			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We all know that if you wore a red shirt on <em>Star Trek</em> (the original series) that your days (or minutes) were likely numbered. Maybe it&#8217;s just that working for the Security or Engineering departments on a Federation starship is more dangerous than most other jobs. But even if you&#8217;re worried about the redshirt being evaporated shortly after you put it on your couch, you&#8217;ll probably want these Star Trek uniform pillows.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-83550" title="star_trek_pillows" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/star_trek_pillows.jpg" alt="star trek pillows" width="600" height="369" /></p>
<p><span id="more-83441"></span>They might not be Federation approved, but if I were Captain, I&#8217;d have these in my chambers regardless of any Pillow Directives. These handmade pillows come in three styles: gold (for command), blue (for science), and red (for engineering). The guys over at <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/YellowBugBoutique">Yellow Bug Boutique</a>, who make these, claim that there is also a missing red security pillow which <em>&#8220;was vaporized in scene 2.&#8221;</em></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-83551" title="star_trek_pillow_2" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/star_trek_pillow_2.jpg" alt="star trek pillow 2" width="600" height="599" /></p>
<p>Each one measures 14&#8243; x 14&#8243; and is made from fleece and felt. Trekkies can head over to <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/60588389/complete-star-trek-pillow-set">Etsy</a> and beam down a set of three pillows for $100 (USD). Individual pillows will set you back $35 each, plus shipping. I wonder what shipping rates will be like once they perfect transporter technology.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Now that it&#8217;s 84 degrees and 99% humidity outside here in Chicago, it&#8217;s perfect timing for this bit of Pac-Man merch to hit stores, right? Well, maybe the guys who make this Pac-Man fleece blanket are a little off with their calendars, but if you happen to live in the Southern Hemisphere, you could be needing a warm-up soon, right?</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-56074" title="pac_man_fleece_blanket" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/pac_man_fleece_blanket.jpg" alt="pac man fleece blanket" width="600" height="594" /></p>
<p><span id="more-55910"></span>This Pac-Man raschel fleece blanket from <a href="http://www.backstagepassinc.com">Backstage Pass</a> measures about 50&#8243; x 60&#8243; and is made from polyester &#8211; which also happens to be what Pac-Man himself is made of. Trust me, I read it somewhere, I&#8217;m sure. Or maybe that was the ghosts who were made from the stuff. Or maybe I&#8217;ve just been eating too many power pills.</p>
<p>Grab the Pac-Man fleece blanket over at <a href="http://amzn.to/ii7B9H">Amazon</a> for $24.99 (USD).</p>

<p>Handmade by Catsicle, this silly-looking felt and fleece iPhone is made just for kitty. It&#8217;s loaded up with <em>&#8220;64 gigs of organic catnip,&#8221;</em> and even has a pair of dangly headphones for your cat to get tangled up in.<span id="more-29054"></span></p>
<p>Available over at <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/catsicle">Etsy</a> for $17.50 (USD), the catPhone is a bargain compared to letting your cat knock your actual iPhone 3GS onto the kitchen floor. Of course, knowing how absolutely stoned my cat gets on catnip, he&#8217;d probably rack up $500 in roaming charges on my AT&amp;T bill.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Not only is this one of the more creative Christmas projects we&#8217;ve seen around here, it&#8217;s one of the cheapest&#8211;something that may very well appeal to those of us saving up for new (electronic!) toys. Also? It&#8217;s hard to argue with <em>Star Trek</em>.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-23844" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/tb-startrekstocking.jpg" alt="tb startrekstocking" width="600" height="436" title="tb startrekstocking photo" /></p>
<p>Thanks to the use of a free pattern, <a href="http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=329502.msg3804412#msg3804412">Craftster forum member Ilia</a> was able to complete these two rockin&#8217; Federation stockings for less than five bucks. It&#8217;s even harder to argue with results like that than it is to argue with <em>Star Trek</em>.</p>
<p>However, as one other member commented&#8230; red shirt stockings just don&#8217;t seem destined for good gifts. Watch and make sure that one doesn&#8217;t end up in the fireplace or something.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sometimes you just have to warm your head, so you might as well do it in style&#8230; in <em>Legend of Zelda</em> style, at that. Link&#8217;s hats are part of the iconic character&#8217;s charm, and now you can dress your head just like perennial hero, so long as you&#8217;ve got a handful of rupees to spare.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img class="size-full wp-image-22580  aligncenter" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/tb-linkhat.jpg" alt="tb linkhat" width="600" height="900" title="tb linkhat photo" /></p>
<p>Of course, if you prefer a different shade of green or perhaps a nice red, no worries&#8211;there&#8217;s a fleece hat for all tastes, so long as those tastes involve Nintendo characters. If you have to have something more absurdly elaborate, there are even <em>Kingdom Hearts</em> hats available from the <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/orgXIII">same Etsy shop</a>.</p>

