Nice Bookshelf…

It is a beautifully work. I love wood shelves. It is more natural. I like the way it designs. It is simple.

You know .. it can be folded somehow… maybe not exactly folded, but it can turn to something else… I never thought of it, but it is quite interesting. Please click this image and it will take you to a new window what it looks like after.

After you look at it, does it sound a bit creepy… I think it does … but it is the idea of being creative. You can put all books in that and move… I wonder what would they think when they see one carrying to the moving truck. They might get the wrong idea…

Oh, Lord… what an interesting invention!

Does Technology gets better and better every day? There are many things that we never thought of…

You know, some people forgot their anniversary dates… well, it is a shame. But oh, well. I never forget my anniversary date. Knocking on the wood; I hope I would never forget because it is a very important day for the loved one.

But … in case if you do forget your anniversary date, you don’t worry… something will remind you…

Wait a minute, what does it do with the technology?

Ahh, yeah… now you mention that. Like I said you would not have to worry about it, because this ring, according to the technology invention, will remind you, by flashing on your ring… you can check that out below and click that image, and it will take you to the product site:

Have you ever thought of it? I have not. It is amazing. It is a nice ring. Simple and beautiful. Maybe it is a disadvantage having it, because you would probably have to remove it before you shower or take a bath… Well, I have not checked if it is waterproof… but hey, it is very cool, don’t you agree?

Wonderful Tech Stuff!

I was bored … so I surf around… and this site caught my attention. Most of tech stuff are very cool. I pick three out of 108 that I would like to have. Those were winning ideas for 2006 by IDSA. They were posted on BusinessWeek Online. The specific link for all winning award images along with information can be found here. I don’t know if they have had made for the public… maybe just simply ideas for the future…

You can click on each image to view the information…

Washing and Drying Machine — I think it is a fabulous idea. Oftentimes, I forgot to put clothes out of the washer and put in the dryer. This one will do all for me, and I ready to fold and put away.

E-Rope Plug Extension – Just a cool extension. I have boring plug extensions. Those are just cool and easy to find while it lightens up. You can build any way you want – 90 degree, or 180 degree. It is fun thing to do, huh?

Plug-in Outlet – Damn, when I need to use a plug for vaccuming… sometimes, the furinture got in my way, and it is hard to plug in … this is a great design for an outlet to make the life easier, don’t you all agree?

Social Shopping and Forearm Forklift

I was stumbling upon one site that has a site that talks about Web 2.0 sites. It gives reviews of Web 2.0. It is similar to Tech Crunch, if you know about it. I enjoy reading Tech Crunch. It gives many sites that are currently beta and uses Web 2.0, such as ajax, php, and other new features, I cannot think of any more. But it is a great site. Anyway, the site I talked about is Mashable. I just discover that site this morning. If you enjoy reading TechCrunch, you will enjoy reading Mashable.

Anyway, I was reading the entry that talks about social bookmarking and shopping such as DealBundle. You can go to its own site directly here – DealBundle – Social shopping. Social sites are quite popular in these days… Not only bookmarking and shopping, but also photo sharing, like Flickr, Photobucket. I have been using social bookmarking for some quite time, such as Clipmarks and de.icio.us. Some day I will talk about social bookmarking and shopping. There are more social shopping, such as Wists, Kaboodle, Stylehive, MyPickList (not ready yet, but you can sign up when it is ready. You can read Mashable's entry on MyPickList – Product Recommendations 2.0), and lastly Zilo (a french share shopping, but it will come to US soon, according to Mashable). Of course, I click all sites. I like to explore new sites and try them out.

One caught my attention on Stylehive. One has bookmarked about the Forearm Forklift. I think it is great, but I don't see how they can carry the refrigerator with the it on the way up on the stairs. They look like it is easy to do so… Hell, i think it is a hellish job. Well, I may be weak, but hey, on the stairs.I am pretty much skeptical about it. Though, it may help a bit. But the mattress and couch, I can understand that it is great to use it. I have moved a few times, and with the mattress, it is so difficult to carry it, gosh. This Forearm forklifting will do the job! I think I want this for my next move. Thanks, Forklift! And thanks to Stylehive for allowing people to share bookmarking and shopping. You did a great job. Keep it up.

You can view pictures of what forklift looks like…
