			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Some bags allow you to <a href="http://technabob.com/blog/2011/08/03/electronic-rock-guitar-bag/">strum a few tunes</a>, while others let you strap on your gadgets so you can <a href="http://technabob.com/blog/2011/09/14/powerbag-charge-carry/">charge them up as you go</a>. And then there are bags that let you indulge in your habit (which is hopefully not an addiction).</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-70455" title="baggy_winecoat_1" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/baggy_winecoat_1.jpg" alt="baggy winecoat 1" width="600" height="469" /></p>
<p><span id="more-70420"></span>The Baggy Winecoat, as this bag is called, isn&#8217;t just for wine. Fill her up with beer, soda, juice, ginger ale, and any other drink you want to take with you on the go. It&#8217;s fashioned from polyester or leatherette, and comes in five colors for you to choose from: black, red, white, lilac, and black leatherette.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-70456" title="baggy_winecoat_2" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/baggy_winecoat_2.jpg" alt="baggy winecoat 2" width="600" height="753" /></p>
<p>The Baggy Winecoat was actually designed by Jakob Wagner and can hold up to 3 liters of your poison of choice. The bottom is made from solid rubber construction, and it has a built-in spigot so you can dispense your drinks anytime and anywhere you want to. You can find the Baggy Winecoat over at <a href="http://www.scandinaviandesigncenter.com/Products/usd0/Trademark/Menu/10736/Baggy+Winecoat&amp;VariantId=01">Scandanavian Design Center</a> for about $53 (USD).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Planning a house party for the beginning of the Fall? Don&#8217;t know all of your neighbors yet? Use your Wi-Fi network to invite everyone on your block! Wait a second, is this actually a smart idea?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-38919" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/090710_rg_WiFiInvites_01.jpg" alt="090710 rg WiFiInvites 01" width="600" height="799" title="090710 rg WiFiInvites 01 photo" /></p>
<p>One of the most interesting ways that I&#8217;ve seen to invite people to your house party is to change the name of your Wi-Fi network. This is a probably a good idea if you&#8217;re a student living in a dorm. If you simply live in an apartment complex, there&#8217;s always the the chance that some crazy person will show up.<span id="more-38918"></span></p>
<p>All in all, it&#8217;s quick and effective, but you probably shouldn&#8217;t use it as a default way of inviting people to your party. Sticking to Facebook is probably a good idea. Or, you could use your Wi-Fi network to send passive aggressive messages to your neighbors.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-38920" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/090710_rg_WiFiInvites_02.jpg" alt="090710 rg WiFiInvites 02" width="600" height="456" title="090710 rg WiFiInvites 02 photo" /></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There&#8217;s a common theme in gaming that seems to revolve around parties&#8211;intrepid bands of heroes who end up together on an epic quest to save the world, and maybe enjoy a delicious sandwich or something along the way. <em>Trine</em>, previously-PC, now available for PS3, actually explores a little of that party concept in this scrolling puzzling platformer.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img class="size-full wp-image-19952  aligncenter" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/tb-trineps3.jpg" alt="tb trineps3" width="600" height="341" title="tb trineps3 photo" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left">In <em>Trine</em>, a wizard, a thief, and a knight are stuck together fighting an army of undead. Throughout the game, the player can switch off between heroes, using their strengths to help traverse puzzles, platforms, and legions of, well, undead. Because the legions of the undead are always the bad guys.</p>
