			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I sure miss <em>Mystery Science Theater 3000.</em> My fondest memories of the show are way back in the Joel Hodgson era, but these days, just seeing a picture of Crow, Tom Servo or Gypsy makes me giddy. Now I only wish that I could pull off this <em>MST3K</em> pendant to show my love for the classic sci-fi comedy show.</p>
<p><span id="more-81093"></span>Just like the setup of the show &#8211; where Joel (or Mike) sat with the robots and made fun of bad &#8220;B&#8221; movies, this handmade pendant makes your favorite photo the subject of their humorous jabs.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-81175" title="mst3k_pendant_1" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/mst3k_pendant_1.jpg" alt="mst3k pendant 1" width="600" height="593" /></p>
<p>The <em>MST3K</em> locket is made by Laura of <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/PicaPicaPress">PicaPicaPress</a>, and it&#8217;s the perfect place to house a picture of a loved one with a good sense of humor. After all, they&#8217;re going to be perpetually belittled within an inch of their lived by this outer-space peanut gallery. I suppose you could wimp out and put some  sci-fi movie still in there. Pretty much any scene from the re-released <em>Star Wars</em> Blu-ray collection should do the trick &#8211; especially from <em>Episode I.</em> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZUTFKg4na8"><em>Robot Monster</em></a> always works wonders.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-81176" title="mst3k_pendant_2" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/mst3k_pendant_2.jpg" alt="mst3k pendant 2" width="600" height="438" /></p>
<p>Girls, if you consider yourself among the remaining <a href="http://www.mst3kinfo.com/mstfaq/msties.html">MSTies</a> out there, head on over to <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/74607641/mystery-science-theater-3000-locket-in?ref=cat2_gallery_38">Etsy</a>, where you can grab up this locket for $60 (USD). Be sure to wear it the next time you find yourself trapped on the Satellite of Love.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As is evidenced by a couple of our most <a href="http://technabob.com/blog/2011/06/11/midi-hats-makes-music/">recent</a> <a href="http://technabob.com/blog/2011/06/10/brain-bulb-brain-activated-light-bulb/">posts</a>, women and girls can be into electronics just as much as dudes. So why not wear your inner geekette around your neck with one of these cool circuit board necklaces. They&#8217;re made by the guys at Brooklyn&#8217;s Design Glut, and look just like the metal traces from a circuit board.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-58486" title="stainless_circuit_board_necklace_1" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/stainless_circuit_board_necklace_1.jpg" alt="stainless circuit board necklace 1" width="600" height="547" /></p>
<p><span id="more-58434"></span>But instead of just cheaping out and cutting up some old circuits like we often see over on Etsy, these guys make their jewelry from mirror-polished stainless steel, then hung them each from a 16&#8243; chain. The pendants themselves measure 2&#8243; x 1.5&#8243; and are available in either silver or gold finishes, but not in copper &#8211; which would be even more appropriate for a circuit board. Still, they&#8217;re quite good looking, IMHO.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-58487" title="stainless_circuit_board_necklace_2" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/stainless_circuit_board_necklace_2.jpg" alt="stainless circuit board necklace 2" width="600" height="537" /></p>
<p>If you&#8217;re looking for something a little more girly (or want you&#8217;re a guy and want to get your girlfriend something sweet and geeky), there&#8217;s always the version shaped like a little 1&#8243;x1&#8243; heart, too.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-58488" title="circuit_board_heart_necklace" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/circuit_board_heart_necklace.jpg" alt="circuit board heart necklace" width="600" height="622" /></p>
<p>I wonder if there&#8217;s a schematic available for the parts that could go into these things. I suppose if you really wanted to, you could solder some components in, but I&#8217;m going to go out on a limb and guess that you won&#8217;t end up with a functional circuit. I guess you can always find out for yourself. Each of these circuit board necklaces sells for $60 (USD) over at the <a href="http://supermarkethq.com/designer/234/products">Design Glut shop</a> over on Supermarket.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Items referencing companion cubes, defective turrets, ATLAS, P-body, GLaDOS, even Wheatley himself are far too obvious for those who want to be members of the <em>Portal 2</em> insider&#8217;s club. This piece of jewelry is a much more subtle choice for the discerning <em>Portal 2</em> fan.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-56023" title="combustible_lemons_pendant_1" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/combustible_lemons_pendant_1.jpg" alt="combustible lemons pendant 1" width="600" height="436" /></p>
