			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ladies and gentlemen: World Peace is within our reach, thanks to d*light. Designed by Diana Lin, d*light is a &#8220;combination of ambient lighting and cushion&#8221;, a benevolent matrimony of woven polyester and SMD LEDs. It provides a soft light and just the right amount of warmth, such that even the Devil himself will repent and come back to the arms of the Maker after hugging d*light.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-21744" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/d-light-pillow-1.jpg" alt="d-light-pillow-1" width="600" height="600" /></p>
<p>d*light can be plugged in via a 6-volt AC adapter, but it makes more sense to power it with 4 AA batteries, in which case it will bring endless joy and eternal hope for up to 4 hours. As proof of the messianic love power of the pillow, 5 d*lights were placed next to the remains of Stalin and Hitler. Here&#8217;s what happened to the two genocidal tyrants after a few minutes:</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-21745" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/d-light-pillow-2.jpg" alt="d-light-pillow-2" width="600" height="445" /></p>
<p>That&#8217;s right: they came back to life as a couple of peaceful, harmless, small talk-loving women. The holy pillow is available in Original White, Hot Sun Pink and Sunset Gold, and can be yours for $160 (USD) at the newly-opened <a href="http://store.yankodesign.com/diana-lin-d-light-huggable-pillow">Yanko Design Store</a>. Praise d*light!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What better way could there be to protect your precious Apple iPhone from damage than to put it inside another slightly larger iPhone &#8211; one made from soft felt.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-18644  aligncenter" title="felt_iphone_case" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/felt_iphone_case.jpg" alt="felt_iphone_case" width="600" height="450" /></p>
<p>That&#8217;s exactly what you&#8217;ll get when you pick up one of these whimsical handmade mobile device cases that looks just like an iPhone. Each one is lovingly handstitched by L´atelier de Luluu, and made from multiple layers of thick protective felt to keep your gadgets good as new.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-18646  aligncenter" title="iphone_felt_case_2" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/iphone_felt_case_2.jpg" alt="iphone_felt_case_2" width="600" height="679" /></p>
<p>But as you can see from the photo below, this cushy case won&#8217;t just hold iPhones. From what I can tell, that&#8217;s some sort of LG Smartphone lurking inside there like a high-tech hermit crab that stole the shell off a prematurely deceased gadget. Or like <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQb2m6VJ-eo">Buffalo Bill</a> wearing a victim&#8217;s skin in <em>The Silence of the Lambs</em> for you sickos out there.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-18645  aligncenter" title="felt_iphone_case_lg_smartph" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/felt_iphone_case_lg_smartph.jpg" alt="felt_iphone_case_lg_smartph" width="600" height="504" /></p>
<p>And if you&#8217;d rather pull the old reverse-double-switcheroo, you could always cloak your iPhone inside this felt Samsung Instinct instead.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-18648  aligncenter" title="felt_samsung_instinct" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/felt_samsung_instinct.jpg" alt="felt_samsung_instinct" width="600" height="450" /></p>
<p>You can find these quirky iPhone cases and others over at <a href="http://latelierdeluluu.etsy.com">L´atelier de Luluu</a> over on Etsy.</p>

