Boing Boing Gadgets — ... Proctor Police Chief Walter Wobig described Anderson as a "super-nice guy." The cops say they'll soon put the man's cherished chair up for sale on eBay, under state forfeiture laws (auctioning it off was one option, the other was using it for official police business, LOL). If anyone can find the eBay listing once it goes live, I'd sure love to see it -- and, hey, maybe bid on it. Related articles: Proctor Journal, BBC, Duluth News Tribune, Wired.

Gizmodo — ... the seat cushion. Curb weight of vehicle is unknown, length is 52" and width is 45". This is a great parade vehicle or a terrific business draw. Be the only one in town with a unique vehicle like this. This is not a street legal vehicle. That's a lot of customization, but for the current going price of $1,525 someone oughta at least replace the missing cushion or tune up the transmission. Or at just toss in a few extra stickers, if nothing. [Ebay via Wired] ...
