			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The sharp eyes over at GameSniped spotted another rare gem at eBay. If you still have your NES console and a couple of driving or flying games, dust &#8216;em off and bid for the Video Game Super Chair controller.</p>

<p>Even though it looks like it was put together in a junkyard, eBay seller funkmutha74 swears that this is an actual product, or rather an actual prototype. And we can laugh at it&#8217;s shoddy looks all we want, but the damned thing does work!<br />

<p>With the Super Chair <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">you are</span> your butt is the controller.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I swear some of the best stuff we’ve posted here at technabob has originated from someone’s <a href="http://www.coroflot.com/public/individual_set.asp?individual_id=151979&amp;set_id=319883&amp;" target="_blank">Coroflot portfolio</a>. In this case, it’s Mexican industrial designer Gabriel Cañas&#8217; Tetris Chair, which is so amazingly gaudy that only Willy Wonka could ever hope to love it.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-22109 aligncenter" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/tetris_chair.jpg" alt="tetris chair" width="600" height="380" title="tetris chair photo" /></p>
<p>And geeks like me.<span id="more-22102"></span></p>
<p>Unfortunately, the Tetris Chair remains Gabriel’s baby for the moment, and is not readily available for purchase. According to the description on his Coroflot portfolio, the chair is comprised of five of the seven tetrominoes pieces from Tetris. Each three-dimensional block is a fiber glass unit that, loosely translated, “results in a light, showy, and resistant product.”</p>
<p>As I type this post, my arse is firmly planted on an exceedingly comfortable (and equally expensive) desk chair that I’ve grown quite accustomed to. I’m not sure I could go back to slummin’ it on hard surfaces, which is what blocks of fiber glass sound like, to me. Still, there would be a certain appropriateness to having my designated gaming chair be made up of Tetris blocks. It would be almost poetic.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have no idea what the story is behind this set of numeric keypad/calculator chairs is, but I do know I think it&#8217;s super cool!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2701" title="numeric_chair_keyboard" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/numeric_chair_keyboard.jpg" alt="numeric chair keyboard" width="520" height="432" /></p>
<p>I wish so badly that I could explain the rationale behind this or tell you whether or not it&#8217;s concept art or a commercial product, but I still haven&#8217;t learned how to read Japanese characters. (Note to self: learn how to read Japanese characters.) I can tell you that it comes from Pantograph, whose <a href="http://www.pangra.net/objet/index.html">website</a> has lots of other odd an unexplainable objects on display.</p>
<p>You&#8217;d need a pretty big living room to pull this off, since they really look their best when they&#8217;re all together in their &#8220;official&#8221; arrangement. But if you<em> did</em> pull this off, I mean, shoot. I&#8217;d totally come to your party.</p>
