Today at Boing Boing Gadgets

Today at Boing Boing Gadgets, we asked if Mike Arrington was the next Steve Jobs; helped you Change Back with our handy de-Appling guide, found benchmarks of the new OQO 2+, and wondered whether trying to rescue a Polaroid film factory was worth it.

John saw a lovely scrabble-tile computer keyboard, a robot horror show, and what can only be described as a steampunk Vader mask.

Joel spotted a wooden Vespa scooter, an SUV with machine guns, a beautiful motorcycle, and a Lego Delorean.

Mitch Altman completed his world tour of hackerspaces: read the whole series!

Rob completed his tour of the Circuit City liquidation sales and played with the new Tamagotchi Music Star.

There was a space invaders piggy bank, abandoned Soviet light houses, and "Oddage," a bizarre iPhone game.

Well if you want to get technical, the Darth Vader mask was closer to dieselpunk (early-to-mid 20th century) than steampunk. Of course, everything's "-punk" nowadays. Except ACTUAL punk, which would have to be punk-punk.
