			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This R2-D2 vacuum cleaner from Taito is perfect for picking up those bits of orange Cheeto dust you left all over your desktop.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-31924  aligncenter" title="r2-d2_vacuum_cleaner" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/r2-d2_vacuum_cleaner.jpg" alt="r2 d2 vacuum cleaner" width="600" height="733" /></p>
<p>The tiny handheld Artoo gets his power from your computer&#8217;s USB port and probably provides just enough suction to clean up equally tiny bits of dirt and debris. Speaking of USB power, I wonder if the universe would implode if you plugged R2 into <a href="http://technabob.com/blog/2009/08/11/r2q5-r2d2-usb-hubs/">one of these</a>.</p>
<p>Still, it&#8217;ll look really cool sitting in your cubicle. You can pre-order one over at <a href="http://www.shopncsx.com/r2d2usbcleaner.aspx">NCSX</a> now for $20.90 (USD). Unfortunately, you&#8217;ll have to wait until August to receive yours unless you can work up some Jedi mind tricks on the NCSX folks to convince them to ship one out earlier.</p>

This desktop Whac-A-Mole game lets you whack to your hearts content. Got an important conference call? Why not whack some while you&#8217;ve got your speakerphone on &#8220;mute&#8221;? Nobody will know. You can whack&#8230;]]></description>

<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-8650 aligncenter" title="desktop_whac_a_mole" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/desktop_whac_a_mole.jpg" alt="desktop whac a mole" width="520" height="357" /></p>
<p>This desktop Whac-A-Mole game lets you whack to your hearts content. Got an important conference call? Why not whack some while you&#8217;ve got your speakerphone on &#8220;mute&#8221;? Nobody will know. You can whack all day long. You know you want to.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-8652 aligncenter" title="desktop_whac_a_mole_3" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/desktop_whac_a_mole_3.jpg" alt="desktop whac a mole 3" width="520" height="385" /></p>
<p>I&#8217;ve never really understood why it&#8217;s &#8220;Whac-A-Mole&#8221; and not &#8220;WhacK-A-Mole&#8221;. Could they not afford the &#8220;K&#8221;? Maybe it saved them money on painting all of the arcade signs. Somebody probably got a bonus for that. Remember when employers handed out bonuses? Those were the days.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-8651 aligncenter" title="desktop_whac_a_mole_2" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/desktop_whac_a_mole_2.jpg" alt="desktop whac a mole 2" width="520" height="436" /></p>
<p>Unfortunately, it looks like these cute moles only speak Korean. If you do too, you can find them at the <a href="http://shop.earlyadopter.co.kr/">Early Adopter Shop</a> (search for &#8220;2774&#8243; to find them). Otherwise, you&#8217;ll have to settle for one of these <a href="http://technabob.com/blog/2007/10/01/usb-whac-a-mole-whack-it-at-your-desk/">mole-free Whack-It games</a>.</p>
