			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Looking to accessorize with a bracelet that&#8217;s not loaded with hearts and cute little charms like hearts and shiny gems? Then look no further than this charm bracelet, bedecked with tiny little weapons.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-94237" title="killer_charm_bracelet" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/killer_charm_bracelet.jpg" alt="killer charm bracelet" width="600" height="332" /></p>
<p><span id="more-94033"></span>Created in Northern Ireland by jewelry artist William White, the <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/88086034/charm-bracelet-solid-silver-gun-chainsaw  ">Killer Charm Bracelet</a> comes with a Walther PPK, a hand grenade, hatchet, monkey wrench, a cleaver and a chainsaw. The deadly sterling silver charms sort of remind me of the game pieces from <em>Clue</em> &#8211; except there&#8217;s no tiny noose or candlestick here. What makes this bracelet really cool is that thanks to its deadly charms, it could be worn by either a girl or a guy too. Personally, I&#8217;ve never worn a bracelet, but I might start with this one.</p>
<p>If the $230 to $300(USD) bracelet is too much for your wallet, be sure to check out <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/williamwhite">William&#8217;s Etsy shop</a>, where you can also find individual weapons on necklaces or earings for $50 to $80 each.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Everything&#8217;s all about your mood and social networking these days. Remember the <a href="http://technabob.com/blog/2011/11/24/iphone-mood-ring/">heat-sensitive iPhone backing</a> that turns your smartphone into a sort-of giant mood <del>ring</del> phone? Or that <a href="http://technabob.com/blog/2011/08/13/jell-o-pudding-face-weird/">creepy Jell-O ad campaign</a> with the giant face billboard that smiled or frowned based on the moods of people in Twitterverse?</p>
<p><span id="more-76289"></span>Now take everything a notch further with your very own personal mood detector and tweeter with the Q-Sensor Bracelet.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-76317" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Q-Sensor-Bracelet.jpg" alt="Q Sensor Bracelet" width="600" height="424" title="Q Sensor Bracelet photo" /></p>
<p>So what makes the <a href="http://www.affectiva.com/q-sensor/">Q-Sensor</a> by Affectiva any different from all those other self-proclaimed mood-detecting products? Well, for one, it makes use of sensors that measure your galvanic skin response, an indicator of your physiological or psychological arousal (and also what supposed &#8220;lie detectors&#8221; measure.). It also keeps tabs on the electrical conductance of your skin, which changes with varying moisture levels on your skin (sweaty, much?)</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-76319" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Q2_web_4.jpg" alt="Q2 web 4" width="600" height="344" title="Q2 web 4 photo" /></p>
<p>Aside from that, the Q-Sensor also measures your temperature and overall movement, and inputs all this information into pre-installed software to determine your mood. And if you want it to, it will Tweet your mood.</p>
<p>Sounds pretty cool, right? The only downside is the $2,000 pricetag that comes with it. Of course, Affectiva doesn&#8217;t intend this as a consumer gadget &#8211; it&#8217;s actually targeted at medical and research environments, where the cost shouldn&#8217;t be such a factor.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My daughter has a bunch of these bracelets that she wears around that look like plain rubber bands when she puts them on. When you take them off, they look like all sorts of stuff like animals or food. The idea is that she and her friends can trade them amongst each other. Since I am raising her using the geek rearing method, I have run across some bracelets she has to have.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-37911  aligncenter" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/stretchbrace-tb.jpg" alt="stretchbrace tb" width="600" height="600" title="stretchbrace tb photo" /></p>
<p><span id="more-37910"></span></p>
<p>They&#8217;re from a company called <a href="http://www.stretchyshapes.com/collections/frontpage/products/gadgets-24-pack">Stretchy Shapes</a> and come in a 24-pack. They look like any other toy bracelets when they are on the hand. They are tie-dyed in black and white colors. When they are taken off, the bracelets look like the outlines of various gadgets.</p>
<p>There are mobile phone shapes, tablet shapes, MP3 player shapes, speaker shapes, cameras, and even a laptop shape. The tablet and laptop version are larger than the rest. You can get a package of them for $5.99 (USD), but be warned I have been shot in the eye with these things on a few occasions.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Just because you didn&#8217;t buy that <a href="http://technabob.com/blog/2009/12/03/pac-man-watch-clubnamco/">Pac-Man watch</a> doesn&#8217;t mean that you can&#8217;t have him dangling around on your wrist anyhow. Here&#8217;s another way to keep Pac-Man on your wrist, and for a lot less money to boot.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-25436  aligncenter" title="pac_man_bracelet" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/pac_man_bracelet.jpg" alt="pac man bracelet" width="600" height="743" /></p>
<p>Handmade by ParAmour Designs, this Pac-Man and ghosts &#8220;Clearly Pac-Man&#8221; bracelet features the likenesses of the yellow dot-gobbler and his four ghostly nemeses wrapped around in a never-ending circular maze. And with no power pills, those ghosts are sure to catch up with you really fast. The bracelet design was hand-drawn as a vector image, then screened onto acetate and layered into durable clear resin &#8211; which, coincidentally, is <em>exactly</em> how the original arcade machine worked. I read that somewhere, I&#8217;m sure of it.</p>
<p>The Clearly Pac-Man bracelet is available over at <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/ParAmourDesign">ParAmour&#8217;s Etsy shop</a> for $25 (USD). It&#8217;s either that or 100 games of Pac-Man if you can still find an arcade anywhere. Decisions, decisions.</p>

