Recently at Boing Boing Gadgets, we got our hands on Sony's all-in-one JS desktop and the new MacBooks: they're less serviceable than ever.

There was a super-skinny external Blu-ray drive; a plushie Mickey Mouse Transformer; laser-etched coffee beans; and an excellent space-suit crafted for a short movie.

John is intrigued by Lumix's tiny cameras with interchangeable lenses, Samsung's digital picture frames that work as mini-monitors too, and a Wiimote-enabled whammy bar. He rejoiced at RPG masterpiece Mother 3's fan-created English language pack.

Joel found a fantastic military surplus online store; an easy-to-read set of digital scales; a gorgeous USB interface for guitarists; and an amusing fake ad for a handheld microwave flashlight.

Rob watched shadow-trees grow from his flesh; found an automatic accordion; read about face rashes caused by the nickel in cell phones; spotted an RPG in a pedometer; and couldn't stop laughing at Cat vs. Blender Defender.

There was an OLED cellphone design; updates on Snow Leopard; a hideous wood-print optical mouse; the 2010 Toyota Prius; and a cocktail MAME cabinet that nearly—nearly—looks good enough for a genteel living room.
