			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Some bags allow you to <a href="http://technabob.com/blog/2011/08/03/electronic-rock-guitar-bag/">strum a few tunes</a>, while others let you strap on your gadgets so you can <a href="http://technabob.com/blog/2011/09/14/powerbag-charge-carry/">charge them up as you go</a>. And then there are bags that let you indulge in your habit (which is hopefully not an addiction).</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-70455" title="baggy_winecoat_1" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/baggy_winecoat_1.jpg" alt="baggy winecoat 1" width="600" height="469" /></p>
<p><span id="more-70420"></span>The Baggy Winecoat, as this bag is called, isn&#8217;t just for wine. Fill her up with beer, soda, juice, ginger ale, and any other drink you want to take with you on the go. It&#8217;s fashioned from polyester or leatherette, and comes in five colors for you to choose from: black, red, white, lilac, and black leatherette.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-70456" title="baggy_winecoat_2" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/baggy_winecoat_2.jpg" alt="baggy winecoat 2" width="600" height="753" /></p>
<p>The Baggy Winecoat was actually designed by Jakob Wagner and can hold up to 3 liters of your poison of choice. The bottom is made from solid rubber construction, and it has a built-in spigot so you can dispense your drinks anytime and anywhere you want to. You can find the Baggy Winecoat over at <a href="http://www.scandinaviandesigncenter.com/Products/usd0/Trademark/Menu/10736/Baggy+Winecoat&amp;VariantId=01">Scandanavian Design Center</a> for about $53 (USD).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m all for recycling and eco-friendly products these days. It doesn&#8217;t help that tons of harmful wastes and pollutants are released into the air and the world&#8217;s seas every second of every day. And it really just breaks my heart whenever I see photos of sea creatures choking on pieces of plastics or polar bears stuck on a floating chunk of ice as the ice caps continue to melt because of global warming.</p>
<p>I think it sucks that animals have to pay for our human ways (and mistakes.) That said, the Eco Can is a much appreciated welcome change from all the usual polluting stuff that a lot of companies crank out these days.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-54591" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/p3097_big.jpg" alt="p3097 big" width="600" height="600" title="p3097 big photo" /><span id="more-54589"></span>The reusable Eco Can resembles those one or two aluminum ones that we guzzle every day to get our daily sugar fix, but without the added pollution: it&#8217;s made from PLA, which is a type of corn starch, so it&#8217;s also biodegradable to boot. It also features a screw top lid and a ring top style drinking lip so you can enjoy any drink the way you enjoy your regular can of soda. It&#8217;s also double-walled, so it keeps your drinks either cool or warm as you like them.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-54590" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/myecocan.jpg" alt="myecocan" width="600" height="600" title="myecocan photo" /></p>
<p>They&#8217;re available in four colors: black, red, blue, and green. Blue for water, green for grass, red for the flames for when you burn your waste, and black for the soot and remaining carbon remnants of your burnt up trash. Just sayin&#8217;. These Eco Cans are available for £12.99 (appx. $21 USD) each from <a href="http://www.firebox.com/product/3097/Eco-Can?currency_conversion=1">Firebox</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I had to figure this was going to show up sooner or later. What with the Nintendo <a href="http://www.fractalspin.com/x/product.php?productid=117">NES mints</a> and <a href="http://www.fractalspin.com/x/product.php?productid=256">Wii gum containers</a>, it was only a matter of time before the Atari 2600 got all jealous and demanded its fair shake. So here it is &#8211; the oh-so-awesome Atari 2600 controller gum container.<span id="more-19996"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-19997  aligncenter" title="atari_joystick_chewing_gum" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/atari_joystick_chewing_gum.jpg" alt="atari joystick chewing gum" width="600" height="489" /></p>
<p>There&#8217;s not much more to say, other than the fact that I need one of these. It&#8217;s probably not practical to whip this thing out of your pocket, what with that erect joystick poking it&#8217;s way out of the face of the controller. But I&#8217;d like to leave a couple of these sitting around the game room and hand them out to my buddies when we&#8217;re ready to have a retro gaming session and see how long it takes them to figure out that they&#8217;re not real controllers.</p>
<p>Want one? You&#8217;ll have to wait until late October to get one. For now, you can pre-order singles sticks over at <a href="http://www.shopncsx.com/ataricontrollergumtin.aspx">NCSX</a> for $3.89 (USD) each, or you can get a case of 12 over at <a href="http://westfieldcomics.com/comic-books/Atari-Controller-Gum-Tin-12-Count-Display/09081753">Westfield Comics</a> for$28.05.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here in Chicago, we just got started with a city-sponsored neighborhood recycling program. While they&#8217;ll collect and re-purpose much of your post-consumer waste, electronics aren&#8217;t on the pick-up list. But if you&#8217;re a gadget addict like me, you probably go through batteries like they&#8217;re going out of style. So while I can&#8217;t recycle my discarded batteries through the city, I still need a way to gather them up until I figure out a good way to recycle them around here.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-11819" title="recycle_battery_box_luckies" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/recycle_battery_box_luckies.jpg" alt="recycle battery box luckies" width="520" height="626" /></p>
<p>This clever battery recycling box by <a href="http://www.luckies.co.uk/onlinesales/product.php?product_id=266&amp;category_id=19&amp;gallery_id=52">Luckies of London</a> looks like a giant cousin to those batteries you were just about to throw in the trash. Just load up the cylindrical metal container with your deceased batteries, and once it&#8217;s filled up, head on over to your local electronics recycling center. By recycling your old dead batteries, you&#8217;ll be doing something good for the earth, as throwing them out in the regular trash can leak hazardous heavy metals into the soil as the exterior shell corrodes.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-11818 aligncenter" title="recycle_battery_boxes" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/recycle_battery_boxes.jpg" alt="recycle battery boxes" width="520" height="284" /></p>
<p>You can grab the battery recycling box over at UK gift shop <a href="http://www.prezzybox.com/products/index.aspx?pid=5314">Prezzybox</a> for £6.95 (appx. $10 USD). And wheneve you can, try and use rechargeables &#8211; you won&#8217;t have to throw them out nearly as often <img src='http://technabob.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt="icon smile" class='wp-smiley' title="icon smile photo" /> </p>
