<p><span id="more-94593"></span>These ear plugs were made by deviantART member Marcus Hermansson. For those of you interested, unfortunately he&#8217;s not interested in selling them. Maybe you can one-up him and plug actual parts from consoles into your lobes. +1 if you can fit an entire console in there.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Looking to accessorize with a bracelet that&#8217;s not loaded with hearts and cute little charms like hearts and shiny gems? Then look no further than this charm bracelet, bedecked with tiny little weapons.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-94237" title="killer_charm_bracelet" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/killer_charm_bracelet.jpg" alt="killer charm bracelet" width="600" height="332" /></p>
<p><span id="more-94033"></span>Created in Northern Ireland by jewelry artist William White, the <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/88086034/charm-bracelet-solid-silver-gun-chainsaw  ">Killer Charm Bracelet</a> comes with a Walther PPK, a hand grenade, hatchet, monkey wrench, a cleaver and a chainsaw. The deadly sterling silver charms sort of remind me of the game pieces from <em>Clue</em> &#8211; except there&#8217;s no tiny noose or candlestick here. What makes this bracelet really cool is that thanks to its deadly charms, it could be worn by either a girl or a guy too. Personally, I&#8217;ve never worn a bracelet, but I might start with this one.</p>
<p>If the $230 to $300(USD) bracelet is too much for your wallet, be sure to check out <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/williamwhite">William&#8217;s Etsy shop</a>, where you can also find individual weapons on necklaces or earings for $50 to $80 each.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Buried among the billions of Snow White and Iron Man MacBook Pro decals in the great marketplace known as Etsy, an intrepid customer may come upon a handful of small bottles with elegant caps and accents. But as with most bottles, the real treasure lies within. Tufts of feathers so crimson you&#8217;ll think they were strands of fire: the fabled Phoenix Down. They could also just be chicken feathers dyed red. Or Iron Man MacBook Pro decals ripped to shreds.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-93470" title="phoenix-down-pendants-and-charms-by-geekoutlet" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/phoenix-down-pendants-and-charms-by-geekoutlet.jpg" alt="phoenix down pendants and charms by geekoutlet" width="600" height="647" /></p>
<p><span id="more-93469"></span>Magical they are not, but these pendants and charms are powerful enough to revive your style. They&#8217;re certainly better than tent or cottage pendants.  Most of them have a winged accent and findings made of pewter, while the simpler ones have cork stoppers.</p>

<p>Summon a Chocobo and ride to Geek OUTlet&#8217;s <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/GeekOUTlet?section_id=10622346">Etsy shop</a> to buy your own Phoenix Down charms and pendants. Prices range from $12-$25 <del>(GIL)</del> (USD). If Cloud only had Internet access&#8230; then maybe Aeris wouldn&#8217;t have died.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve often wondered if having a life bar in real life would be more of a blessing or a curse. On one hand we&#8217;ll know when exactly to rest and recuperate, plus we&#8217;ll know which activities and food result in the most health boost. On the other hand finding out that you&#8217;re sick or dying when you feel otherwise is a real bummer. Thankfully this necklace has none of those implications.</p>

<p><span id="more-92159"></span>The pendant measures about 2.5&#8243; across and is made from layered black acrylic. The bar and the lettering both glow in the dark. It&#8217;s that lively.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve always had a place in my heart for the delightfully retro-tastic look of Nixie and VFD tubes. Most of the time, they turn up in clocks, or maybe an old calculator or radio. But I can honestly say this is the first time I&#8217;ve seen a Nixie tube necklace.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-91657" title="nixie_necklace" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/nixie_necklace.jpg" alt="nixie necklace" width="600" height="966" /></p>
<p><span id="more-91655"></span>Now think about this for a moment. A Nixie tube requires a high voltage to emit its bright orange glow, and you&#8217;ll be wearing this around your neck. As a matter of fact, the power supply will be sitting in very close proximity to your heart, so I suppose you could always use it as a portable defibrillator. I kid, of course &#8211; we&#8217;ve been told it&#8217;s perfectly safe. It&#8217;s actually powered by a small CR123 lithium battery, and a small switching power supply steps up the voltage to make its Russian IN-19V Nixie tube glow. Still, I wouldn&#8217;t try wearing this in the bathtub or a rainstorm.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-91656" title="nixie_necklace_t" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/nixie_necklace_t.jpg" alt="nixie necklace t" width="600" height="353" /></p>