<a href='http://technabob.com/blog/2009/11/06/legend-of-zelda-hats/tb-kingdomheartshat/' title='Kingdom Hearts Hat'><img width="150" height="150" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/tb-kingdomheartshat-150x150.jpg" class="attachment-thumbnail colorbox-22578 " alt="tb kingdomheartshat 150x150" title="Kingdom Hearts Hat" /></a>
<a href='http://technabob.com/blog/2009/11/06/legend-of-zelda-hats/tb-zeldahat2/' title='Zelda Hat'><img width="150" height="150" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/tb-zeldahat2-150x150.jpg" class="attachment-thumbnail colorbox-22578 " alt="tb zeldahat2 150x150" title="Zelda Hat" /></a>
<a href='http://technabob.com/blog/2009/11/06/legend-of-zelda-hats/tb-redzeldahat/' title='Red Zelda Hat'><img width="150" height="150" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/tb-redzeldahat-150x150.jpg" class="attachment-thumbnail colorbox-22578 " alt="tb redzeldahat 150x150" title="Red Zelda Hat" /></a>
<a href='http://technabob.com/blog/2009/11/06/legend-of-zelda-hats/tb-linkhat/' title='Zelda Link Hat'><img width="150" height="150" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/tb-linkhat-150x150.jpg" class="attachment-thumbnail colorbox-22578 " alt="tb linkhat 150x150" title="Zelda Link Hat" /></a>

<p>You&#8217;ll pay through the nose (head?) for one of those fancier numbers, however&#8211;that <em>Kingdom Hearts</em> hat is $50, compared to an average of $26 for the other available designs.</p>
<p>Sadly, all pointy ears sold separately.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This <em>Galaga</em> pillow is sure to liven up your bedtime by adding a touch of <em>pew pew pew!</em> to your nightly ritual.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-3075 aligncenter" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/galaga.jpg" alt="galaga" width="520" height="441" title="galaga photo" /></p>
<p>The fleece pillow is handmade by <a href="http://www.etsy.com/profile.php?user_id=5544014">CrazyOwl</a> and sports a fighter from one of the mostest awesomest video games of all time, <em>Galaga</em>. It can be yours from <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=11079811">Etsy</a> for a mere $8. Oh CrazyOwl, you should really value your time more highly. That pillow is worth at least $8.50!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-3076 aligncenter" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/galaga2.jpg" alt="galaga2" width="520" height="446" title="galaga2 photo" /></p>
<p>The pillow is &#8220;made in a smoke and pet-free home&#8221; which is good news if the last thing you ordered from Etsy was coated in cat hair and ash and triggered an anaphylactic reaction and hives. That totally happened to me. OK not really, but once I did get an Etsy purchase that smelled weirdly like Pine-Sol. Tragic but true. I&#8217;m still in therapy about it, thanks for asking.</p>
<p>P.S. If you would rather play <em>Galaga</em> than merely hug its fleecy stand-in, then you can play it in Firefox by downloading <a href="http://technabob.com/blog/2008/06/14/play-any-nes-game-for-free-in-firefox-with-firenes/">FireNes</a>, or you can go for this <a href="http://www.smiliegames.com/galaga/">janky online version</a> (amusingly called &#8220;<em>Galaca</em>.&#8221;) I don&#8217;t recommend the phony Nintendo online version because it crashed my computer like 8 times, but maybe you like to live dangerously.</p>
