			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Our friends over at <a href="http://technabob.com/blog/tag/meninos/">Meninos</a> are at it again. The same guys who gave us those great <a href="http://technabob.com/blog/2008/09/29/iphone-coasters-be-sure-to-drink-your-safari/">iPhone icon coasters</a> are back, and this time they&#8217;re packing a deck of iPhone playing cards.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-18031  aligncenter" title="iphone_playing_cards_2" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/iphone_playing_cards_2.jpg" alt="iphone_playing_cards_2" width="600" height="457" /></p>
<p>While they look a bit more squatty than the proportions of an actual iPhone, these whimsical playing cards definitely get the point across. Each one features a colorful card face printed onto a PVC plastic card. And when the King calls, you&#8217;d better answer and not send him to Visual Voicemail.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-18033  aligncenter" title="iphone_playing_cards_1" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/iphone_playing_cards_11.jpg" alt="iphone_playing_cards_1" width="600" height="431" /></p>
<p>I can&#8217;t find any pictures of what the Jokers look like, but if I designed them, I&#8217;d put Bill Gates on one, and Steve Ballmer on the other. You hear that Meninos guys?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-18030  aligncenter" title="iphone_playing_cards" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/iphone_playing_cards.jpg" alt="iphone_playing_cards" width="600" height="321" /></p>
<p>The iPhone playing cards are available over at the <a href="http://www.meninos.us/products.php?product=Cards">Meninos shop</a> for $25 (USD) a deck. Sure, that&#8217;s a bit expensive for a deck of cards, but I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;ll win that back the first time you flop a pair of pocket Aces and take down the whole table.</p>

			<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>Do you spend a good bit of your time in front of your computer monitor engrossed in Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator? Now you can break down that pesky divide between the digital and real worlds with this clever magnetic photo board.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-8400 aligncenter" title="illustrator_photo_board" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/illustrator_photo_board.jpg" alt="adobe illustrator magnetic photo board meninos" width="520" height="605" /></p>
<p>The designers over at Brazil&#8217;s Meninos (the same guys who gave us some oh-so-awesome <a href="http://technabob.com/blog/2008/09/29/iphone-coasters-be-sure-to-drink-your-safari/">iPhone coasters</a> and <a href="http://technabob.com/blog/2008/07/30/meninos-hard-drive-art/">pop art hard drives</a>) created these wall-mountable magnetic photo boards that let you hold your pictures in place using those familiar palettes from Photoshop or Illustrator.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-8401 aligncenter" title="photoshop_magnetic_photo_board_w" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/photoshop_magnetic_photo_board_w.jpg" alt="adobe illustrator photoshop magnetic photo board meninos" width="520" height="322" /></p>
<p>Each set comes with a bunch of magnetic palettes, menu bar and a contextual pop-up that you can stick on top of your photos. I always wondered why you couldn&#8217;t put your palettes at an angle on your computer. Seems like you should be able to do whatever you want with them &#8211; after all it is <em>your</em> computer, right?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-8403 aligncenter" title="photoshop_illustrator_magnets" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/photoshop_illustrator_magnets.jpg" alt="adobe illustrator photoshop magnets meninos" width="520" height="493" /></p>
<p>Unfortunately, it looks like these are all based on the CS3 Mac versions, and not CS4, so the palettes don&#8217;t dock neatly on the side of the monitor. I really hope they include a tiny little spinning beachball magnet as shown in the photo below.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8402" title="illustrator_photo_board_w" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/illustrator_photo_board_w.jpg" alt="adobe illustrator magnetic photo board meninos" width="520" height="484" /></p>
<p>The PS and AI magnetic photo boards are available for pre-order over at the <a href="http://www.meninos.us/shop/en/produtos/mag/mag.html">Meninos Shop</a> in 30&#8243; and 20&#8243; widescreen versions, with prices ranging from $65 to $95 USD depending on size and whether you get magnets for one or both programs.</p>
<p>At least Meninos won&#8217;t want hundreds of dollars for an upgrade if and when they eventually make a CS4 version.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Check out these great drink coasters, based on those ubiquitous iPhone menu icons.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-4552 aligncenter" title="iphone_drink_coasters" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/iphone_drink_coasters.jpg" alt="iPhone Drink Coasters by Meninos" width="520" height="381" /></p>
<p>Created by the guys over at Brazil&#8217;s <a href="http://meninos.us">Meninos</a> design (the same guys who make <a href="http://technabob.com/blog/2008/07/30/meninos-hard-drive-art/">these awesome hard drives</a>), these icon coasters are a great gift for any iPhone addict. All your favorite applications are there, from Maps to Calculator, from iPod to Settings. Ah, Settings.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-4553 aligncenter" title="iphone_drink_coasters_2" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/iphone_drink_coasters_2.jpg" alt="" width="520" height="378" /></p>
<p>Each coaster  measures 85mm square (about 3.34&#8243;) and is made from sturdy MDF plywood, then wrapped with a premium vinyl decal and durable varnish to protect the design. A thin rubber layer on the bottom keeps the coasters from slipping around.</p>
<p>Sets of 16 coasters retail for $60 USD over at the <a href="http://meninos.us/shop/en/produtos/coasters/coasters.html">Meninos online shop</a>. Personally, I&#8217;m looking forward to when they open up the Coaster App Store.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When is a hard drive not just a hard drive? When it&#8217;s a tiny work of contemporary desktop art, of course.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-3213 aligncenter" title="pringles_hard_drive" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/pringles_hard_drive.jpg" alt="Pringles Hard Drive" width="520" height="382" /></p>
<p>The artists of Brazil&#8217;s <a href="http://meninos.us/">Meninos design studio</a> first started out making these custom pop art hard drive cases for their friends. Now they&#8217;ve had the brilliant idea to release their wares to the rest of the world for us to enjoy.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-3214 aligncenter" title="stormtrooper_hard_drive" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/stormtrooper_hard_drive.jpg" alt="stormtrooper hard drive" width="520" height="414" /></p>
<p>Each one of their external USB hard drive cases is hand-assembled at their studio, using a custom acrylic case (complete with dual cooling fans) covered with a precisely applied vinyl wrapper of one of their designs. They&#8217;ll also make custom designs if you upload Adobe Illustrator art using their <a href="http://meninos.us/shop/en/custom.html">custom template</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-3215 aligncenter" title="meninos_hard_drives" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/meninos_hard_drives.jpg" alt="" width="520" height="528" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">While I love all of their designs, the Samuel L. Jackson <em>Pulp Fiction</em> model has to be my favorite (vinyl blood splatter not included).</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-medium wp-image-3216 aligncenter" title="pulp_fiction_hard_drive" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/pulp_fiction_hard_drive.jpg" alt="Samuel L Jackson Pulp Fiction Hard Drive" width="520" height="387" /></p>
<p>While the cases aren&#8217;t cheap ($250 US without a drive, $400 to $620 US with one), I&#8217;ll forgive these guys since the designs are just so cool. Head on over to the <a href="http://meninos.us/shop/">Meninos Shop</a> to see the complete collection.</p>