<p><span id="more-56022"></span>In tribute to <del>Vern Schillinger&#8217;s</del> Cave Johnson&#8217;s classic <em>&#8220;<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CeJ1Sauv2gc">Don&#8217;t make lemonade</a>&#8220;</em> speech from <em>Portal 2,</em> jewelry artist <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/MarkWengryn">Mark Wengryn</a> created this cool metal pendant. The 2&#8243; wide pendant is handmade from bronze and copper and attached to a 16&#8243; leather cord.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-56025" title="combustible_lemons_pendant_2" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/combustible_lemons_pendant_2.jpg" alt="combustible lemons pendant 2" width="600" height="511" /></p>
<p>Remember, <em>When life gives you lemons, don&#8217;t make lemonade! Make life take the lemons back! GET MAD! I don&#8217;t want your damn lemons; what am I supposed to do with these!? Demand to see life&#8217;s manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons! Do you know who I am!? I&#8217;m the man who&#8217;s gonna burn your house down! With the lemons! I&#8217;m gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!&#8230; (and then hang it from a pendant you can wear around your neck.)<br />
</em></p>
<p>Oh, and you can grab the Combustible Lemon pendant over on <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/73968546/combustible-lemon-pendant?">Etsy</a> for $39 (USD).<em><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here&#8217;s a fun bit of jewelry for you geeky girls out there. These clever pixel necklaces are based on mouse cursors.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-50759" title="mouse_cursor_necklace" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/mouse_cursor_necklace.jpg" alt="mouse cursor necklace" width="600" height="494" /></p>
<p><span id="more-50758"></span>Created by Israeli artist Ran (aka <a href="http://milkool.deviantart.com/">milkool</a>), these pendants offer up chunky, pixely cursors hanging from a black metal ball-chain. They&#8217;re made from 2 layers of colored acrylic, stacked together, so they have some nice dimension too. Plus, at just $14 (USD) each, they won&#8217;t cost you much.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-50761" title="mouse_pointer_hand_necklace" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/mouse_pointer_hand_necklace.jpg" alt="mouse pointer hand necklace" width="600" height="575" /></p>
<p>Currently, they&#8217;re available in either an <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/66473236/mouse-cursor-8-bit-pixels-arrow">arrow pointer</a> or <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/66546448/mouse-cursor-8-bit-pixels-hand">pointing hand</a> designs, both perfect for getting people to look you in the eyes.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-50762" title="mouse_pointer_hand_necklace_on" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/mouse_pointer_hand_necklace_on.jpg" alt="mouse pointer hand necklace on" width="600" height="529" /></p>
<p>Of course, if you&#8217;re the type of person who makes others wait around  for them, maybe you could convince Ran to make you an hourglass or a  beachball version instead.</p>
<p>You can find these and other fun nerdy-chic pendants and accessories over at <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/milkool">milkool&#8217;s Etsy shop</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What could be a better present for the geek or geekette in your life than this ultimate Space Invaders pendant? This pendant was designed by <a href="http://www.lateteaucube.com/">La Tête Au Cube</a>, which roughly translates as your head cubed. The design collective collaborated with <a href="http://www.colette.fr/#/eshop/article/8480813/christofle-x-la-tete-au-cube/275/">Christofle</a> to make a new edition of the fan favorite, Space Invaders.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-32592" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/050610_rg_SpaceInvadersPendant_01.jpg" alt="050610 rg SpaceInvadersPendant 01" width="600" height="392" title="050610 rg SpaceInvadersPendant 01 photo" /></p>
<p>It was <a href="http://technabob.com/blog/2008/11/04/space-invaders-dog-tags-for-people-not-pets/">previously available</a> in fluorescent plastic. This time around, it&#8217;s made out of silver, and looks great. It&#8217;s currently available at the <a href="http://www.colette.fr/#/eshop/article/8480813/christofle-x-la-tete-au-cube/275/">Christofle</a> online store for 100€ ($127 USD). Sadly, I just noticed that it&#8217;s currently sold out. Hopefully, they&#8217;ll make a new batch pretty soon.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Let me start by saying this. I love <a href="http://www.technabob.com/blog/tag/tokyoflash">TokyoFlash</a>. These guys have brought some of the coolest digital watch designs I&#8217;ve ever seen to the world, and now they&#8217;re amping up their game with their first consumer electronics gadget, the Escape C.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-27528  aligncenter" title="tokyoflash_kisai_escape_c" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/tokyoflash_kisai_escape_c.jpg" alt="tokyoflash kisai escape c" width="600" height="705" /></p>
