			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you&#8217;re a lover of classic video games, then you&#8217;ll probably dig this retro-style ring, made to look like a Space Invader. What I really love about it is that it&#8217;s not just a solid shape, but it actually looks like its made up of pixels.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-71796" title="space_invaders_pixel_ring_1" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/space_invaders_pixel_ring_1.jpg" alt="space invaders pixel ring 1" width="600" height="522" /></p>
<p><span id="more-71795"></span>Each one is handmade by <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/virginiemillefiori?ref=seller_info">Virginie Millefiori</a>, who creates all sorts of cool jewelry, including an entire collection of Invaders-inspired wares. In this particular case, the ring is made from gold-plated brass, then hand-enameled in white to create the pixel effect.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-71797" title="space_invaders_pixel_ring_2" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/space_invaders_pixel_ring_2.jpg" alt="space invaders pixel ring 2" width="600" height="433" /></p>
<p>While the ring in the picture above is clearly a different (non-pixellated) Invader, I couldn&#8217;t resist posting a picture of a cute girl rockin&#8217; an awesome Space Invaders ring, and showing it off for the camera.  This particular ring sells for $50 (USD) over on <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/74389091/space-invaders-pixels-art-ring">Etsy</a>, and it would look great along with a <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/77281766/space-invader-pixels-art-gold-plated">matching pendant</a>, don&#8217;t you think? You can also order them in silver-plate or different shades of enamel on request.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-71799" title="space_invaders_pixel_ring_3" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/space_invaders_pixel_ring_3.jpg" alt="space invaders pixel ring 3" width="600" height="510" /></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This certainly isn&#8217;t the first time that I&#8217;ve seen a steampunk computer design, but it&#8217;s a quick way for you to turn your machine into something that H.G. Wells himself would be proud of. Recently sighted over on eBay, here&#8217;s a set of custom-modded steampunk accessories for your PC.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2233" title="steamputer_keyboard_screen" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/steamputer_keyboard_screen.jpg" alt="steamputer keyboard screen" width="520" height="519" /></p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/photos_4_fun/sets/72157605066849397/">Steamputer</a> was inspired by an old 1920s typewriter, complete with round, old-style keys and some deliciously old-world gears under the hood.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2234" title="steampunk_pc_keys" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/steampunk_pc_keys.jpg" alt="steampunk pc keys" width="520" height="398" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2235" title="steampunk_gears" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/steampunk_gears.jpg" alt="steampunk gears" width="520" height="310" /></p>
<p>The seller is including what was once a 17-inch Dell LCD monitor, embellished with 19th century charm (gotta love those copper pipes on the sides), a matching wireless mouse, and the aforementioned keyboard.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2236" title="steamputer_lcd_screen" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/steamputer_lcd_screen.jpg" alt="steamputer lcd screen" width="520" height="477" /></p>
<p>Starting bid for the auction is a bit high at $500, especially since there&#8217;s no computer included. At least the guy who made this stuff will throw in a can of matching green enamel effect paint so you can make your PC look like it belongs.</p>