<p><em>Trine</em> got such a good reception that the PC game is expanding; this week, it moves to the aforementioned PSN store&#8211;at least, in Europe&#8211;and Atlus is working on a version for the Xbox 360, so you&#8217;ll have a chance to wield your characters in a variety of ways if you are so inclined. <em>Trine</em> sports lush visuals and well-received gameplay, so it might be something worth looking into.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Nope, this wild glowy sphere isn&#8217;t some sort of newfangled plasma weapon. Actually, what you&#8217;re looking at is a combination speaker/light show that&#8217;s perfect for your next big dance party.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-5340 aligncenter" title="flash_beat_speaker" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/flash_beat_speaker.jpg" alt="flash beat speaker" width="520" height="659" /></p>
<p>Inside the transparent red plastic orb of the Zumreed <a href="http://www.dreams6.com/products/zumreedmusic/flashbeat.html">Flash Beat</a> is a downward-firing speaker, surrounded by a rapidly spinning pink light. As your tunes kick in, the light reacts instantaneously to the beat of the music.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-5341 aligncenter" title="flash_beat_speaker_off" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/flash_beat_speaker_off.jpg" alt="flash beat speaker off" width="520" height="694" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">And even though it&#8217;s under 9-inches tall, it&#8217;s powerful enough to fill a large room according to the product description (Caveat Emptor, of course). Just connect the speaker to your iPod or even a video game system, and you&#8217;ll have yourself a self-contained audiovisual extravaganza.</p>
<p>Originally available only in Japan, the guys over at <a href="http://www.audiocubes.com/category/Lifestyle_Household+Accessories/product/Dreams_Flash_Beat_Speaker.html">Audiocubes</a> have brought in a limited number of these for you to enjoy stateside for $189.99 each.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Getting ready to throw that last big pool party before the Summer comes to an end? There&#8217;s nothing better than a Luau themed party, complete with a variety of rum-and-fruit-juice-infused cocktails served in some <a href="http://www.myriahsbazaar.com/CERAMIC-TIKI-MUGS-s/81.htm">Tiki Tumblers</a>. What better way to complement your Luau but with some matching Tiki speakers (blasting some appropriate <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2eGaDT4iz1g">Elvis</a> or <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0OMLoAtC9RY"><span>Israel Ka&#8217;ano&#8217;i Kamakawiwo&#8217;ole</span></a>, of course) to set the mood?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-3527 aligncenter" title="tiki_toonz_speakers" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/tiki_toonz_speakers.jpg" alt="tiki toonz speakers" width="520" height="517" /></p>
<p>These fun new Luau Luey speakers from TikiToonz should do the trick just fine. Based on the classic Polynesian carvings, these outdoor speakers crank out 80 watts per channel and are made from durable weather-resistant enclosures. They&#8217;re perfect poolside or anywhere you want to set that retro Tiki bar look.</p>
<p>A pair of the speakers retails for $149.95 USD from the <a href="http://www.tikitoonz.com/index_files/Page570.htm">TikiToonz website</a>. And no &#8211; it doesn&#8217;t matter how many Zombies or Mai Tais you serve me, I won&#8217;t wear that grass skirt and do the hula.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On a day that was loaded with announcements of fun and interesting new Wii accessories like the <a href="/blog/2007/07/11/nintendo-wii-zapper-the-real-fps-controller/">Wii Zapper</a> and the <a href="/blog/2007/07/11/wii-fit-lose-weight-while-gaming/">Wii Fit Balance Board</a>, comes the most unusual add-on I&#8217;ve seen in a while, NYKO&#8217;s Wii Party Station.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/07/nyko_party_station.jpg" alt="nyko party station"  title="nyko party station photo" /></p>
<p>It&#8217;s hard to describe the Party Station. Think of the $25 accessory as a &#8220;plugged in&#8221; party tray. Sure, it&#8217;s got all the usual storage for your Wii-motes and Nunchuks, but that&#8217;s not where the &#8220;party&#8221; comes into play. The accessory offers such whimsical features as a hand-cooling fan to dry sweaty palms, LED readouts for tracking individual scores, four cupholders that can cool your drinks, and a place for your chips and dip.</p>
<p>Just add party hats and favors and you&#8217;re ready to go!</p>

<p>It&#8217;s loaded with over 500 infrared remote codes so it should work on most popular television brands, and all beer bottles.</p>
