			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Swiss artist <a href="http://www.massivecut.com">André Willimann</a> handcrafts these gloriously detailed 3-dimensional faceplates for Microsoft&#8217;s Xbox 360 console. Each one is meticulously assembled from custom molded 3-D pieces, then individually oil painted to give the works depth and color.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/treasure_island_faceplate_1.jpg" alt="treasure island faceplate 1"  title="treasure island faceplate 1 photo" /></p>
<p>The artist is currently selling a limited-edition series called &#8220;Treasure Island&#8221;, which feature a vivid scene of tropical waves, islands and even a detailed skull if you look close enough.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/treasure_island_faceplate_2.jpg" alt="treasure island faceplate 2"  title="treasure island faceplate 2 photo" /></p>
<p>While I love the pirate theme, I have to say this earlier &#8220;Molten Stone&#8221; faceplate really knocked my socks off. It looks like a hot lava flow busting through a slab of rock.</p>

<p>While the Molten Stone one isn&#8217;t for sale, you can find one of the Treasure Island faceplates on the artist&#8217;s <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5041559">Etsy shop</a> ($120), but since each one is handmade, you might have to wait a little while if the current listing sells.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The answer to that question is not &#8220;with it&#8217;s nose.&#8221; Instead, it smells like roses or peppermints thanks to this weird new USB device.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/07/usb_oil_burner.jpg" alt="usb oil burner"  title="usb oil burner photo" /></p>
<p>As if smelly colognes and incense weren&#8217;t bad enough, now we have to worry about odoriferous computers. This USB fragrance oil burner takes little droplets of aromatic oils and heats them enough to really stink up the place. <a href="http://www.usbgeek.com/prod_detail.php?prod_id=0682">USBGeek</a> has &#8216;em for $7 each, including a dropper of either of the aforementioned scents.</p>
<p>By the way, if anyone in my office decides to get one of these, I might just have to take your laptop and throw it in the dumpster outside. Let&#8217;s see if how good it smells then.</p>