<p>The Nixie tube itself doesn&#8217;t get hot either, so you don&#8217;t have to worry about getting burnt by it, and it&#8217;s all insulated by a nice oak wood case with acrylic panes on the face, and attached to an adjustable (15&#8243; to 30&#8243;) cord. While the photos here show the tube with a plus sign (or cross if you&#8217;re religious) on it, the switch on the side lets you choose between plus or minus signs.</p>
<p>If you like what you see, and want a necklace that none of your friends are likely to be wearing, head on over to <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/80882057/nixie-tube-necklace">Etsy</a> now, where you can grab the Nixie necklace for $94.95(USD). Be sure to swing by <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/electronico">Electronico Design&#8217;s shop</a> for more of their cool Nixie and VFD creations. I&#8217;m especially fond of the <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/96691996/dekatron-spinner-neon-night-light-blinky">Dekatron Spinner Nightlight</a>:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Diamonds are one of the rarest and most useful items in <em>Minecraft</em>. You can make the most durable tools, armor and weapons out of this precious material, but you&#8217;ll have to be well equipped and spend lots of time to mine diamond ores.</p>
<p><span id="more-89446"></span>Be sure to explain all of those things to the recipient when you give them this ring. Something tells me they might go Creeper mode on you for cheaping out and not buying an actual diamond ring. Or even Cubic Zirconia.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-89447" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/minecraft-diamond-ring.jpg" alt="minecraft diamond ring" width="600" height="450" title="minecraft diamond ring photo" /></p>
<p>You can order the Minecraft Diamond Ring from Etsy seller <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/84173736/minecraft-inspired-diamond-ring?ref=cat2_gallery_28">tinybackpack</a> for a mere $8.50 (USD). Now that&#8217;s a steal. The game&#8217;s more expensive than that.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Throughout the <em>Mass Effect</em> series, gamers have been trying to decide what decisions are best made and which are detrimental to their character. Sometimes, telling off a superior earns you more conversation options, but sometimes it just gets you in a deep pile of trash-compactor slime. These Paragon and Renegade <em>Mass Effect</em> Pendant Necklaces will let you show off what side of the line you are on: do you take the more aggressive approach, or do you stand up for what is right?</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-88915" title="mass_effect_necklaces_1" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/mass_effect_necklaces_1.jpg" alt="mass effect necklaces 1" width="600" height="400" /></p>
<p><span id="more-88744"></span>While playing the game, I&#8217;ve found that it is <em>much </em>more rewarding to always take the super aggressive, sometimes cynical route. It makes gameplay more interesting, because of the sometimes explosive reactions that you get, and often opens up better conversation options later in the game. Earning Renegade points is awesome, but what do Paragon points give you? More chances to be nice to people? Renegade is <em>where it&#8217;s at. </em>Also, McDonald&#8217;s, because their prices are <em>fantastic.</em></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-88916" title="mass_effect_necklaces_2" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/mass_effect_necklaces_2.jpg" alt="mass effect necklaces 2" width="600" height="400" /></p>
<p>These pendant necklaces are both $12(USD) and are made from laser cut acrylic, and you can get the <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/94414538/mass-effect-paragon-pendant-necklace?ref=cat1_gallery_14">Paragon Pendant</a> and <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/94413147/mass-effect-renegade-pendant-necklace">Renegade Pendant</a> on Etsy from Licketycut, who has an awesome username. Wouldn&#8217;t want to be the poor lollipop that that guy decides to lick &#8211; he must have a tongue like a razor.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-88917" title="mass_effect_necklaces_3" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/mass_effect_necklaces_3.jpg" alt="mass effect necklaces 3" width="600" height="400" /></p>
