			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When not telling time, these clever clocks look like a triangular hunk of wood. But switch them on, and a bright red 7-segment LED display hidden behind the thin wood veneer reveals the current time.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-5285 aligncenter" title="wood_led_triangle_clock" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/wood_led_triangle_clock.jpg" alt="wood led triangle clock" width="520" height="501" /></p>
<p>These aren&#8217;t the first clocks I&#8217;ve seen that pull off this illusion, but what makes these ones unique is their stylish angular face design, which makes them easy to read whether standing up or sitting down. As an added bonus, the clocks display not just the time, but also the date and temperature.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-5286 aligncenter" title="wood_led_triangle_clock_2" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/wood_led_triangle_clock_2.jpg" alt="wood led triangle clock 2" width="520" height="469" /></p>
<p>The clocks measure in at 8.25&#8243; x 3.5&#8243; x 3.5&#8243; (21 x 9 x 9 cm) and come with an 110v &#8211; 240v A/C adapter, so they should work worldwide. LED Wood Triangle Clocks are available in either a dark and light wood veneer finish and can be found over at <a href="http://www.homeloo.com/shop/product_info.php?products_id=358">HOMELOO</a> for $39 USD.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As much as I love the minimal design of the Nintendo Wii, sometimes I find the whole white plastic thing a little boring. That&#8217;s why I love this concept for a Wii woodgrain paneling update.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-3837 aligncenter" title="wii_wood_mod_concept" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/wii_wood_mod_concept.jpg" alt="wii wood mod concept" width="520" height="559" /></p>
<p>Currently just a <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/joefxd/2632663024/">concept design by Joe D!</a>, his mod envisions a layer of woodgrain veneer (probably just vinyl decals) for all of his Wii controllers. From the Wii-Mote to the Nunchuk to the Classic Controller and even they Nyko Perfect Shot &#8211; they all get wood. Not only that, the controllers get some bright white backlit buttons and a nice black paint job to bring out the woody goodness.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-3838 aligncenter" title="wii_wood_mod_2" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/wii_wood_mod_2.jpg" alt="wii wood mod 2" width="520" height="438" /></p>
<p>It only leaves me wondering what sort of look he has planned for the Wii itself. No word on if or when Joe will bring his concept to fruition, but I&#8217;ll be sure to post photos of the real deal if and when he does.</p>
