			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Tokyoflash just announced a limited acetate version of the Kisai RPM, which was a reader-submitted design <a href="http://technabob.com/blog/2010/11/26/tokyoflash-kisa-rpm-watch/">turned into reality back in November</a>. Although the large blank face still looks a bit odd in my taste, at least this watch is easier to read than Tokyoflash&#8217;s usual crop.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-57450" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/053011_rg_KisaiRPMAcetate_01.jpg" alt="053011 rg KisaiRPMAcetate 01" width="600" height="454" title="053011 rg KisaiRPMAcetate 01 photo" /></p>
<p><span id="more-57446"></span>The blue LEDs on the white watch are placed the same way as on an analog clock, which makes it easy to tell the time. It&#8217;s also the first watch from Tokyoflash made out of acetate, a strong, glossy material. Each part of the watch has been hand-cut, machined, and polished. The LEDs are hidden behind smoked glass, which makes them somewhat dimmer than usual, so it&#8217;s good if you don&#8217;t like super-bright LEDs.</p>

<p>As with many Tokyoflash watches, this one is USB-rechargeable in 3.5 hours. One charge should last about a month. Each battery is good for 300 charges, so it <em>should</em> last you about 25 years.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-57451" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/053011_rg_KisaiRPMAcetate_02.jpg" alt="053011 rg KisaiRPMAcetate 02" width="600" height="450" title="053011 rg KisaiRPMAcetate 02 photo" /></p>
<p>The Kisai RPM Acetate is available from <a href="http://www.tokyoflash.com/en/watches/kisai/rpm_acetate_white">Tokyoflash</a> for $159.99 (USD).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Bubble Calendar is made of poppable bubble wrap so that you can mark time with one pop per day.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2770" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/calendar2.jpg" alt="calendar2" width="520" height="245" title="calendar2 photo" /></p>
<p>The handmade calendars come in vertical or horizontal styles and cost $29.95 for paper backing, or $49.95 for clear acetate backing. They have the days of the week, with weekends in bold face, and all major US holidays marked down.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2771" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/calendar.jpg" alt="calendar" width="519" height="184" title="calendar photo" /></p>
<p>So if you&#8217;re the type of person who changes apartments biannually just for the thrill of the bubble wrap, this might be a way to get a measured daily fix o&#8217; the pop. In my view, it certainly beats out the <a href="http://technabob.com/blog/2007/06/24/bandai-electronic-bubble-wrap-popper/">virtual bubble-popping</a> <a href="http://www.virtual-bubblewrap.com/popnow.shtml">experiences</a> that are currently available. You can buy one <a href="http://www.bubblecalendar.com/index.htm">here</a>!</p>