<p>As shown in the picture above, these miniature felt PlayStation controllers look perfect hanging from your Sony PSP (or even better yet on your Nintendo DS). Created by textile artist RabbitRampage, each keychain-size controller is handsewn from felt and stuffed with fiberfill &#8211; just like your real PlayStation controller, except for the fiberfill and the felt parts.</p>
<p>They&#8217;re available in both PS1 (grey) and PS2 (black) versions over at <a href="http://rabbitrampage.etsy.com">RabbitRampage&#8217;s Etsy shop</a> for just $7 (USD) each.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>That R2-D2 is one talented little droid. Not only can he project holographic distress messages from Princess Leia, he can <a href="http://technabob.com/blog/2007/09/24/r2-d2-grinds-out-fresh-a-pepp-a/">grind pepper</a>, <a href="http://technabob.com/blog/2007/10/17/r2-d2-speakers-play-more-than-beeps-and-blips/">play tunes</a>, <a href="http://technabob.com/blog/2008/10/26/r2-d2-cookie-jar-chocolate-chips-and-microchips/">serve cookies</a>, and <a href="http://technabob.com/blog/2008/08/27/r2-d2-fridge-cool/">keep your drinks cool</a>, and now he can even help you wipe your butt.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-6100 aligncenter" title="r2-d2_toilet_paper" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/r2-d2_toilet_paper.jpg" alt="R2-D2 Toilet Paper Cover Dispenser" width="520" height="648" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">According the the Japanese maker of this plush R2-D2, it&#8217;s designed to dispense &#8220;roll tissue&#8221;, which is a nice way of saying &#8220;toilet paper&#8221;. Measuring in at (8.66&#8243; H x 7.87&#8243; W x 4.92&#8243; D) it&#8217;s a little big for conventional American T.P. rolls, there&#8217;s really no reason why you can&#8217;t use it with just about any paper product that comes on a roll.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-6099 aligncenter" title="r2-d2_tissue_dispenser" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/r2-d2_tissue_dispenser.jpg" alt="R2-D2 Roll Tissue Cover Dispenser" width="520" height="519" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">So if your <a href="http://flickr.com/photos/basykes/712733065"><em>Star Wars</em> themed bathroom</a> is just dying for the perfect new accessory, you can pre-order an R2-D2 paper caddy over at <a href="http://www.shopncsx.com/r2-d2rolltissuecover.aspx ">NCSX</a> for ¥2800 (appx. $33.90 USD).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There&#8217;s no reason that the pillows on your couch have to be square, round or rectangular. Why shouldn&#8217;t they reflect your <em>Star Wars</em> addiction like anything else?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-3068 aligncenter" title="plush_r2-d2" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/plush_r2-d2.jpg" alt="R2-D2 Plush Dolls" width="520" height="520" /></p>
<p>These plush versions of classic characters from the <em>Star Wars</em> universe are just too cool. From the squishy R2-D2 to the scruffy Chewbacca and blobby-headed Boba Fett, you need these in your house.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-3072 aligncenter" title="chewbacca_boba_plush" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/chewbacca_boba_plush.jpg" alt="Chewbacca and Boba Fett Plush" width="520" height="460" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">At about 7-inches tall each, I guess they&#8217;re not quite big enough to serve as pillows, but they&#8217;re great as an accent on your sofa, bed or just lying around your room.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-3071 aligncenter" title="darth_vader_trooper_plush" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/darth_vader_trooper_plush.jpg" alt="Darth Vader and Clone Trooper Plush" width="520" height="419" /></p>
<p>Even one Yoda gets.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-3070 aligncenter" title="yoda_plush" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/yoda_plush.jpg" alt="Plush Yoda" width="520" height="457" /></p>
<p>The whole collection is available over on <a href="http://www.entertainmentearth.com/hitlist.asp?searchfield=star+wars+plush&amp;eeshop=&amp;x=0&amp;y=0">Entertainment Earth</a> for about $13 a piece.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was buzzing about over on the wonderful world of <a href="http://www.etsy.com">Etsy</a> today, when I came across these absolutely awesome plush versions of popular portable electronic gadgets. French textile artist <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5889486">Kmila Rodz</a> handcrafts these super special soft systems using felt, needle and thread, with a just a dash of love thrown in.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2665" title="plush_ds_lite_kmilarodz" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/plush_ds_lite_kmilarodz.jpg" alt="Plush Nintendo DS Lite by KmilaRodz" width="520" height="447" /></p>
<p>From the wonderfully whimsical folding Nintendo DS Lite (complete with stuffed stylus and a game of New Super Mario Bros. on the dual screens), to her squishy iPhone clone, I can&#8217;t decide which one I like the best. (I&#8217;m not sure what that plush Sushi roll is doing there, but it looks tasty alongside the iPhone).</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2666" title="plush_iphone_kmilarodz" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/plush_iphone_kmilarodz.jpg" alt="Plush iPhone by Kmila Rodz" width="520" height="371" /></p>
<p>Feeling retro? Kmila has also created this beautiful Nintendo Gameboy, playing a game of <em>Tetris</em> on its faux &#8220;LCD&#8221; screen. (There&#8217;s even a little <em>Tetris</em> &#8220;cartridge&#8221; sticking out of the back when you flip it over).</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2667" title="plush_gameboy_kmilarodz" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/plush_gameboy_kmilarodz.jpg" alt="Plush Gameboy by KmilaRodz" width="520" height="368" /></p>
<p>Want to get your grubby little hands on these wondrous plush playthings? You&#8217;d better head on over to <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5889486">Kmila&#8217;s Etsy shop</a> before they&#8217;re all gone.</p>

