			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I couldn&#8217;t make this stuff up. Filling a niche that I&#8217;m pretty sure nobody needs filled, this weird alarm clock from China is definitely not something I had on my gadget wish list.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-14375 aligncenter" title="cat_alarm_clock" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/cat_alarm_clock.jpg" alt="cat_alarm_clock" width="520" height="504" /></p>
<p>This cat-shaped alarm clock, and not only tells the time, but releases an unknown fragrance as it does its business. One can only hope it doesn&#8217;t smell like my cat&#8217;s litter box. In addition to stinkin&#8217; up the place, the cat is a speaks the time in 14 &#8220;diverse languages&#8221; &#8211; not one of them my tabby understands. There&#8217;s also a digital thermometer mode which can display the current temperature in either Centigrade or Celsius. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celsius">Last time I checked</a>, those were both the same thing. Eh, what do you expect from a stinkin <a href="http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/tetradeca-">tetradeca</a>-lingual talkin&#8217; cat?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-14376 aligncenter" title="fragrance_cat" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/fragrance_cat.jpg" alt="fragrance_cat" width="520" height="558" /></p>
<p>What I really love about this thing is that the guys who made it felt the need to patent it. So if you plan on making your own 1&#8243; lcd fragrance releasing talking cat alarm clock with temperature display, you&#8217;d better watch your ass. The holders of patent number 200930164072.X will rain down on you with the wrath of God (and an army of fragranced talking cats).</p>
<p>While you&#8217;re mulling over whether or not you want to buy Fragrance Cat, here&#8217;s some informative Engrish from the package for your enjoyment&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-14378 aligncenter" title="fragrance_cat_engrish" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/fragrance_cat_engrish.jpg" alt="fragrance_cat_engrish" width="520" height="418" /></p>
<p>Wow, it&#8217;s got high definition time. Even my Blu-ray player can&#8217;t do that. And what the heck do you think a hypnosis alarm is? Does it put you into a trance the minute you wake up? In my house, we call that the &#8220;snooze bar&#8221;. If you just absolutely have to have one of these ridiculous things by the side of your bed <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">you need help</span>, you can get your hands on one over at <a href="http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.25712">DealExtreme</a> for $7.23 (USD).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Does your closet smell like old gym socks? Is Fido stinking up the place and making you sneeze? Does somebody like onions and runny French cheese? If this sounds like your house, perhaps you could us one of these.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/magic_ball_antibac2k.jpg" alt="Antibac2k Magic Ball Air Cleaner" /></p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.antibac2k.com/prod_set.htm">Antibac2k Magic Ball</a> kills unpleasant odors, as well as removes allergens and contaminants from the air around you. The spherical gadget filters, humidifies, and disinfects stale air, and can even add a pleasant fragrance to fill your nostrils with glee. It does this all while putting on a relaxing light show with a ring of 30 green, blue and white LEDs.</p>
<p>Just pour a tiny drop of Antibac2k&#8217;s special purifying solution into water, fill it up, and it does the rest. Your nasty, stank air will be pulled in, scrubbed, cleaned and spewed back out smelling like a rose (or one of numerous other scents.) The makers of the device claim it can effectively remove dust, smoke, odors, bacteria, fungi and viruses from your airspace. A single Magic Ball can clean the air in rooms up to about 350-square feet.</p>
<p>So if you need to clean up your act, you can pick one up online from <a href="http://www.b-eshop.com/shopping/product.php?pcode=214&amp;catid=18&amp;currPg=3">b-eshop</a> for HKD 1,680 (about $216 USD.) The manufacturer claims to distribute these all over the globe, but I couldn&#8217;t find any for sale outside of Asia.</p>
