Gadgets in the wild: Is Joel Dead Yet?; Update: Sirs, I am not

2434188409_89bc3f8338.jpg

BoingBoing Gadgets supremo Joel Johnson arrived in the woods earlier this afternoon, and reports that he is half-way to his night’s destination. Both gadgets and mental faculties remain operational. (See what he’s taking along in the checklist post)

His twitter feed is already starting to fill with short missives from the frontier:

“Crossing black river hot with sun. Man has been here.”

Indeed. The picture is from his flickr, similarly about to be loaded with proof that nowhere is free of modern life’s electromagnetic tendrils.

Update: I’m here. I have internet, although it’s not EVDO, but just 1xRTT, which is awful slow. Still, success! Here is the video to prove it.

    Coward.

    Looks like a picnic area to me. Come to Minnesota and I’ll take you to the Boundary Waters. The mosquitoes are hatching as I type and they’re hungry!

    Minnesota Sminnasota, I’m in New Jersey and before the Dyson sucked it up one of OUR state birds nearly snatched the vacuum out of my hand and beat me with it!

    What’s this? There’s a guy in the woods TOO?
    Hope he’s okay and all.

    The wolves will still be gnawing on your bones at dawn.

    Sorry, this is Off Topic, but last night I watched Me Myself Irene again and I couldn’t do but notice that Joel has a doppelganger

    Here’s the proof

    And don’t take me wrong again: this was not a homoerotic comment…
