<p>These Jedi bath robes are made from soft cotton velour, which is the first thing that comes to mind when I think &#8220;Jedi&#8221;. As a matter of fact, I think Old Ben Kenobi once said something like <em>&#8220;A Jedi can feel the Force flowing through his velour robe.&#8221;</em> But I could be remembering the line wrong.</p>
<p>The Jedi bath robe is available for pre-order now over at <a href="http://www.find-me-a-gift.co.uk/jedi-dressing-gowns-star-wars-bath-robes-mens-bathrobe.html">Find Me a Gift</a>, and sells for £59.99 (appx. $95 USD). Just remember not to use your lightsaber in the tub or you might electrocute yourself.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was surfing around over on Flickr this morning and stumbled onto this awesome Space Invaders shower curtain.<span id="more-20642"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-20644  aligncenter" title="space_invaders_shower_curtain" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/space_invaders_shower_curtain.jpg" alt="space_invaders_shower_curtain" width="600" height="515" /></p>
<p>It&#8217;s the perfect complement to any video game themed bathroom (you know you want one). It would look great alongside a <a href="http://technabob.com/blog/2009/09/06/question-mark-block-tissue-box/">Mario Kleenex box</a> or with <a href="http://technabob.com/blog/2007/01/21/where-does-ms-pac-man-when-she-eats-too-many-cherries/">Pac-Man tile work</a> or a <a href="http://technabob.com/blog/2009/02/20/donkey-kong-junior-shower/">Donkey Kong Junior shower</a> for instance.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, I couldn&#8217;t for the life of me figure out how to buy one. From everything I can tell, the design comes from artist Jordi Alacont for a product line called Stickwalls. But there&#8217;s no information on where to buy, how much they cost or if this was just a custom one-off. Damned invaders!</p>
<p><em>[Thanks to the wonders of Google, I got out by black light and DNA analyzer was able to do a little CSI-style detective work and dug up the following details. If you want to try and hunt down a Space Invaders shower curtain for yourself. <a href="http://www.myspace.com/stickwalls">Stickwalls</a> is based in Mexico and makes a variety of custom vinyl designs. They don't have an online shop, but can be contacted via <a href="mailto:stickwalls@hotmail.com">e-mail</a>. While you're at it, ask them about <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/galapagos/3950872091/in/set-72157610654489436/">this</a>.]<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I don&#8217;t understand the concept behind TV mirrors. Look: you either use the mirror or watch TV. You don&#8217;t see people selling a book-in-a-book do you? But as I always say, folks, it&#8217;s your money. If spending thousands of dollars on a tiny LCD screen is your thing, then Seura&#8217;s The One TV mirror might just be the one for you. That was an awful pun, I know.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-17127" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/seura-the-one-tv-mirror.jpg" alt="seura-the-one-tv-mirror" width="600" height="301" /></p>
<p>The One is a mere 1&#8243; thick, and it already comes with a mirror for easy setup. It&#8217;s a widescreen LCD TV that supports up to 1080p, with a built-in TV tuner and 25-watt speaker. Seura doesn&#8217;t have high resolution images of The One, so I suggest you take a look at the <a href="http://www.seura.com/p/news/news_type=videos">video </a>in their website for a better look &#8211; it&#8217;s in the May 2009 video. The One is priced at $3,500 (USD), more than the cost of a couple of 52-in LCD TVs, but hey, it&#8217;s in a freakin&#8217; mirror right? Right. Have your butler check out <a href="http://www.seura.com/p/products/new&amp;id=1">Seura&#8217;s website</a> for more details.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Apparently, the folks in Japan have some different ways of chilling out in the tub than what I&#8217;m familiar with. Banpresto Fruit Palette are light-up fake fruit that you float around your bathtub while you soak to help you let your mind drift. Ahhhhh&#8230; There&#8217;s nothing like some oversize plastic citrus to help you relax.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-15843 aligncenter" title="banpresto_fruit_palette" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/banpresto_fruit_palette.jpg" alt="banpresto_fruit_palette" width="600" height="509" /></p>
