			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s hard to hang out on these wide internets without appreciating kitschy &#8216;net-related gear, so of course this RSS pillow caught my eye. It looks nice and soft, and that icon is so homey and familiar that I almost wish I didn&#8217;t have a red sofa that would clash with this thing in an eye-shattering sort of way.</p>

<p>But we&#8217;re talking about pillows here, and at <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=6956228">Craftsquatch&#8217;s Etsy store</a>, you can get a whole passel of geeky pillows, from designs similar to the <a href="http://technabob.com/blog/2009/05/16/adobe-cs-pillows-not-photoshopped/">Adobe CS icon pillows</a> featured here before to&#8211;look!

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As I spend much of my time trolling through a million-an-one RSS feeds for news stories, I find these clever feed icon coasters kind of amusing&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-13451 aligncenter" title="rss_coasters" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/rss_coasters.jpg" alt="rss_coasters" width="520" height="390" /></p>
<p>Created by the designers over at Meninos, the set includes the familiar icons for various web syndication formats like RSS &amp; XML. Each set includes a whopping 16 coasters, so you can give one to every guest at your next party. Or maybe one for each of your blog subscribers.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-13454 aligncenter" title="rss_coasters_2" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/rss_coasters_2.jpg" alt="rss_coasters_2" width="520" height="390" /></p>
<p>Each coaster is handmade from MDF plywood and wrapped with a custom cut vinyl decal. They&#8217;re then backed with an anti-slip rubber backing and coated with a varnish to protect the finish.</p>
<p>You can grab a set of the RSS coasters over at the <a href="http://www.meninos.us/products.php?product=Internet-Set">Meninos store</a> for $60 (USD).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Icon Watch is a simple, clean design that celebrates the days of 8-bit graphics.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2737" title="icon_8bit_watch" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/icon_8bit_watch.jpg" alt="Icon 8-Bit Watch" width="520" height="322" /></p>
<p>While the watch was designed by Japanese design firm <em>&amp; design</em> back in 2005, it only recently became available for purchase at MOMA. They only sell the black and white version, but a white-on-white version is also in production, according to <a href="http://www.anddesign.jp/#works">&amp; design&#8217;s website</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2735" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/iconwatch2.jpg" alt="Icon Watch" width="520" height="410" /></p>
<p>The watch is made of an ABS and stainless steel body with a polyurethane band. Pick one up for $75 from the <a href="http://www.momastore.org/museum/moma/ProductDisplay_Icon%20Watch_10451_10001_47097_-1_11471_11474_null__6H101">MOMA store</a>. Although, with those chunky watch hands, it looks like most of your time-telling would be at best an approximation.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here&#8217;s a fun iPhone hack you&#8217;ll either really love or really hate. VistaPerfection 2.0 is a complete re-skinning kit for Apple&#8217;s wonderphone that lets it masquerade as a Windows Vista machine.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2250" title="iphone_vista" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/iphone_vista.jpg" alt="iphone vista perfection skin" width="319" height="574" /></p>
<p>While many of you will ask: why the heck would you want to go and do that? Dunno. Maybe Spec Works (the guy who made it) just wanted to prove it could be done.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2251" title="iphone_vista_2" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/iphone_vista_2.jpg" alt="iPhone Windows Vista Skin" width="520" height="398" /></p>
<p>The install comes complete with wallpapers, sliders, sound effects and over 90 Vista-themed icons for everything from the computer to the recycle bin, and all of the standard iPhone apps too. There&#8217;s even a simulated version of Vista&#8217;s Sidebar and familiar Start menu.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re ready and willing to deface your glorious chrome and glass iPhone with Microsoft&#8217;s bloatware user interface, head on over to <a href="http://www.modmyifone.com/forums/new-skins-themes-launches/160201-vistaperfection-2-0-a.html">ModMyiFone</a> for the full download and instructions. (Requires a Jailbroken iPhone, SSH access and <a href="http://www.apptapp.com/summerboard/">SummerBoard</a>).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>While many of the BlackBerry models out there are arguably more capable than Apple&#8217;s iPhone (i.e. GPS integration, not locked to AT&amp;T, etc.), most would agree that the iPhone user interface is a bit more slick. The <a href="http://rogersmj.com/tech/blackberry/bphone/">bPhone theme</a> for BlackBerry lets you have your cake and eat it too.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/bphone_blackberry.jpg" alt="bPhone Theme for Blackberry" /></p>
<p>The theme installs on BlackBerry 8700, Pearl, Curve and 8800 models, assuming you have at least OS 4.2.1 installed.</p>
<p>While the icons and interface aren&#8217;t identical to those on the iPhone, they&#8217;re similar enough to give you the same general look and feel. Even the battery and signal strength indicators are stylized versions of the iPhone UI elements. For areas where there wasn&#8217;t a clear parallel between iPhone and BlackBerry Mac OS X design standards were used (like using a beachball for the &#8220;busy&#8221; indicator).</p>
<p>Sorry, no multi-touch display or motion sensor is included.</p>
