			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I just got invited to a formal wedding this Fall, and have been stymied as to what I would wear since it&#8217;s been about 15 years since I had to wear a tuxedo to anything. While I still might have to rent a tux and bow tie, at least I know what I&#8217;ll be wearing on my sleeves.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-3850 aligncenter" title="pac_man_cufflinks_sarahlynn" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/pac_man_cufflinks_sarahlynn.jpg" alt="Pac-Man Cufflinks By Sarah Lynne Designs" width="520" height="430" /></p>
<p>How could you resist going out on a night on the town with these great Pac-Man cufflinks on your wrists? Handmade by Sarah Lynne Designs, they feature the likeness of Pac-Man on one cuff and a blue ghost (presumably spawned after a tasty power pill) on the other.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-3851 aligncenter" title="pac_man_cufflinks_sleeve" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/pac_man_cufflinks_sleeve.jpg" alt="" width="520" height="430" /></p>
<p>Sarah makes the cufflinks from sturdy brushed aluminum and then coats them with a heavy-duty resin for that glossy sheen. The intricate character designs are made from hand sculpted wire and paint, while the dots are made from teeny, tiny beads.</p>
<p>You can find these and other cool contemporary jewelry over on <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=102270">Sarah&#8217;s Etsy shop</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It seems like most gamer gear is oriented towards dudes, so it&#8217;s nice to see the occasional accessory for girls who like to get their game on. On one side, this contemporary necklace features a feminine cherry blossom design, but flip it over and it shows off your true gamer spirit with the image of a classic Nintendo NES controller.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/sarah_lynne_nintendo_necklace.jpg" alt="Nintendo Reversible Necklace by Sarah Lynne" /><img src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/sarah_lynne_nintendo_neckace_on.jpg" alt="Nintendo Reversible Necklace by Sarah Lynne" /></p>
<p>Michigan artist <a href="http://www.etsy.com/profile.php?user_id=102270">Sarah Lynne</a> handcrafts her necklaces and other jewelry designs using aluminum, wire, paper and paint, then coats them with a highly polished resin glaze that takes three days to complete. Each piece she makes is unique, so you&#8217;ll need to move fast if you want the exact one in the picture above.</p>
<p>You can find her Nintendo necklace (and many other cool original pieces, like these <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=6803809">Pac-man earrings</a>) over on <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=102270">Etsy</a> for $45.</p>