<p>If you love <em>Mass Effect</em>, then you&#8217;ll want to go check out the <a href="http://technabob.com/blog/2012/03/20/mass-effect-omni-tool-replica/">Omni-Tool Replica</a> and the <a href="http://technabob.com/blog/2012/03/06/mass-effect-3-console-vaults/">Mass Effect 3 Console Vaults</a>. If you don&#8217;t love <em>Mass Effect</em>, then you&#8217;ve obviously never played the game. <em>Or </em>you&#8217;ve played it <em>too </em>much and it ended up ruining your life and estranging all of your friends. Curse you, single-player game.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Gamer girls who have a place in their heart for the classic Nintendo Entertainment System will want to run over to Etsy right now and grab one of these necklaces, designed to look just like the iconic 8-bit controller.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-88103" title="nes_controller_necklace" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/nes_controller_necklace.jpg" alt="nes controller necklace" width="600" height="530" /></p>
<p><span id="more-88100"></span>This nifty NES controller necklace is made by <a href="http://www.licketycut.com/">LicketyCut</a> using laser cutting, engraving and painting. Each one is crafted from five pieces of acrylic, hand-assembled and then attached to a 24&#8243; chain. I really like how the A-B buttons and D-Pad are stacked on top to give it added dimension and a tactile feel.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-88102" title="nes_controller_necklace_2" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/nes_controller_necklace_2.jpg" alt="nes controller necklace 2" width="600" height="401" /></p>
<p>At just 2-1/2&#8243; (w) x 1-1/14&#8243; (h), it&#8217;s quite a bit smaller than a real controller, but that just means it&#8217;ll look better hanging around your neck. After all, if you wanted a full-size one you could just buy an old controller and attach a chain to it. This version looks a lot more refined in my opinion.</p>
<p>The NES controller necklace sells for just $25(USD) and can be found over on <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/85983092/classic-nes-controller-laser-cut-stacked">Etsy</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Whovians, check out this amazing TARDIS ring. It keeps things classy and manages to put a police box on your finger. Not that the Doctor could or would ever commit to a single companion for the rest of his long life.</p>
<p><span id="more-88031"></span><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-88044" title="tardis_ring" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/tardis_ring.jpg" alt="tardis ring" width="600" height="600" /></p>
<p>But just because the Doctor can&#8217;t commit, doesn&#8217;t mean you can&#8217;t. This is the best gift you could give your geeky other half when you pop the big question. How could they not say yes? This TARDIS ring was created by Tumblr user <a href="http://patheticperipatetic.tumblr.com/post/18990334414/i-was-bored-and-made-this-its-a-police-box-based">Pathetic Paripatetic</a> because he was bored. I wonder what sort of stuff he could achieve if he wasn&#8217;t.</p>
<blockquote>
<div>Its a Police Box based ring with a tension set 1CT Princess Cut center stone. The three round stones is the Police Box sign, the two sets of four baguettes symbolize the windows, and a small princess cut below that to symbolize the instructions found on the front of the Police Box.</div>
</blockquote>
<p>It&#8217;s an amazing piece of jewelry. I can&#8217;t imagine that anyone could top this geeky ring. Not even the Doctor himself.</p>

<p><a href="http://supermandolini.com/#/accessories/pins/">Supermandolini</a> still sells these pins for €18 (~$24(USD)) each. Unfortunately, these pins are ultimately awarded to the quick shopper – they are limited edition products and as of this writing the NES, SNES and the PS3 pins are already out of stock, so claim your medal right away.</p>

You know, the one where the knights decide to sneak inside the French castle by offering them a gift of a giant wooden rabbit &#8211; but forgetting to get inside. Now you can wear a constant reminder of this hilarious scene with these excellent Trojan rabbit cufflinks.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-85246" title="trojan_rabbit_cufflinks_1" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/trojan_rabbit_cufflinks_1.jpg" alt="trojan rabbit cufflinks 1" width="600" height="579" /></p>
<p><span id="more-85219"></span>They&#8217;re handmade by UK jewelry artist <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/chrisparry">Chris Parry</a>, and cast from sterling silver. They&#8217;re a perfect replica of the goofy looking wooden bunny/house on wheels, and will look awesome on any dress shirt, or perhaps with some medieval chain mail. The good news is that you know no tiny knights will sneak into your home if you buy them, since they&#8217;d be too stupid to remember to get inside.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-85247" title="trojan_rabbit_cufflinks_2" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/trojan_rabbit_cufflinks_2.jpg" alt="trojan rabbit cufflinks 2" width="600" height="538" /></p>