<p>While this saucer-shaped device might look like something you&#8217;d use to hail your alien mothership with, it&#8217;s actually got slightly more humble ambitions. The Escape C pod is a wireless gadget that lets you stream stereo audio from your Bluetooth capable MP3 player or mobile phone so you can listen to music and accept phone calls at the same time. The device supports A2DP and AVRCP profiles, and can connect up to 33 feet away from your media player or phone.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-27529  aligncenter" title="tokyoflash_kisai_escape_c_side" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/tokyoflash_kisai_escape_c_side.jpg" alt="tokyoflash kisai escape c side" width="600" height="326" /></p>
<p>The Kisai Escape C features a cool curvy design, covered with tactile control buttons for media playback and accepting calls. It&#8217;s idea for the iPhone 3G, 3GS or iPod Touch, but also can be used with programs like Skype on your PC. Of course, it wouldn&#8217;t be a ToykoFlash device without some sort of obtuse time-telling feature. So the Escape C offers up some light-up blue LEDs around the perimeter that show the current time. I&#8217;ve got no idea how to figure out the time, but isn&#8217;t that part of the fun?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-27530  aligncenter" title="tokyoflash_kisai_escape_c_diagram" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/tokyoflash_kisai_escape_c_instructions.jpg" alt="tokyoflash kisai escape c instructions" width="600" height="515" /></p>
<p>Anywho, <a href="http://www.tokyoflash.com/">TokyoFlash</a> hasn&#8217;t officially announced a launch date yet, but word on the street is that the Escape C will be released some time in Q1 2010, and will retail for 9,800 yen, (appx. $110 USD). Stay tuned for more details.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Gamer girls, did you get everything you wanted for Christmas? I bet your boyfriends didn&#8217;t get you one of these. After you return that ill-fitting sequined Quacker Factory sweater your aunt got you, why not turn around and spend that money on one of these nifty 8-bit pixel pendants.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-25351  aligncenter" title="8_bit_pendants_by_sketchy_stories" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/8_bit_pendants_by_sketchy_stories.jpg" alt="8 bit pendants by sketchy stories" width="600" height="385" /></p>
<p>Handmade by Nicholas D&#8217;Amario of <a href="http://sketchy-stories.com/jewelry/jewelry.html">Sketchy-Stories</a>, these pendants feature some great retro video game designs. Each one is handmade from .925 sterling silver and features a pixelated image of 8-bit Mario, a health heart, or a skull of death. If pixels aren&#8217;t your thing, check out this substantial controller pendant, cast from the D-Pad from an old NES controller and accented with black enamel.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-25352  aligncenter" title="nes_d_pad_pendants_by_sketchy_stories" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/nes_d_pad_pendants_by_sketchy_stories.jpg" alt="nes d pad pendants by sketchy stories" width="600" height="465" /></p>
<p>Prices for the pixel pendants range from $44 to $48 (USD) without a chain, and the D-pad sells for $85, including a black cord. They&#8217;re available over at <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/sketchystories">Sketchy-Stories Etsy shop</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The world is tragically short on <em>Animal Crossing</em> crafts. Sure, occasionally someone turns up with a KK Slider plush or a handmade knick-knack, but the adorable world of <em>Animal Crossing</em> should be everywhere. It should be up there with <em>Katamari Damacy</em> and <em>Loco Roco</em>&#8211;at least, visually&#8211;but for the most part, <em>Animal Crossing</em> is MIA from the geek craft scene&#8230; which is why we have to cherish these things when they <em>do</em> finally turn up.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-23476" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/tb-animalcrossing.jpg" alt="tb animalcrossing" width="600" height="525" title="tb animalcrossing photo" /></p>
<p>Look at those eyes! That cheery face! You&#8217;d never know she spends half the day pulling weeds and digging holes. This girl spends her days lounging around under the trees and fishing, clearly, with a sideline in fashion design. You&#8217;ve got to be at least a <em>little</em> fierce to pull off those red shoes.</p>