There&#8217;s nothing that says &#8220;I still live in mom&#8217;s basement&#8221; more than a watch that can do math. But if you wear one of these, you probably can already calculate pi to 100 digits&#8230;]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>While there are many symbols of true geekdom, it&#8217;s possible that none is more iconic than the classic <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calculator_watch">Casio calculator watch</a>. There&#8217;s nothing that says &#8220;I still live in mom&#8217;s basement&#8221; more than a watch that can do math. But if you wear one of these, you probably can already calculate pi to 100 digits in your head, so what&#8217;s the point?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2416" title="felt_calculator_watch_on" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/felt_calculator_watch_on.jpg" alt="Felt Calculator Watch by BraveMoonman" width="520" height="389" /></p>
<p>Now you can make the same fashion statement, without the need for all those pesky electronics. BraveMoonman has created these oh-so-awesome felt calculator watches so you can show your true self without worrying about batteries dying or LCD displays failing when you bump into a wall.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2417" title="felt_calculator_watch" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/felt_calculator_watch.jpg" alt="Felt Calculator Watches by BraveMoonman" width="520" height="399" /></p>
<p>Each of these soft calculator bracelets is lovingly handstitched from felt and velcro, and they come in a variety of bright colors (I don&#8217;t know what to say about the hot pink), as well as the classic grey band.</p>
<p>As the Oakland, CA creator of these non-functional timepieces says: &#8220;If people ask you for the time, say &#8216;It&#8217;s time to look cool!&#8217;&#8221;. I say: &#8220;If people ask you how much 2 + 2 equals, tell them &#8216;higher than you can count. duh.&#8217;&#8221;. So what are you waiting for? Head on over to <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5182381">BraveMoonman&#8217;s Etsy Shop</a> and wrap your wrist in one of these. Now.</p>

<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/plush_gameboy_nintendo.jpg" alt="Plush Nintendo Gameboys by KungFuCowgirl" /></p>
<p>Created by Wisconsin crafter <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=41407">KungFuCowgirl</a>, each of the squishy game systems has its own unique personality, thanks to the slight variations in each handmade Gameboy.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/plush_nintendo_gameboy_2.jpg" alt="Plush Nintendo Gameboys by KungFuCowgirl" /></p>
<p>They measure in at just a wee-bit bigger than an original Gameboy and come in red, yellow, green, pink or teal. They cost just $14 bucks a piece (so why not buy a bunch?) You can find &#8216;em over on <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=10164618">Etsy</a>.</p>

<p>FruitShop&#8217;s <a href="http://www.fruitshop.com.tw/EN/Products/pod.html">Pod Driver flash drives</a> look a whole heck of a lot like tiny iPods with faces. Thanks to their soft outer case, they contort to plug into your USB port and let you store all those files that you might not use a regular iPod for.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/pocket_pod_driver2.jpg" alt="Pod Driver iPod USB Drive" /></p>
<p>Each drive has a handy elastic strap attached for easy carrying, and is covered in a removable silicone case that&#8217;s soft to the touch. They come in three colors: black, white and pink, and should be available a little later this year. Pricing and an exact release date aren&#8217;t yet available.</p>

<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/pac_man_pillows_flip.jpg" alt="Pac-Man Pillows by Punzie" /></p>
<p>Handcrafted by New Hampshire fabric artist <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5219875">Rapunzel&#8217;s Tower</a> (aka &#8220;Punzie&#8221;), the pillows are pieced and stitched to give them the look of individual pixels from the classic ghosts of gaming past.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, this particular set of pillows (priced at $90) is already reserved for a special order, but you can surely order a custom set for yourself if you <a href="http://www.etsy.com/profile.php?user_id=5219875">contact Punzie</a> over on her Etsy page.

<p>As an added bonus, the plush console is incapable of overheating and is guaranteed to never get a case of the dreaded Red Rings of Death. And even if the console was able to freeze, you could throw it at the wall without risk of injury.</p>

<p>In fact, the battery-operated Radiobox is made using similar materials to those you&#8217;d find in a beanbag chair. The radio features a soft, faux fabric exterior and is stuffed with those little pellets that make it nice and squshy. Even the controls are concealed behind the soft exterior. From what I can tell, the only exposed element that&#8217;s not soft to the touch is the radio&#8217;s metal speaker grill.</p>
<p>The Radiobox can be found online from Dutch retailer <a href="http://www.kadocorner.nl/N_frame.html?http://www.kadocorner.nl/Semk_Draagbare_Radio__N_art_41.html">KadoCorner</a> for <font size="-1">€</font>18,75 (which is about $26 bucks stateside.)</p>
