			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Alright I’m sorry guys but this isn’t technology related at all, it’s just so funny I had to share it.</p>
<p>Granted, someone will need to die before you can purchase this gift, however if you’re willing to wait than you too could brighten someone’s day with this pencil box full of pencils made out of human carbon. You also get the deceased’s name printed on the side of each pencil as you can see from the screenshot.</p>
<p>This is the brainchild of <a href="http://www.nadinejarvis.com/biography/">Nadine Jarvis</a> who likes to create death inspired design work, or ‘work in post mortem’ if you prefer. </p>
<p>That’s not all though, you don’t just use these pencils until their gone, the box is designed so just one pencil can be removed at a time and are sharpened back into the box so it becomes an urn for the remains.</p>
<p> <span id="more-8223"></span>
<p>If you would like to be useful even after dying than perhaps this is the way to go.<img src="http://www.37signals.com/svn/images/carbon-copy-pencil.png" width="530" height="385" /></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>TV Series Papercraft can be seen as an addition to the Cubeecraft <a href="http://www.ghacks.net/2008/05/16/cubeecraft-papercraft-toys/">Papercraft</a> series. Papercrafts are little toys that come on paper. They have to be printed, cut out and assembled which is where most of the fun lies. Cubeecraft had some wonderful designs like Iron Man, Stromtroopers, Indiana Jones and as their latest edition the Vault Boy from Fallout.</p>
<p>TV Series Papercraft concentrates on popular tv series like 24, Lost or Prison Break and delivers some interesting looking designs of popular characters of those series. If you look at the 24 category you find papercrafts for Jack Bauer, Tony Almeida, David Palmer and Mike Novik among others. Each tv series contains several character designs which can all be downloaded and printed without additional costs.</p>
<p>The site has a interesting vintage tv series category with stars from the past including Magnum, CJ from Baywatch, Michael Knight from Knight Rider and B.A. Baracus from the A-Team.</p>
<p><span id="more-6818"></span><img src="http://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/papercraft-500x441.jpg" alt="" title="papercraft" width="500" height="441" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-6819" /></p>
<p>The process is always the same. The visitor picks a design he wants, clicks on the download button next to it which will display the design as a jpg image on the screen. That image has to be printed. Once it is printed the user has to cut it according to its plans and assemble it so that it resembles the tv star. A great addition to the Cubeecraft collection.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Something interesting for the weekend. If you feel that the usual retail usb sticks are to boring you might want to give designing your own a try. You can do that at the <a href="http://www.fabidoo.com/en">Fabidoo</a> website which not only offers the creation of unique usb sticks but all kinds of like animals or hearts which would probably make a great gift for loved ones.</p>
<p>Back to the usb sticks. The customer can pick one of the colorful templates and edit that or start the process with a white usb stick. The sticks can be rotated, zoomed in and out, opened and looked at from every possible direction.</p>
<p>It is then possible to change the colors of all the parts, apply text, upload images and frames to create fantastic looking usb sticks. Just look at some of the results, they look really great.</p>
<p><span id="more-6792"></span><img src="http://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/custom_usb_stick1.jpg" alt="custom usb stick" title="custom usb stick" width="198" height="242" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-6798" /><img src="http://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/custom_usb_stick2.jpg" alt="" title="custom_usb_stick2" width="234" height="227" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-6794" /><img src="http://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/custom_usb_stick31.jpg" alt="" title="custom_usb_stick31" width="156" height="234" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-6799" /><img src="http://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/custom_usb_stick41.jpg" alt="" title="custom_usb_stick41" width="191" height="241" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-6801" /></p>
<p>The company is using a specialized 3D printer to create those custom usb sticks and other products.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m pretty astonished that I never heard about fake gift boxes before, at least not ones that you could purchase in stores. I fell trap to custom ones more than once though but those gift boxes raise it to a whole new level. They look really professional and one could think that they are the real thing.</p>
<p>Currently four of those gift boxes are <a href="http://store.theonion.com/gift-boxes-set-of-4-p-68.html" target="_blank">available</a>: A Pro Whisk Set with 28 whisks, the Visor Organizer which turns the head into another pocket, the Smoke Alarm with custom sounds ranging from sounds of the rainforest to Dixieland tunes and last but not least the Auto Power Strip which is a electronic hub placed directly under the rear mirror of the car.</p>
<p>I simply had to write about these, forgive me, hehe.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a target="_blank" title="etsy" href="http://www.etsy.com/index.php">Etsy</a> is a website where people can buy and sell (only) homemade goods. Everything is neatly categorized and accessible through various innovative methods such as colors where you choose a color and the site displays everything that is offered in that color. Anyways there is also the traditional way of clicking through categories like Furniture, Children and Weddings.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t expect to find anything mainstream at Etsy, most stuff looks pretty unique and would probably make great presents for close ones. The toy section will its dolls looks nice and the teddy bears and dolls would surely make children happy. Most sellers seem to come from the United States but some Europeans seem to also use Etsy to sell their wares.</p>
<p><span id="more-1071"></span>Oh, they also got a <a target="_blank" title="etsy handmade bags purses" href="http://www.etsy.com/category_top.php?top_tag=bags_and_purses">bags and purses</a> category. Any women left on my site ? Just kidding. How about <a target="_blank" title="etsy shoes handmade" href="http://www.etsy.com/category_sub.php?tags=clothing.shoes">shoes</a> ? Knew i got the last one with this one, hehe. <a href="http://www.pastryshoes.net/">Pastry Shoes</a> are also very nice.</p>
<p>What can I say. Etsy is a real nice site and I surely will use it to buy presents to women and children (mainly) in the future. Let me know what you think of this.</p>
