Compubeaver (It's a computer! And a beaver!)
What has an Intel Core 2 Duo processor, a 160G hard drive, 1G RAM, buck teeth, fur, and a big fat tail?
Duh, Compubeaver! This taxidermy casemod was created by Kasey McMahon of yourpsychogirlfriend. Compubeaver boasts impressive technical specs, and can chew through logs or logfiles with equal ease.
In this episode of Boing Boing tv, we observe the critter in his native environment: a contemporary office space, with eager information workers -- and one big problem.

Special thanks to Sean Bonner, to everyone at The Groop, and to Adam Koford for the Compubeaver illustrations and "LED log" font. If you dig this video, feel free to Digg it.

Text-o-possum / Your Psycho Girlfriend
Xeni dons a tutu made of baby heads on today's Boing Boing tv: we visit the workshop of Your Psycho Girlfriend, creators of demented couture and cyborg marsupials from the future. One of those mammal-machine hybrids is the text-o-possum (we meet him around 02:27). The left rear leg of this taxidermied texter hides a bluetooth keyboard projector that shoots ASCII into the ether with red lasers. No, really.
In part two of today's episode (around 3:09), a Boing Boing operative tests out the text-o-possum's capabilities for enterprise computing in an urban business environment. A elderly lady walks up and pets text-o-possum, then all hell breaks loose. And by hell, we mean comedy.

Don't miss the second segment in today's episode, in which "Pappy" and Adam head out into the wilderness to spot cryptid tracks in the dirt. What do Sasquatch footprints taste like? You don't wanna know.

Mole Men imagined by Ape Lad / Mole Crunk
In our last episode, John Hodgman gave us a sneak peek at his next book in progress, which includes mysteries of mole men. What do they look like? We don't know, the book's not finished. But Hodgman did share some of their names with us.
Florida-based artist Adam "Ape Lad" Koford drew some of the 700 hobo names recounted in Hodgman's last book, so we asked him to imagine the mole-men for today's BBtv episode.
Next, kick back with some earthworms and Stoli, and dig the smooth underground sounds of DJ Mole-licious. This "mole crunk" track was written and rapped by BBtv segment producer Russ Gooberman, with music by BBtv associate editor Laura Lopez. What set you from, homie? 6.02 x 10^23. Lyrics and MP3 after the jump.