<p>If you just have to have them or if you&#8217;re looking for <em>un cadeau</em> (you know <em>a present</em>) for that Python fan in your life, you can order a pair over at <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/71798445/monty-python-trojan-rabbit-cufflinks">Etsy</a> for £160 (~$258 USD).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A quick browse of the gallery of deviantART member <a href="http://fire-redhead.deviantart.com/art/My-Engagement-Ring-179864636">Fire-Redhead</a> is enough to find out that she&#8217;s a <em>Transformers</em> fan. So you can imagine her joy when her fiancé presented her with this simple but sweet engagement ring. Although I can&#8217;t help but wonder why he chose the Decepticon logo. I suppose villains can fall in love too.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-84824" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/transformers-decepticon-engagement-ring.jpg" alt="transformers decepticon engagement ring" width="600" height="419" title="transformers decepticon engagement ring photo" /></p>
<p><span id="more-84822"></span>Fire-Redhead&#8217;s fiancé designed the ring, but it was fellow deviantART member <a href="http://theboog17.deviantart.com/art/Evil-Robot-Organization-Engagement-Ring-179548976">TheBoog17</a>, proprietor of <a href="http://www.gipsondj.com/">Gipson Diamond Jewelers</a>, who brought it to life. The ring is cast in 14k white gold and has an <del>energon</del> moissanite gemstone.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Valentine&#8217;s Day has come and gone. How did you spend yours? It&#8217;s the one day of the year where a lot of guys decide it&#8217;s high time to propose to their girlfriends. But for those who aren&#8217;t ready to take the leap, there are always promise rings. Then a notch lower than that, I believe, are these Inner Message Rings.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-84167" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Inner-Message-Ring.jpg" alt="Inner Message Ring" width="600" height="352" title="Inner Message Ring photo" /></p>
<p><span id="more-84158"></span>The name of the rings are pretty self-explanatory. Each ring has a message on the inside of the ring that will leave an imprint on the wearer&#8217;s finger. They were designed by <a href="http://www.yoonjungyun.com/">Jungyun Yoon</a>, who was inspired to make the rings based on a song a Korean singer wrote about a sunburn mark that he found on his finger after he broke up with his girlfriend and removed a ring that he had been wearing for a long time.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-84168" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Inner-Message-Ring1.jpg" alt="Inner Message Ring1" width="600" height="384" title="Inner Message Ring1 photo" /></p>
<p>There are two versions of the <a href="http://www.yoonjungyun.com/shop.htm">Inner Message Rings</a>: the sterling silver version is priced at $120 (USD), while the 14K gold version is priced at $780. They&#8217;re available with three imprints: &#8220;always&#8221;, &#8220;Marry Me&#8221; and a heart.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The road from getting engaged to when the actual &#8220;I Do&#8217;s&#8221; are said is a long and activity-filled one. I should know &#8211; not because I&#8217;m married, but because I&#8217;ve got two sisters who recently got hitched.</p>
<p><span id="more-82638"></span>In between all those dress fittings, cake tastings, and makeup trials, I must have heard countless horror stories about women getting jilted at the altar or engagements gone bad to last me a lifetime. So when I saw these <a href="http://www.kate-bauman.com/shop/jewelry/til-death-do-us-part-knuckle-duster/" target="_blank">‘Til Death Do Us Part Knuckle Dusters</a>, well, you probably already know which group of women I thought about.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-82644" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Til-Death-Do-Us-Part-Knuckle-Buster.jpg" alt="Til Death Do Us Part Knuckle Buster" width="600" height="439" title="Til Death Do Us Part Knuckle Buster photo" /></p>
<p>This tough-looking set of rings was designed by Kate Bauman and was intended to be just a one-of-a-kind statement piece back in 2006. However, the demand was huge and the interest was high, so she decided to offer these <a href="http://www.kate-bauman.com/shop/jewelry/til-death-do-us-part-knuckle-duster/">knuckle dusters for sale</a> on her site for $425(USD).</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-82645" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Til-Death-Do-Us-Part-Knuckle-Buster1.jpg" alt="Til Death Do Us Part Knuckle Buster1" width="600" height="450" title="Til Death Do Us Part Knuckle Buster1 photo" /></p>