<p>This little <em>Animal Crossing</em> pendant is only $9 at Etsy, and the <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=28243171&amp;ref=sr_list_1&amp;&amp;ga_search_query=videogames&amp;ga_search_type=handmade&amp;ga_page=&amp;includes[]=tags&amp;includes[]=title">LoveYourSupplies shop</a> folk will even customize if you want. Not a bad idea for a game that is all about you (and, uh, also <em>chores</em>).</p>

<p>See that? That&#8217;s gold. And <em>rubies</em>. This is serious fandom here. DeviantARTist Dans-Magic has made a number of these custom pieces, and in fact, this isn&#8217;t the only bit of <em>Transformers</em> bling he&#8217;s done. Check out this pendant set with sapphires:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-14061" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/tb-optprpen1.jpg" alt="tb optprpen1" width="520" height="376" title="tb optprpen1 photo" /></p>
<p>It&#8217;s not just <em>Transformers</em>, though; Dans-Magic has a number of other items, including <em>Predator</em> jewelry (!!) and themes from outside of pop culture. Custom orders accepted, but remember that they come with a custom price.</p>

If there&#8217;s not enough daylight to keep them charged, that&#8217;s okay, since each segment has a set of AA batteries inside to keep them glowing too.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;">This modern, minimal lighting fixture from designer David Abad takes queues from a traditional incandescent lightbulb, but the resemblance is only skin deep.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-3980 aligncenter" title="dear_edi_lamp" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/dear_edi_lamp.jpg" alt="dear edi lamp" width="520" height="763" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Created for Spain&#8217;s <a href="http://www.dab.es">DAB Light Works</a>, the bulb-shaped Dear Edi (a nod to Thomas <strong>Edi</strong>son) lamp is actually made from metal, not glass. A small cutout at the bottom of the hanging fixture lets its bright directional light source cast a dramatic beam onto the surface below.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-3981 aligncenter" title="dear_edi_lamp_2" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/dear_edi_lamp_2.jpg" alt="dear edi lamp 2" width="520" height="654" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The fixture hangs from your ceiling by a metallic fabric cable, and the &#8220;bulb&#8221; is available in either a shiny chrome or bold black anodized finish. Depending on your preference, you can choose from an intense halogen light source, or go all modern with a 3-watt LED lamp.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">I definitely wouldn&#8217;t complain about a set three of these hanging over my kitchen island. For more information on lighting by DAB, contact their U.S. distributor, <a href="http://www.globallighting.com">Global Lighting</a>.</p>

<p>Created by Dutch designer <a href="http://www.sandermulder.com/">Sander Mulder</a> (formerly of revered design house <a href="http://www.burovormkrijgers.nl">Buro Vormkrijgers</a>), the Eureka lamp is completely self-contained, and can be easily mailed in an envelope, then hung from the ceiling using string or wire.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/eureka_led_lamp_on.jpg" alt="eureka led lamp on"  title="eureka led lamp on photo" /></p>
<p>Alas, the brilliant Eureka lamp is still just a prototype concept, and has not been produced for the masses. I&#8217;m hoping that a little good press might inspire Mulder to put these into production, since they are really, really cool. Heck, I&#8217;d definitely grab a few to add a little extra character to my workspace.</p>
<p>[In case you missed it when it first made the rounds, be sure to check out Mulder's awesome <a href="http://www.sandermulder.com/pong_clock.html">Pong wall clock</a>].</p>

<p>The handmade wooden mini-cameras have an embedded <a href="http://www.geekstuff4u.com/product_info.php?manufacturers_id=&amp;products_id=576">Motz Music Box</a> at their core, letting them play MP3, WMA and OGG files.</p>

<p>The only real downside to the player is that it only has 256MB of memory, and doesn&#8217;t look like it&#8217;s expandable. Still, it&#8217;s a fun conversation piece.</p>
<p>You can find these from Korea&#8217;s <a href="http://www.worldlingo.com/S1790.5/translation?wl_srclang=ko&amp;wl_trglang=en&amp;wl_url=http://10x10.co.kr/shopping/category_prd.asp?itemid=106481">10&#215;10</a> store for 40,000 Korean Won (about $43.50 USD.)</p>

You can program a message of your choice by pressing a couple of buttons on the back of the tag.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m not sure if <a href="http://www.red5.co.uk/Tagz-pr-82.html">tagZ</a> will be the next big trend with the kidZ, but they sure look cooler than the tacky glow stick necklaces that show up at the occasional rave. TagZ are available from <a href="http://www.red5.co.uk/Tagz-pr-82.html">RED5</a> for £10.00 each (just under $20 USD.)</p>