<p>But unlike conventional (or organic) fruit, these oversize citrus have an array of colorful LEDs that light up the segments of fruit, and project patterns onto the walls and ceiling of your bathroom.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-15844 aligncenter" title="fruit_palette_colors" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/fruit_palette_colors.jpg" alt="fruit_palette_colors" width="600" height="598" /></p>
<p>Fruit Palette fruits are available in Lemon Yellow, Pink Grapefruit and Lime Green Lime varieties, but I bet if you try and take a bite out of any of these, they&#8217;d all taste the same &#8211; like plastic.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-15845 aligncenter" title="fruit_palette" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/fruit_palette.jpg" alt="fruit_palette" width="600" height="528" /></p>
<p>So if you&#8217;re feeling particularly fruity today, the guys over at <a href="http://www.himeyashop.com/product_info.php/products_id/12688">HimeyaShop</a> have been kind enough to offer these outside of Japan for $32 (USD) a piece.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Now if you&#8217;re a regular reader of Technabob, you know that we&#8217;ve spent more than our share of time digging up cool geeky craft over on <a href="http://www.etsy.com">Etsy</a>. On a recent expedition through the massive online craft website, I came across an odd new trend &#8211; <em>Space Invaders</em> soaps.</p>
<p>Not one, not two, not three, but no less than four crafters are now making soapy versions of the  iconic retro gaming aliens.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-14037 aligncenter" title="space_invaders_soap_3" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/space_invaders_soap_3.jpg" alt="space_invaders_soap_3" width="520" height="419" /></p>
<p>Pictured above are tiny little 1&#8243; green invaders from <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=6018074">CrazyKBathandBody</a>.  And if classic green isn&#8217;t your bag, you can grab them in bright and fragrant colors like galactic grape, orbit orange, cosmic cherry and blast-off blueberry.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-14038 aligncenter" title="space_invaders_soap_4" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/space_invaders_soap_4.jpg" alt="space_invaders_soap_4" width="520" height="320" /></p>
<p>Still, none of the over 450 available fragrances smell anything like a green space alien. If you&#8217;re looking for something a little more politically correct, you might want to check out these vegan invaders from <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5111675">DirtyAssSoaps</a> (I would imagine after you use these, you should have a CleanAss, no?)</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-14036 aligncenter" title="space_invaders_soap1" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/space_invaders_soap1.jpg" alt="space_invaders_soap1" width="520" height="654" /></p>
<p>Makers of <a href="http://technabob.com/blog/2009/03/25/new-video-game-controller-soaps/">amazing video game controller soaps</a>, <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=6721867">Digitalsoaps</a> has even jumped on the <em>Invaders</em> soap bandwagon with these colorful jeweltone aliens.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-14039 aligncenter" title="space_invaders_soap_2" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/space_invaders_soap_2.jpg" alt="space_invaders_soap_2" width="520" height="390" /></p>
<p>Last but not least are <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=6793574">BunnyBubble&#8217;s</a> invaders, who come entombed inside of a clear soap bar, and feature a delightful grapefruit scent. I wonder if the invaders inside the bar survive as the clear part melts away, or if they die a slimy mushy death as you work your way through the soap.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-14040 aligncenter" title="space_invaders_soap_bar" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/space_invaders_soap_bar.jpg" alt="space_invaders_soap_bar" width="520" height="483" /></p>
<p>Of course, with thousands of new listings each day over on Etsy, you should probably just <a href="http://www.etsy.com/search_results.php?search_type=handmade&amp;search_query=space+invaders+soap">run a search</a>, and you&#8217;ll turn up new Space Invaders on your soap mission. Next up, <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=25675197">Tetris</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Looking to make a real impression the next time you have guests over? This over-the-top LED shower head will definitely get their attention when they go to hop in the shower.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-13538" title="rio_led_shower_head_2" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/rio_led_shower_head_2.jpg" alt="rio_led_shower_head_2" width="520" height="584" /></p>
