Expandable table from 50cm to 200cm!

I love this, out of the way while still functional in it's shortest width, yet expandable to support the big family meals.

Remote controlled Multi-colored LED Lights

Posted by Benjamin Thong on Thursday, October 13, 2011 in light,

saw someone on renotalk mention Lumier3, costing $400 each.

Basically it's much like the following cube from LedWorks.sg. It doubles as a stool/table, awesome.

Of course, there's always a cheaper DIY option from ebay :P

Fight the heat! Smart Films and Solar Blinds/Films

Posted by Benjamin Thong on Friday, October 07, 2011 in blinds, solar,

LRT-like smart glass, except this is a film that can be installed onto any existing glass :)
Google for "smart film"

But that needs electricity to toggle. Good for indoor open toilet concept. But for windows and balconies? There's the following alternatives:

Clocks!

Posted by Benjamin Thong on Thursday, September 29, 2011 in clock,

Despite having time shown on our mobile phones, computers, scv box, tv, etc... we can't run away from the convenience and beauty of a wall clock :)

And there's no better way to get exactly what you want than making it yourself!
