			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>How cool would it be to live for a few days in a volcano? I&#8217;m not talking about the real ones because that would just be a literal death wish. What I&#8217;m talking about is the <a href="http://www.huilohuilo.com/alojamiento/montana-magica-lodge">Montana Magica Lodge</a> in Huilo Huilo, Chile that&#8217;s built to look like a true-blue, albeit miniature volcano.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-87667" title="montana_magicka_volcano_hotel_1a" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/montana_magicka_volcano_hotel_1a.jpg" alt="montana magicka volcano hotel 1a" width="600" height="520" /></p>
<p><span id="more-87549"></span>The volcano hotel, which is located right smack in the middle of the 300,000-acre Biological Reserve of Huilo Huilo in southern Chile, has only 12 rooms though, so I imagine trying to book a room will take a while.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-87665" title="montana_magicka_volcano_hotel_2" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/montana_magicka_volcano_hotel_2.jpg" alt="montana magicka volcano hotel 2" width="600" height="461" /></p>
<p>The coolest thing about the hotel is its once-a-day volcano &#8220;eruption,&#8221; which will send cascades of water down its walls and down the windows of the hotel rooms. Sure it&#8217;s not as fiery as the volcano at Las Vegas&#8217; <a href="http://youtu.be/Y75yYIFGdkc">Mirage hotel</a>, but then again, it&#8217;s not nearly as crowded.</p>
<p><iframe width="620" height="379" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/W9jAgS5Ilos?fs=1&#038;feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>The Montana Magica Lodge was built with an eco-friendly theme in mind, using local wood from the community. The design is also on the playful side, if that much isn&#8217;t clear already, as hotel guests have to cross the hotel monkey bridge to get inside.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In a not-too-obvious attempt to avoid a cease and desist letter from Taito&#8217;s copyright attorneys, these fun video game inspired lamps go by the nom de plume &#8220;Space Intruderz&#8221;, rather than the &#8220;Invaders&#8221; moniker more befitting these pixelated luminaires.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2442" title="space_intruderz_lamps" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/space_intruderz_lamps.jpg" alt="space intruderz lamps" width="520" height="388" /></p>
<p>But what&#8217;s in a name, really? Even if you are a stickler for factory-authorized products, these lamps are just too cool to pass up if you&#8217;ve got a serious retro-gaming obsession like me.</p>
<p>Space Intruderz are the brainchild of Yensen Páez and Chilean design shop <a href="http://www.unisonideastudio.com/">Unison Idea Studio</a>. And while it was difficult to find any details on where to purchase these lamps, a little bird told me they retail for around 23,500 Chilean Pesos (just under $48 bucks each). For more information on ordering, you&#8217;ll have to reach out to Unison <a href="mailto:nfo@unisonideastudio.com">via e-mail</a>.</p>
