucks! SUCKS! It just does!" Then we had coffee, chuckling as Beschizza read aloud to us from a Wikipedia article that contained all the best jokes about Hans Reiser killing his wife. Our toast was served without the toaster ejaculating, thank you very much.

Ready now to face the day, Brownlee was impressed with Acer's latest mini-PC and discovered a zombie crawling its way out of his garden, which he quickly decapitated with a hoe. Then he sort of dicked the morning away playing Song Summoner, a Final Fantasy Tactics clone by Square Enix for your clickwheel iPod.

Meanwhile, Beschizza commenced a flurry of posting. To be fair, his first post's title was a bit obvious, but he quickly reached his stride as he wrote about LEGO clones of the 1970s, a novelty electric chair and a wonderfully retro Sinclair's wrist calculator.

It didn't stop there: Rob discovered a grass greenness scanner, then let forth with a fire hose of useless vitriol when discovering that the word "woot" had entered the Webster Dictionary.

Other things we learned: the iPhone 3G might have a replaceable battery and Stelarc's still making some horrifying robots.