<p>The &#8217;Til Death Do Us Part Knuckle Duster can be cast in your choice of sterling silver or brass, with a 1-carat cubic zirconia set in each of its four rings.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Looking to geek up your wardrobe? Anyone can wear these <em>Star Wars</em> Rebel Alliance and Empire cufflinks to add some flair to your fancy dress clothes. Well, anyone, but a Wookiee. I&#8217;ve never personally seen a Wookiee wearing a shirt. That goes for Ewoks too.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The <a href="http://www.geekalerts.com/zombie-friendship-necklace-set/">Zombie Brains Friendship Necklace Set</a> signifies so much more than your friendship with a fellow flesh-eater. It shows that you would be willing to give half of your brain to another zombie and take half of theirs in return. Not that it really matters, anyway &#8211; you&#8217;re both knuckleheads who don&#8217;t have girlfriends to share your Zombie Brains Friendship Necklace Set with. It is only socially acceptable for girls to have friendship necklaces with other girls &#8211; guys usually don&#8217;t do that kind of thing. Guys usually don&#8217;t have necklaces that spell B-R-A-I-N-S, though, so we might be able to make an exception.</p>
<p>Also, to the rule that you can&#8217;t wear masks at work, you can wear the <a href="http://technabob.com/blog/2011/12/22/led-anti-aging-mask/">LED Anti-Aging Mask</a>. We&#8217;re only making an exception because someone tripped on your face sag a couple of days ago, and now the company is facing lawsuits. THEY TRIPPED ON YOUR FACE SAG. How does that even happen?! But I digress.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-81971" title="zombie_brains_necklace_1" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/zombie_brains_necklace_1.jpg" alt="zombie brains necklace 1" width="600" height="620" /></p>
<p><span id="more-81803"></span>The Zombie Brains Friendship Necklace Set is from ThinkGeek, and is $30. don&#8217;t think of it as $30, think of it as buying two $15 necklaces. Because that&#8217;s exactly what you&#8217;re doing! This has been a journey into Derp land, please step off of the ride and keep your hands and feet inside the vehicle. <em>*Revs up bone saw* </em>I see only one way that I am going to be able to leave <em>and </em>follow the directions. Good thing I&#8217;m a zombie, or this would hurt like a bone saw! Because <em>it is </em>a bone saw! &#8220;Where did you even get one of those?&#8221; The internet.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-81972" title="zombie_brains_necklace_2" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/zombie_brains_necklace_2.jpg" alt="zombie brains necklace 2" width="600" height="600" /></p>
<p>If you&#8217;d like to throw your money at someone, please visit your local school at Penny the Freshmen day. If you would like to throw money at the Zombie Brains Friendship Necklace Set, go ahead and pogo jump yourself all the way over to <a href="http://www.thinkgeek.com/tshirts-apparel/jewelry/ec31/?cpg=cj&amp;ref=&amp;CJURL=&amp;CJID=2617611">ThinkGeek</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Valentine&#8217;s day is fast approaching. It&#8217;s probably the one day of the year that most singles love to hate for a variety of reasons. And if you still don&#8217;t have a ring on that finger, then maybe you&#8217;d like this ring instead: the Killer Ring.</p>
<p><span id="more-81476"></span>It&#8217;s not a ring that was made to have people kill other people, literally. But it does look pretty, and not just pretty unusual, right?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-81559" title="killer_ring" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/killer_ring.jpg" alt="killer ring" width="600" height="362" /></p>
<p>If you take a closer look at the ring, you&#8217;ll notice that its (artificial) diamond has been positioned into the frame upside down. That means the pointy side is up and the flat side is facing downwards &#8211; making for one deadly looking piece of jewelry.</p>
<p>In a way, you could consider this ring to be sort of, well, an anti-ring. The perfect anti-ring for the anti-Valentine.</p>
<p>The Killer Ring is available from <a href="http://www.gnr8.biz/product_info.php?products_id=1371&amp;products_name=Killer%20Ring">Generate</a>. The sterling silver version sells for just $109 (USD), but you&#8217;ll have to add another $740 if you want it in 14K white or yellow gold.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I sure miss <em>Mystery Science Theater 3000.</em> My fondest memories of the show are way back in the Joel Hodgson era, but these days, just seeing a picture of Crow, Tom Servo or Gypsy makes me giddy. Now I only wish that I could pull off this <em>MST3K</em> pendant to show my love for the classic sci-fi comedy show.</p>
<p><span id="more-81093"></span>Just like the setup of the show &#8211; where Joel (or Mike) sat with the robots and made fun of bad &#8220;B&#8221; movies, this handmade pendant makes your favorite photo the subject of their humorous jabs.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-81175" title="mst3k_pendant_1" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/mst3k_pendant_1.jpg" alt="mst3k pendant 1" width="600" height="593" /></p>
