Recently at Boing Boing Gadgets, we saw new laptops from Sony and Lenovo, a space-age travel mouse, and an apoplectic video game fan.

Joel wants to know about home automation platforms, John needs Fallout 3, badly, and Rob, well, Rob's been playing with the robots.

And what robots! Pittsburgh's BigBots mini-festival is on, so we got electric lawn-mowing sheep, strange humming cables, cellular automata woodblock creatures, and, strangest of all, a clubhouse full of cool 1980s trash, inhabited by animatronic roadkill.

Back in the tubes, we saw SenseSurface stick-on screen knobs; Dell's $300 subnote; and the bright future of experimental solar energy.

ReadyBot is ready to see you; the springy Zing! spoon is ready to fling food at you; and Art Lebedev's new keyboard won't be ready for ages. Whether Psystar is ready for Apple's inevitable lawsuit remains to be seen!
