			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>At first glance, you&#8217;d look at these pictures and think that these were some pretty cool lighting fixtures. You&#8217;d be right. But in addition to casting a warm glow, these illuminated orbs are actually speakers.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/moonlight_orb_lamp_speakers.jpg" alt="Moonlight 360 Surround Orb Speakers" /></p>
<p>Moonlight&#8217;s light globes conceal speakers which can handle from 120 to 200 watts of amplification &#8212; more than enough to pack some serious punch. The speakers project sound in a 360-degree dispersion pattern, providing sound in every direction, no matter where you might be standing.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/moonlight_orb_lamp_speakers_2.jpg" alt="Moonlight 360 Surround Orb Speakers" /></p>
<p>In addition to fluorescent light sources (behind colored filters), they&#8217;re also available with a wireless LED bulb, so they can  change colors too. Plus, the globes are made from a durable weatherproof polyethelene shell, so they can be used outdoors &#8212; even in extreme temperatures. They&#8217;re available in several different sizes, and can be made in either a floor or hanging pendant style.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/moonlight_orb_lamps_3.jpg" alt="Moonlight 360 Surround Orb Speakers" /></p>
<p>Designed for use at nightclubs, parties and special events, Moonlight doesn&#8217;t list prices <a href="http://www.moonlight-usa.info/html/360o_sound_system.html">on their website</a>, so you&#8217;ll need to contact them if you&#8217;re interested in pricing.</p>
<p><em>(Unless you want to blast your eardrums some really annoying background music, you&#8217;ll want to turn your volume down when you visit their website. You have been warned).</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/07/earth_watch_wn-1.jpg" alt="Think The Earth WN-1 Globe Watch" class="inline" align="right" />This watch uses a tiny globe to tell the time instead of conventional hour and minute hands.</p>
<p>As each hour passes, the globe gradually rotates around the North Pole, making a full revolution every 24 hours. A tiny indicator on the edge of the globe tells you what hour it is, and a little dot rotates around the globe to indicate minutes.</p>
<p>Think The Earth&#8217;s <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0001UHJ80">WN-1 Earth Watch</a> is made from a titanium body with a tough Hardlex crystal dome to protect the earth&#8217;s fragile ecosystem. The watch features a black band made from <a href="http://www.e-next-kuraray.com/html-e/comfort/sophista/sophista.html">Sophista</a>, a lightweight, durable synthetic material designed to wick the sweat away from your wrist.</p>
<p>Keep in mind that the globe is really made from a dome, and only shows the Northern hemisphere. So if you live South of the equator, maybe this isn&#8217;t for you.</p>
<p>The limited-edition watch retails for about $800, but the guys over at <a href="http://www.wristdreams.com/archives/2007/07/unique_earth_wa.html">Wrist Dreams</a> managed to find some on sale over on <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0001UHJ80">Amazon </a>for $594.</p>