<p>Crosswater&#8217;s <a href="http://www.crosswater.co.uk/productsingle.asp?BrandID=77">RIO shower head</a> is loaded with 96 computer-controlled LEDs in red, green and blue clusters so they can be mixed to create just about any color in the spectrum. Each one is focused to illuminate a powerful stream of water coming out of the 15-inch diameter shower head&#8217;s hundreds of needle-thin jets.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-13537 aligncenter" title="rio_led_shower_head_rgb" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/rio_led_shower_head_rgb.jpg" alt="rio_led_shower_head_rgb" width="520" height="435" /></p>
<p>Now while this thing looks really cool, and I&#8217;d love to take a shower under one of these, I think I&#8217;ll have to pass for now. You see, the RIO retails for the insane price of £2799 (about $4454 USD). I could probably get a entire bathroom gut-remodeled for that much coin.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;d rather keep that money you&#8217;ve been saving for junior&#8217;s college fund, you could always grab this slightly less refined LED shower head over at <a href="http://www.dpbolvw.net/click-3165705-10356324?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thinkgeek.com%2Fhomeoffice%2Flights%2Fa446%2F" target="_top">ThinkGeek</a><img src="http://www.awltovhc.com/image-3165705-10356324" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" /> for just $49.99.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here&#8217;s a great way to help chill out the next time you&#8217;re feeling stressed out.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-12552 aligncenter" title="ocean_projector_pot" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/ocean_projector_pot.jpg" alt="ocean_projector_pot" width="520" height="683" /></p>
<p>Created by Japan&#8217;s I Love New Yoku, the <a href="http://www.dreams6.com/e/products/ilovenewyoku/projectorpot.html">Projector Pot</a> (Relaxing Ocean) transports you to the open seas any time you dim the lights. Just set the Projector Pot on any surface, power it on, and turn down your lights. The 4-inch cube has a bright battery-powered LED light source that casts moving patterns that are reminiscent of water reflections off the top of a body of water.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-12553 aligncenter" title="projector_pot_ocean" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/projector_pot_ocean.jpg" alt="projector_pot_ocean" width="520" height="435" /></p>
<p>Now the bad part is that unless you live in Japan, you&#8217;ll have to wait to relax. At this point, the Projector Pot is only available in its native land (priced at ¥3990 &#8211; appx $40 USD). I&#8217;m hopeful that the guys over at <a href="http://www.audiocubes.com/advanced_search_result.php?search_in_description=1&amp;keywords=zumreed&amp;x=0&amp;y=0">Audiocubes</a> will bring these into the States, as they&#8217;re already importing other goodies from the same company. For the time being, you&#8217;ll just have to go to the real ocean.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Been dying to do over your bathroom decor with a Hitchcockian theme? Well I can think of no better place to start than with these accessories.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-9662 aligncenter" title="bloody_shower_curtain" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/bloody_shower_curtain.jpg" alt="bloody_shower_curtain" width="520" height="609" /></p>
<p>Imagine the surprise of your roommate when they wake up tomorrow morning to find this Blood Bath shower curtain hanging in place of the old one. Whether they think Anthony Perkins came back to life to stab you to death or there was a midnight zombie attack, who cares? Either way, it&#8217;s bound to provoke a reaction.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-9663 aligncenter" title="bloody_shower_curtain_2" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/bloody_shower_curtain_2.jpg" alt="bloody_shower_curtain_2" width="520" height="614" /></p>
