			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of life&#8217;s great guilty pleasures has to be the classic table game of foosball. But how can you incorporate this pub favorite into your civilized modern lifestyle?</p>

<p>The artisans over at Britain&#8217;s <a href="http://www.trifledesign.co.uk/">Trifle Design</a> have the answer with this contemporary Offside Foosball Coffee Table. Each table is handmade from high quality materials including solid oak, stainless steel and a glass top where you can put your drinks.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/foosball_table.jpg" alt="foosball table"  title="foosball table photo" /></p>
<p>I especially dig the mirrored finish and sandblasted yardage lines on the playing field. I&#8217;d love one of these, but the price is a bit of an obstacle at £2999 (about $6062 USD), putting it out of reach of all but those of you with really deep pockets and money to burn.</p>
<p>For the rest of us, I guess we&#8217;re left to some divey sports bar or 1970&#8242;s rec room to play it &#8216;old school.&#8217;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ok, I&#8217;ll say it now. This music player only plays one tune, &#8220;Voi Che Sapete,&#8221; from Mozart&#8217;s <em>The Marriage of Figaro, </em>but it sure looks cool doing it.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/music_orb_1.jpg" alt="music orb 1"  title="music orb 1 photo" /></p>
<p>The Music Orb is a perfectly smooth wooden globe that contains a tiny mechanical music box. Artisans on the fringes of Germany&#8217;s Black Forest handcraft natural oak wood into a 3.5-inch diameter spherical player. While it won&#8217;t connect to my computer, stream digital files, or even play the music I want, I still want one.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s available from the <a href="https://www.momastore.org/museum/moma/ProductDisplay_Music%20Orb_10451_10001_34401_-1_11451_11628_null__">MOMA Store</a> for $90 (or if you&#8217;re a member, $81.)</p>
