			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Luxury phone brand Mobiado prides itself in crafting unique phones. The company was one of the first to use materials such as aluminum, wood and even <a href="http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/10/23/mobiados-grand-350-pioneer-is-fit-for-an-extraterrestrial/">meteorites</a>. Their latest design is the CPT001, a cellphone with a body carved from a single block of marble. Knowing that the company has made a phone using <em>space rock</em>, the CPT001 is tame by Mobiado&#8217;s standards.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-31159" title="mobiado_marble_cellphone" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/mobiado_marble_cellphone.jpg" alt="mobiado marble cellphone" width="600" height="369" /></p>
<p>Obviously a phone made out of marble isn&#8217;t weird enough, so the CPT001 also has solid gold buttons, with a gold mechanical watch at the bottom. The watch has of course a golden crown. The phone is also filled with gold engravings and letters. And the touchscreen? Made from a single large piece of sapphire. I think only the Creator himself is <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">entitled to own</span> <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">can afford</span> <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">can make</span> can carry the CPT001.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Forget those movies, with their glitzy CGI. If you want to see Optimus Prime really shine, you&#8217;ve got to check out this custom-made <em>Transformers</em> jewelry. This takes DIY to a whole new level.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-14059" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/tb-optprrinjewl1.jpg" alt="tb optprrinjewl1" width="520" height="462" title="tb optprrinjewl1 photo" /></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>