<p>To complete the effect, be sure to mix up some Karo syrup and red food coloring and splatter some down in the drain. Maybe a few drips on the floor, leading to the toilet too. If you&#8217;d rather save yourself the mess, you could also pick up this matching bloody bath mat.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-9664 aligncenter" title="bloody_bath_mat" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/bloody_bath_mat.jpg" alt="bloody_bath_mat" width="520" height="571" /></p>
<p>The guys over at UK gift maker <a href="http://www.spinninghat.com/product/blood-bath-shower-curtain">SpinningHat</a> came up with these sick and twisted things, and I love them for it. I found the shower curtain over at <a href="http://www.paramountzone.com/blood-bath-shower-curtain.htm">ParamountZone</a> for just £8.99 (appx. $13 USD) &#8211; but there&#8217;s no word on when they&#8217;ll start stocking the matching bath mat.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Who says you can&#8217;t take your electronic gadgets in the bathtub with you? The latest in rubber duckie technology lets you steer your fine feathered friend around the tub from afar.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/rc_rubber_duckie.jpg" alt="Rubber Duckie Remote Controlled" /></p>
<p>Using a wireless RF transmitter, you can make the yellow aquatic bird tool around as you splish-splash in your bath. A pair of motorized propellers moves the little guy through the water, and let you steer duckie to the left, right, forwards or backwards. A quick 5-minute charge will give you about 15-minutes of bathtime fun. And yes, both the duck and controller are waterproof, so there&#8217;s no worries about electrocuting yourself.</p>
<p>The R/C Rubber Duck is available from <a href="http://www.iwantoneofthose.com/new-arrivals/rc-duck/index.html">I Want One of Those</a> for &pound;14.99 (appx. $26.98 USD). Quack.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here&#8217;s a unique digital media player from Japan&#8217;s Victor/JVC. It&#8217;s a completely self-contained waterproof audio system that can float in your tub.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/victor_floating_media_player.jpg" alt="Victor XA-AW33-W floating media player" /></p>
<p>When Victor&#8217;s <a href="http://www.worldlingo.com/wl/services/S1790.5/translate?wl_srclang=ja&amp;wl_trglang=en&amp;wl_rurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ideadigitalcode.com%2Fnews%2Findex.html&amp;wl_url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.jvc-victor.co.jp%2Faccessory%2Fspeaker%2Fxa-aw33%2Findex.html">XA-AQ33-W media player</a> isn&#8217;t swimming around the bathtub with you, it can head to dry dock in a stand that sits on your bedside table. The player does its job to play up to 256MB of MP3 and WMA music through a built-in amplified speaker. It&#8217;s also got LED illumination underneath, producing a cool glow of blue light. There&#8217;s even a handful of pre-installed &#8220;relaxation tunes&#8221; to help you chill out.</p>
<p>The player runs on batteries, so you can even take it out to the pool if you&#8217;d like (not that I&#8217;d ever use something that plugs into an outlet in the tub). You should get about 15 hours of play on a single set of batteries.</p>
<p>The whole thing looks a bit spacecraft-like to me, making it perfect for that outer-space themed room I know you&#8217;re just dying to decorate.</p>

<p>But this shower control doesn&#8217;t change the water temperature. Instead, it controls the volume on a compact AM/FM radio.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/07/shower_radio_2.jpg" alt="Shower Knob Waterproof Radio" /></p>
<p>The radio grips onto your shower walls with a suction cup back, and is fully waterproof. While you won&#8217;t get scalded with hot water from this thing, I take no responsibility if you turn it on and the latest song from Fergie is playing.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s available from Korea&#8217;s <a href="http://www.funshop.co.kr/vs/detail.aspx?no=0219091658">Funshop</a> for 29,800 Korean Won (about $32 bucks.)</p>

<p>The <a href="http://www.happinetrobin.com/kaden/litica/aquarain.html">AquaRain</a> is a battery-powered device that floats along the surface of your bathwater and sprays a geyser of constantly recirculating water into the air in a couple of different patterns. Add to that a set of three color-changing LEDs, and you&#8217;ve got yourself a serious light show in your tub.</p>
<p>While it might not come close to the fountains at the <a href="http://www.bellagio.com">Bellagio</a> in Las Vegas, it&#8217;s should offer enough of a display for most bathtubs. The AquaRain is available now from <a href="http://www.ncsxshop.com/cgi-bin/shop/HPN-AQRN.html">NCSX</a> for $39.</p>
