			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>History was made when President Barack Obama was elected as the President of the United States in 2008. I still remember that day like it was yesterday. And now here we are in 2012, with the U.S. Presidential elections coming up in a few months.</p>
<p><span id="more-81565"></span>On a totally unrelated note to politics, the President as the Incredible Hulk is the last thing I ever thought I&#8217;d see. But here it is, in all it&#8217;s hulky massiveness: Barack Obama as the Hulk.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-81581" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Barack-Obama-Incredible-Hulk.jpg" alt="Barack Obama Incredible Hulk" width="600" height="828" title="Barack Obama Incredible Hulk photo" /></p>
<p>The figure was created by <a href="http://www.popaganda.com/blog1.php">Ron English</a>, a well-known artist creates <a href="http://www.popaganda.com/blog1.php/items-for-sale/">awesome works of art</a> for a living. Unsurprisingly, his Joe Biden action figure is nowhere to be found.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you are a fan of President Obama (or even if you are not a fan of the Pres) you will like the interesting keyboard that has turned up over on <a href="http://blog.makezine.com/archive/2011/07/build-your-own-obama-speech.html">Make:</a>. The keyboard was designed by Ashley Lewis and she took Obama&#8217;s voice from his inauguration speech and then grabbed choice words from the speech.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-62703" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/obama-keyboard-sg.jpg" alt="obama keyboard sg" width="600" height="275" title="obama keyboard sg photo" /></p>
<p><span id="more-62702"></span></p>
<p>Each of the words is bound to one of the keys on the keyboard with the white and black keys getting their own words. The project is called the Obama Board and mostly you can use it to make gibberish sentences. (That might be what some of you already think come out of Obama&#8217;s mouth anyway.) Here it is in action, so turn up the volume:</p>
<p><a href="http://technabob.com/blog/2011/08/01/obama-keyboard-voice-samples/"><strong>Click to View Embedded Video Clip</strong></a></p>
<p>The words seem like you would be able to make a sentence pretty easily, but it&#8217;s actually harder than it looks. Lewis says she is a big fan of Obama, even though she didn’t vote. Actually, she can’t vote since she is Canadian.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve always wanted to rage at someone and tell them to eat lead. Okay, so that might just be in my wildest dreams, because I don&#8217;t think I can pull something like that off &#8211; unless, of course, I actually had these gold Jell-o bullets in my arsenal.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-62342" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Golden-Jell-O-bullets.jpg" alt="Golden Jell O bullets" width="600" height="369" title="Golden Jell O bullets photo" /></p>
<p><span id="more-62341"></span>I don&#8217;t know what Shelly Sabel used to coat the bullet Jell-os she molded, but all I can say is, she&#8217;s good. And so are the rest of the people who participated in the <a href="http://www.finedininglovers.com/contents/articles/jelly_competition.aspx">2011 Jell-o Mold Competition</a>.</p>
<p>Shelly didn&#8217;t win first prize though. You might be wondering what on earth could outdo these smashing jelly bullets, but apparently, the judges were more partial to <a href="http://www.peterpracilio.com/">Peter Pracilio&#8217;s</a> entry, appropriately called <em>Jelly Fishin&#8217;.</em></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-62343" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Jellyfishin-Jello.jpg" alt="Jellyfishin Jello" width="600" height="410" title="Jellyfishin Jello photo" /></p>
<p>Check out more entries in the Jell-o competition below. Personally, my favorite from the bunch is the Can of Jelly Worms entry. What&#8217;s yours?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I didn&#8217;t vote for Obama, mostly because his ears were too big and he reminded me of Ross Perot. As it turns out my irrational fear of leaders with big ears worked out in my favor, you can’t blame me for the huge deficit and the fact that our tax money paid bonuses for banking executives. Michelle Obama has thus far been known for being married to the leader of the free world and for being a snappy dresser.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-28637  aligncenter" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/createbyjasonwu-tb.jpg" alt="createbyjasonwu tb" width="600" height="503" title="createbyjasonwu tb photo" /></p>
<p><span id="more-28636"></span></p>
<p>Apparently, the dude responsible for at least some of her duds is designer Jason Wu. Wu has branched out from dressing Michelle and is now designing digital cameras, which is apparently what all designers aspire to after Vivienne Tam broke into the lucrative gadget design market and opened the doors for designers of all kinds. Wu&#8217;s line of cameras is called Create by Jason Wu and will be <a href="http://www.ge.com">GE</a> branded though they are produced by a company called General Imaging.</p>
<p>The cams come in enough colors to make a bag of Skittles jealous or you can get them clad in leather. All of them share the same features and price. The cams come with 4GB of storage built-in, 12-megapixel resolution, 3x zoom, and a 2.7-inch LCD for $179.99 (USD). You can also get the cams in 8GB capacity for $229.99. You can get both of the cams on HSN on March 16.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Someone &#8211; I forgot who &#8211; once said that politics is &#8220;showbiz for ugly people.&#8221; Well the United States of America beg to differ, as they now have a leader whose charms are so far above Hollywood levels that he makes betting on the NCAA Final Four absolutely bewitching, even to yours truly, a Filipino who doesn&#8217;t even care about basketball in general.  The American media goes crazy when his family gets a dog, or when his wife manages to change her clothes inside a gigantic airplane. <em>How indeed</em> did she pull that off?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-11874" title="obama_flash_drive" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/obama_flash_drive.jpg" alt="obama flash drive" width="520" height="343" /></p>
<p>Since we can&#8217;t get enough of combining President Obama with everything except things actually related to his job, let&#8217;s all buy this Obama flash drive from <a href="http://www.activemp.com/USB_drives/Obama-USB-drive.htm">Active Media Products</a>. The 2 GB USB drive features a holographic image of the 44th American President and an hour&#8217;s worth of speeches &#8211; his Inaugural Address and &#8220;Race Speech&#8221; -  in mp3 format.</p>
<p>You can get the Obama flash drive at <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0021PF8QS?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=technabob-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B0021PF8QS">Amazon</a><img style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=technabob-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B0021PF8QS" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" title=" photo" /> for $9 USD. I bet you already have one.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This may not be the first time we&#8217;ve seen a <a href="http://technabob.com/blog/2008/10/31/mario-obama-mariobama/">mix of Mario and President Obama</a>, but it&#8217;s certainly the most interactive. Parody flash game <em>Super Obama World</em> replaces some classic images from <em>Super Mario World</em> with a grinning image of the president himself, and some of the familiar enemies and objects have been politicized.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8543" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/tb-suobwor1.jpg" alt="tb suobwor1" width="520" height="216" title="tb suobwor1 photo" /></p>
<p>Perhaps the funniest changes are to the world map, where familiar locales like Yoshi&#8217;s House have now become I Can See Russia From My House. It&#8217;s a longer name, sure, but sometimes, you&#8217;ve just gotta go for it.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8546" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/tb-suobwo2.jpg" alt="tb suobwo2" width="520" height="389" title="tb suobwo2 photo" /></p>
<p>Creators <a href="http://www.zensoft.com/">ZenSoft</a> also have a Tetris-style game available on their site. Don&#8217;t worry&#8211;it&#8217;s just blocks falling, with no political themes.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Looks like Mario has given up <a href="http://technabob.com/blog/2008/06/07/obama-and-mccain-mario-party/">his bid for the White House</a>, and officially conceded the race to Super Obama.</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">Like many among him, Mario is looking for change in the Mushroom Kingdom. No longer will he be led blindly into battle to &#8220;bring democracy&#8221; to the Koopas, nor will he stand for citizens resorting to eating mysterious mushrooms in lieu of a decent healthcare system.