<p>But beneath the surface of this sparkly bejeweled bracelet is a hidden USB flash drive. The connector hinges neatly out of the side of the bracelet when you&#8217;re ready to jack it into your computer.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-12156 aligncenter" title="hidden_usb_bracelet" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/hidden_usb_bracelet.jpg" alt="hidden usb bracelet" width="520" height="427" /></p>
<p>And while all those jewels might make it look expensive, it&#8217;s actually just cheap costume jewelry fashioned from stainless steel (or possibly aluminum) and rhinestones.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;">Retro gamer girls &#8211; here&#8217;s a fun accessory that lets you wear your 8-bit fanaticism on your sleeve (or at least on your wrist).</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5241" title="tetris_bracelet_c" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/tetris_bracelet_c.jpg" alt="tetris bracelet c" width="520" height="405" /></p>
<p>This handmade Tetris resin bracelet is embellished with a scene from the classic block-stacking puzzler. Created by Warsaw artist <a href="http://www.iqons.com/sylwia+calus">Sylwia Calus</a> (a.k.a. &#8220;Sisicata&#8221;), its painstakingly detailed with tiny colorful bricks, infused into a clear resin cuff.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5242" title="tetris_bracelet_b" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/tetris_bracelet_b.jpg" alt="tetris bracelet b" width="520" height="390" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Unfortunately, it looks like somebody didn&#8217;t do a very good job fitting all the blocks together, so the game is already over. I know you would have done much better. If only this cuff had an LCD screen and tiny little joystick on it, you&#8217;d show &#8216;em!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5243" title="tetris_bracelet_a" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/tetris_bracelet_a.jpg" alt="tetris bracelet a" width="520" height="561" /></p>
<p>You can find the Tetris bracelet and many of Sylwia&#8217;s other accessories over on her <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5133712">Etsy shop</a> for $70 USD.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>These LED watches may be brand new, but they draw at least some of their inspiration from those tacky 1980s <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qdMvCBgbutM">slap bracelets</a>. You know, those stupid flexible wristbands covered in leopard prints or zebra stripes that came flat, but you had to slap onto your wrist to wear.</p>

<p>The Time-It series of watches is designed for active types, wrapped in a flexible waterproof silicone case that snaps to curl around your wrist just like those wacky relics from the days of big shoulder pads and even bigger hair. So just how do you tell time on these oddities? Simply glance at the LED dots when the watch lights up. The top row is numbered from 0 to 11 to indicate hours, while the bottom row displays minutes.</p>

<p>Strangely enough, this is the first watch that I&#8217;ve seen that requires regular charging. When you remove the watch, you&#8217;ll need to place it in its &#8220;magic case&#8221; (also known as a charging base), and it&#8217;ll hold anywhere from one day&#8217;s to two weeks&#8217; worth of juice, depending on usage.</p>
<p>At $189 each, they&#8217;re a bit on the pricey side, but if you&#8217;re looking for a really offbeat watch design, look no further. You can find the entire collection over at the <a href="http://ledwatchstop.com/store/timeit-unique-sports-watch-rechargeable-p-297.html">LED Watch Stop</a>.</p>
