			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Winter is just around the corner &#8211; in places that get winter &#8211; so I&#8217;m sure that fireplaces and bonfires are being fired up everywhere. Wherever winter comes. So with all the fire some people see, I can understand why some of you might be tired of plain old red flame. You might be thinking,&#8221;Is there something out there that could spice up my boring old flame? Something that might be called, I don&#8217;t know&#8230; Mystical Fire? Can that something add colors like blue and green to my flame making it appear like the picture below?&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5596" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/fire1.jpg" alt="Colored Fire Powder" width="520" height="520" /></p>
<p>And then you think, &#8220;Yes, yes&#8230; and this Mystical Fire should be in powder form, so I could just sprinkle 1 to 3 packages on any outdoor/indoor wood burning fire, and so I can use it not only for camping and for luring my brother into the fireplace but also as props for Friday night D&amp;D&#8217;s. Also, I think they should come in 25 gram sachets. Not 26 grams. 25. Because 25 grams is the right amount to create fires like the one below.&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5597" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/fire2.jpg" alt="Mystical Colored Fire Powder" width="520" height="520" /></p>
<p>Finally you think, &#8220;If such a Mystical Fire powder should exist, it would be really nice if it sells for like&#8230; £1.49 (appx. $2.29 USD). Over at Boy&#8217;s Stuff. Man. it sure would be nice if there really was some Mystical Fire powder.&#8221;</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s where I come in, and say &#8220;You there, red flame hater! You crazy psychic! Call me if you begin thinking of the numbers that a winning lottery ticket would have.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Just in time for that Halloween fog machine, this strange looking contraption will let you make as much dry ice as you want. Just add a canister of compressed liquid CO<sub>2</sub>, and it&#8217;ll do the rest.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/09/dry_ice_maker.jpg" alt="Portable Dry Ice Maker" /></p>
<p>The Portable Dry Ice Maker can crank out a one-pound block of dry ice in less than a minute. For those of you who don&#8217;t know about dry ice, it&#8217;s a super-cold ice that chills out at a teeth-chattering negative 109.3° F (-78.5° C). Although its practical use is to keep food and drinks cool for long journeys, it&#8217;s best known among the geek set for the awesome low-hanging fog that it produces when immersed in warm water.</p>
<p>So if you need to freeze a lot of stuff, or are just looking for that cool fog effect, you can pick one up form <a href="http://www.hammacher.com/publish/74614.asp">Hammacher Schlemmer</a> for $499.95.</p>
