<p>The shiny, sparkly car has been outfitted with with mirrored plates strategically placed along its surface. Adding to the disco effect is a professional DJ sound system with a 15-inch bass-reflex subwoofer, 2-channel mixer and a pair of <a href="http://www.numark.com/ndx800">Numark NDX 800 </a>digital MP3/CD/USB media controllers to get your beats on.<span id="more-41069"></span></p>

<p>Under the hood, the iQ Disco isn&#8217;t quite as impressive, sporting a diminutive 1.33-liter, 98 horsepower engine. But who needs power, when you&#8217;ve got sound, and a car that looks like a traveling disco ball, right?</p>

<p>I haven&#8217;t been able to find out much information about it, but it certainly looks cool. I wonder what it looks like when lasers and lights are reflecting off its mirror surface.</p>
<p>Kind of strange calling Darth Vader a villain, when the whole series is about him. Ah well, makes me want to watch <em>Revenge of the Sith</em> again, preceded by the original trilogy.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Celebrity Lamp by <a href="http://www.deeplymadlyliving.com/">Deeply Madly Living</a> is made from 40 pairs of Aviator sunglasses, and brings a touch of our paparazzified culture into your living room.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2392" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/celebritylamp.jpg" alt="celebritylamp" width="520" height="339" title="celebritylamp photo" /></p>
<p>Attention to detail is what makes this lamp stand out. My favorite bit has got to be the true-to-form temple switch mechanism. Furthermore, because the sunglasses are mirrored, it casts nifty disco ball-esque shadows on your wall. But why didn&#8217;t they think to add a rotating mechanism to take advantage of that?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2393" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/celebritylamp2.jpg" alt="celebritylamp2" width="500" height="331" title="celebritylamp2 photo" /></p>
<p>The lamp was originally created as a way to repurpose old Aviator glasses, but unfortunately now that it&#8217;s in mass production mode, the makers have thrown the recycling bit under the bus and just make them out of all brand-new parts. I&#8217;m not sure I understand the economics here, but I can&#8217;t quite see how taking a couple dozen cheap pairs of sunglasses and adding a lightbulb = $1,600, but I guess they are marking it up for originality and detailed execution.</p>

<p>You can buy one <a href="http://www.deeplymadlyliving.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=9_18&amp;products_id=59#very_top">here</a>- and it might please you to know that both American and European voltage versions are available.</p>
