At first glance, I thought this seafaring sports car was the underwater Lotus Esprit from <em>The Spy Who Loved Me</em>. Much to my amazement, it&#8217;s a real amphibious Lamborghini Countach built by Mike Ryan of SeaRoader.
Price: unknown, but if you have to ask, you probably can&#8217;t afford one.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Quick survey! Which would you prefer? <a href="http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=twilight+baseball+scene">Sparkly albino vampire vs. dirty raggedy vampire</a> baseball, or Jedi vs. Sith baseball? In other words, are you a young girl or are you an old nerd? Don&#8217;t say &#8220;both&#8221;. Because I have no vampire stuff right now, only these cool Drew Pearson <em>Star Wars</em> jerseys.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-6459 aligncenter" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/ahomerunthisoneis.jpg" alt="ahomerunthisoneis" width="520" height="520" /></p>
<p>These cotton knit baseball jerseys from Drew Pearson Marketing feature the strongest of the strong in <em>Soul Calibur</em>. I meant in Star Wars. The <a href="http://cargobay.starwars.com/webapps/cargobay/item-detail/16406" target="_blank">Jedi jersey&#8217;s</a> number is done in felt applique,while the letters are in tackle twill with satin stitch embroidery. I don&#8217;t know what that means but you might. What&#8217;s weird though is that the only available  sizes are M, L, XL and XXL. Come on Drew Pearson Marketing. Yoda is XXXS. A bit of respect here.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-6460 aligncenter" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/iamyourcatcher.jpg" alt="iamyourcatcher" width="520" height="520" /></p>
<p>If you like playing for the dark side, then the <a href="http://cargobay.starwars.com/webapps/cargobay/item-detail/16404" target="_blank">Sith jersey</a> is for you. It&#8217;s also a cotton knit jersey with all numbers and letters done in felt applique. Both Sith and Jedi jerseys have &#8220;official woven loop&#8221; <em>Star Wars</em> labels on them. What makes the label official? I don&#8217;t know. Trade Federation approval?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-6461 aligncenter" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/forcepuckdownyourthroat.jpg" alt="forcepuckdownyourthroat" width="520" height="520" /></p>
<p>The <a href="http://cargobay.starwars.com/webapps/cargobay/item-detail/18429" target="_blank">Vader hockey</a> jersey is more Dark Side-y than the baseball one. It has &#8220;flaming Vader&#8221; graphics, and on the sleeves there are tiny &#8220;Sith League&#8221; logos set off by metal studs. And on the front is a mugshot of a genocidal man.</p>
<p>For those who prefer a game of hoops, and by that I mean either 2k9 or Live, I have two words for you: <a href="http://cargobay.starwars.com/webapps/cargobay/item-detail/16401" target="_blank">Rocket Pack</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-6462 aligncenter" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/idareyoutoblockme.jpg" alt="idareyoutoblockme" width="520" height="520" /></p>
<p>All of the uniforms sell for $110, except for the Fett one which goes for $100. There are also football jerseys and a Dark Side basketball jersey. Force click the link below to see them all.</p>
<p>Okay just click the link with your puny mouse.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Too cheap to buy a Nintendo Wii? Then look no further than the latest Wii knock-off to find its way from the streets of China.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-3410 aligncenter" title="v_sports_wii_clone" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/v_sports_wii_clone.jpg" alt="V-Sports Wii Clone" width="520" height="405" /></p>
<p>The <a href="http://rumdes.com/en/productsview.asp?id=222">V-Sports console</a> from Hong Kong electronics outfit Rumdes does its best to copy the motion controller concept of Wii Sports, but without any of those pesky Nintendo games. The cheapie game system <a href="http://bestgear.jp/chinese_appliances/chinese_appliances_20080515.html">retails for just ¥8000</a> in Japan (about $74 USD) and comes packed with 11 sports games that use the included motion controller, making it even more of a bargain basement deal.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-3411 aligncenter" title="v_sports_11_1_games" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/v_sports_11_1_games.jpg" alt="V-Sports Wii Clone Games" width="520" height="614" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">And if you act now, the console comes with an additional 10 arcade and puzzle games to keep your mind and reflexes sharp.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-3412 aligncenter" title="v_sports_10_1_games" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/v_sports_10_1_games.jpg" alt="" width="520" height="721" /></p>
<p>From what I can tell, the console plays what are old 16-bit games, modified to take advantage of a rudimentary wireless motion controller. And unlike the real Wii, the V comes in three colors: white, blue and pink, so there&#8217;s one each for boys, girls, and everyone in between.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-3413 aligncenter" title="v_sports_controllers_wii_cl" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/v_sports_controllers_wii_cl.jpg" alt="V-Sports Wii Clone Controllers" width="520" height="505" /></p>
<p>With a real Wii retailing for $249, I suppose you could buy 3 of these instead, but I have a funny feeling that V-Sports console will be less than 1/3rd the fun.</p>

<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/wii_18_in_1_kit.jpg" alt="Wii 18-in-1 Sports Kit" /></p>
<p>This 18-in-1 Wii Sports accessory kit comes with a pair of tennis rackets, a steering wheel, pool cue, golf club, baseball bat, a joypad holster and myriad other add-ons for your console.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With Spring training just a couple of months away, here&#8217;s a great gift idea for the baseball fan in your life. This new wireless device sits anywhere in your home or office, and provides baseball scores without a computer.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/ambient_baseball_scorecast.jpg" alt="Ambient Baseball ScoreCast" /></p>
<p>The new <a href="http://www.ambientdevices.com">Ambient Devices</a> Baseball ScoreCast receives a digital radio-frequency broadcast to update with the latest scores every half-inning. It&#8217;ll even tell your the current standings for your team&#8217;s division as they race towards the Pennant.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/ambient_baseball_scorecast_iso.jpg" alt="Ambient Baseball ScoreCast" /></p>
<p>Keep in mind that Ambient&#8217;s wireless data network covers only 90% of the U.S., so be sure to <a href="http://map.myambient.com/">check coverage</a> before buying. Expect the device to hit stores just in time for the 2008 baseball season for about $125.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Remember the arcade classic <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Track_&amp;_Field_(arcade_game)"><em>Track &amp; Field</em></a>? Well Konami has updated the game and turned it into one of those games that just hooks up to your TV.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/track_field_controller.jpg" alt="Track and Field Challenge Controller" /></p>
<p>Instead of the blister-inducing button mashing of the 1980s arcade game, the new <em>Track &amp; Field Challenge</em> actually comes with a two-player foot controller mat that makes you actually work up a sweat when you play.</p>
<p align="center"> <img src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/track_field_challenge.gif" alt="Track and Field Challenge Screenshots" /></p>
<p>There are ten different events including the 100m dash, long jump, javelin throw, hurdles and more. The game will even track how many calories you&#8217;ve burned when you play.</p>
<p>So if you need to get some exercise, and just can&#8217;t wait for <a href="http://technabob.com/blog/2007/08/06/wii-fit-price-and-release-date-revealed/">Wii Fit</a> to hit shelves early next year, <em>Track &amp; Field Challenge</em> is available from <a href="http://www.konami.com/Konami/ctl3810/cp20109/si2633159/cl1/track__field_challenge">Konami</a> now, and it&#8217;s a steal at just under 30 bucks.</p>