<p>The <em>MST3K</em> locket is made by Laura of <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/PicaPicaPress">PicaPicaPress</a>, and it&#8217;s the perfect place to house a picture of a loved one with a good sense of humor. After all, they&#8217;re going to be perpetually belittled within an inch of their lived by this outer-space peanut gallery. I suppose you could wimp out and put some  sci-fi movie still in there. Pretty much any scene from the re-released <em>Star Wars</em> Blu-ray collection should do the trick &#8211; especially from <em>Episode I.</em> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZUTFKg4na8"><em>Robot Monster</em></a> always works wonders.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-81176" title="mst3k_pendant_2" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/mst3k_pendant_2.jpg" alt="mst3k pendant 2" width="600" height="438" /></p>
<p>Girls, if you consider yourself among the remaining <a href="http://www.mst3kinfo.com/mstfaq/msties.html">MSTies</a> out there, head on over to <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/74607641/mystery-science-theater-3000-locket-in?ref=cat2_gallery_38">Etsy</a>, where you can grab up this locket for $60 (USD). Be sure to wear it the next time you find yourself trapped on the Satellite of Love.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Flash drives with themes and designs are nothing new, but if you&#8217;re really looking for something that pushes the form of a USB drive, Logical Art&#8217;s Empty Memory series may be the ones that you&#8217;re looking for.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-80410" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/empty-memory-usb-drives-by-logical-art.jpg" alt="empty memory usb drives by logical art" width="600" height="406" title="empty memory usb drives by logical art photo" /></p>
<p><span id="more-80406"></span>The Empty Memory drives come in two variants, each with its own subtle visual trick to indicate vacuity. The Structure only has an outline of a body while the Transparency is, you know, transparent. The functional part of the flash drives take up only a small part of the whole thing.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-80416" title="empty-memory-usb-drives-by-logical-art-3" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/empty-memory-usb-drives-by-logical-art-3.jpg" alt="empty memory usb drives by logical art 3" width="600" height="406" /></p>
<p>The message is supposed to be that you&#8217;re going to fill that emptiness with your own memory, a metaphor that fails when you consider that the drives don&#8217;t change appearance when the drives are no longer empty. But still, they&#8217;re really nice to look at. I particularly like looking at the shot with the Structure drive plugged-in.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-80417" title="empty-memory-usb-drives-by-logical-art-4" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/empty-memory-usb-drives-by-logical-art-4.jpg" alt="empty memory usb drives by logical art 4" width="600" height="431" /></p>
<p>Logical Art&#8217;s <a href="http://www.logical-art.co.uk/eshop.htm">online shop</a> is now accepting pre-orders for the drives, which by the way are cast from stainless steel, hand-polished and finished in various colors. If the title didn&#8217;t already clue you in, that previous sentence should prepare you for their price tags. The drives are only available in 4GB capacity and sell for £48 (~$73 USD) for the standard stainless steel finish and £60 (~$92 USD) for the gold or rhodium variants. I know, you could get a <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002QEBMB4/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=theawes-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B002QEBMB4">1TB external drive</a> for just a few dollars more, but will it have the fancy illusion? And can you wear your terabyte drive as a pendant? I didn&#8217;t think so, peasant.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Whenever the next version of the Doctor comes along, he&#8217;s going to need a new wardrobe and some accessories. I would like to suggest that he have the watch on his person. It&#8217;s old, yet modern. Perfect for the time and space explorer. It seems fitting for a Timelord to use this.<br />
<span id="more-79830"></span></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-79872" title="steampunk_pocket_watch" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/steampunk_pocket_watch.jpg" alt="steampunk pocket watch" width="600" height="572" /><br />
Sculpted in English pewter and brass, this timepiece not only looks good on the outside, it&#8217;s also impressive on the inside, with <em>&#8220;solar powered, brass turbine blades rotating or hand cranked to generate transformed power&#8221;.</em>  It also has a quartz movement and a magnetic fastening hatch, and displays the &#8220;Temporal Decay Index&#8221; on its &#8220;Galvanic Scale.&#8221;  Or maybe it just tells time.</p>
<p>I wouldn&#8217;t mind the next doctor wearing this at all, as long as he doesn&#8217;t say <em>&#8220;Fob watches are cool.&#8221;</em> It is $149(USD) over at <a href="http://www.designtoscano.com/product/code/LE18.do?code=CJDATAFEED">Design Toscano</a>.</p>
