			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The gals over at The House of Mouse do one thing, and one thing well. They make little tiny mice based on geeky and pop culture icons. In browsing through their collection I found hand-sewn felt rodent versions of characters from <em>Star Wars, LoTR, Harry Potter,</em> and <em>Doctor Who</em> among others.</p>

<p>My personal favorite has to be the Stormtrooper mouse, but I have to say that the Darth Vader, Jabba the Hutt and Wall-E ones are pretty awesome too. They&#8217;re each handmade by British sisters Anna and Naomi for The House of Mouse. Check out the gallery below for a bunch of their clever and funny designs:</p>

<p>Okay, did you notice that the <em>Pulp Fiction</em> collection has a Gimp mouse? Wow. And that <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>Edward Scissorhands</em></span> one is pretty great too. Want some mice in your house? Head on over to <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/TheHouseOfMouse">The House of Mouse on Etsy</a> to order your faves in time for the holidays.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This new interactive video game is aimed at kids and involves stuffing your Wii-mote down a plush animal&#8217;s throat! Fun!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-25561" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/123009_rg_wiiwaa_01.jpg" alt="123009 rg wiiwaa 01" width="600" height="403" title="123009 rg wiiwaa 01 photo" /></p>
<p>Actually, he kind of swallows it and the toy comes with the game. The game uses the stuffed animal as the game&#8217;s controller. The game is called <a href="http://zoinkgames.com/wiiwaa">Wiiwaa</a> and the Wii-mote enables the toy to become motion-sensitive. By shaking and bouncing the puppet around, kids can replicate those same movements in the digital world of the game.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-25562" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/123009_rg_wiiwaa_02.jpg" alt="123009 rg wiiwaa 02" width="600" height="333" title="123009 rg wiiwaa 02 photo" /></p>
<p>This is just the start. It can also be thrown around and a whole bunch of other movements.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-25560" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/123009_rg_wiiwaa_03.jpg" alt="123009 rg wiiwaa 03" width="600" height="333" title="123009 rg wiiwaa 03 photo" /></p>
<p>It sounds like an interesting new way of using the Wii. Parents and kids everywhere will once again be fighting over Wii-motes! Check out the full trailer below to see Wiiwaa in action:</p>

<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/plush_gameboy_nintendo.jpg" alt="plush gameboy nintendo"  title="plush gameboy nintendo photo" /></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 gameboy 2"  title="plush nintendo gameboy 2 photo" /></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>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Who says arcade cabinets need to be made out of wood and metal? Why can&#8217;t they be soft and squishy? That&#8217;s what this crafter thought when she created this fun plush Pac-Man machine.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/pac_man_stuffed.jpg" alt="pac man stuffed"  title="pac man stuffed photo" /></p>
<p>Created by <a href="http://www.ladyharvatine.com/2007/08/ladies-and-gentlemen.html">Lady Harvatine</a>, the stuffed arcade machine captures the spirit of some of my fondest arcade memories. Inspired by these most <a href="http://wayoftherodent.com/pa/pa_staff.htm">excellent papercraft arcade creations</a>, she set off to create her own unique spin on the arcade classic. The centerpiece of the squishy system has to be the piece of retro Pac-Man fabric that a friend of hers scrounged up for the screen.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/dog_on_pac-man_plush.jpg" alt="dog on pac man plush"  title="dog on pac man plush photo" /></p>
<p>Affectionately known as &#8220;Pac-y&#8221;, the plush arcade machine has a stuffed joystick and two coin slots that actually will eat your coins (there&#8217;s a zipper in the back that lets you retrieve your money).</p>
<p>The machine is the first of the Lady&#8217;s &#8220;Harvacade&#8221; collection. I&#8217;m hoping for some <em>Donkey Kong</em> or <em>Dig Dug</em> next.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Did you cut your teeth dropping every last quarter of your allowance into arcade machines back in the 80s? Here&#8217;s a little something to bring back those memories whenever parked on your couch or reclining in your La-Z-Boy. Check out this great set of plush pillows of your some of your favorite arcade characters of yore.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/09/namco_plush.jpg" alt="namco plush"  title="namco plush photo" /></p>
<p>Pac-Man, his ghost pals Inky, Blinky, Pinky, Clyde, and a slightly out of place Pooka from Dig Dug are all realized in three squishy dimensions. The pillows range in size from about 8-inches to 12-inches tall, and will look great sitting there on your sectional sofa next to the cat.</p>
<p>You can pick up the whole set for $99 at <a href="http://clubnamco.com/product.php?productid=237&amp;cat=252&amp;page=1">ClubNAMCO</a>.</p>
