Tech Dining

Author: Alex  |  Category: Food


When you fuse food and technology together, you get a whole new dining experience. Well… a London-based restaurant did just that by launching Inamo, a pan-Asian restaurant that has gone away with the traditional printed menu.


To replace the printed menu, an illustrated menu is projected onto the diners’ touch-sensitive table where diners can select their food. Once selected, diners can use the touch-table to watch a live feed of their chefs at work.Diners can even personalize the decor of their dining booth by selecting sounds and animated, projected table ‘cloths’.


So wait no more, go to your nearest Plano dentist to get your teeth nice and shiny, put on your best suit and take your date to Inamo during Valentines.

For those of you who have held a barcode scanner to scan an item to get the price of an item, you will notice how dull looking the barcodes are. However, a Japanese Design Barcode took an innovative step to turn standard bar codes into something more interesting.


Traditional rectangular looking bar codes are redesigned to something cute and more meaningful. From animal designs to buildings, Design Barcode has ingeniously incorporated the elements of their clients’ business into the bar code designs.


This is just one example of how simple and boring things can be turned totally opposite.

Power Generation Ball

I could not resist sharing this with all of you. This invention is a remarkable example of how we can harness kinetic energy from our daily activities.


Football is nothing new to everybody and almost everybody I know is into the game, either as an audience or an active player. A group of Harvard University invented sOccket, a football that turns energy from a kick into electricity. Basically, it works with inductive coil technology, similar to that found in flashlights that power up when shaken. It is estimated that for each 15 minutes of play, it can store enough energy to power a small LED light for three hours. This portable energy-harvesting device can even e used to charge lights, cell phones and batteries.


Well, how about trying to invent something to capture the energy dissipated from your ps3 wireless controllers?

Funeral Photography

Author: Alex  |  Category: Services

It is no surprise to find many photographers out there competing for jobs in this small market. However, for those who has already carved a name for themselves, they can earn a decent living by taking shots for wedded couples. However, I have not come across who only specializes in funeral photography.


However, companies such as Progravix.com does do quite well with the offerings they have that includes taking remembrance videos for the deceased. There are many wedding photographers that doubles up as wedding planners. Why not throw in a funeral planning service as well and you might just found yourself a niche.

Online Wedding Photosharing

For those who does not know who Mark Zuckerberg is, he is basically the founder of Facebook who has make millions from his online social networking websites. There’s no denying that online business has huge potential. Well, I would like to share you another concept that you can consider doing.


Introducing Olapic a startup that allows users to gather, share and print guests’ pictures on a wedding day. It is common that couples hire professional wedding photographer during this special but Olapic is basically trying to encourage guest to share their photos which they took personally especially those that captured a perfect moment. A wedding photographer can only be one place at a time and may missed out on some golden opportunities.


Couples begin by creating a profile on Olapic and uploading email addresses of their guests. Olapic will then remind everyone to bring their cameras before the wedding date. Once the wedding is over, the site will stay in touch with guests via emails and cards to remind them to upload their pictures.


I personally think this could be a winner knowing for a fact that every couple wants to remember as much as they can and also to see what they missed out from the eyes and cameras of their friends and relatives. So… wait no more. Start you website community portal and get the best seo software to start marketing your website.

Laughing Yoga

A quick look at depression treatment reviews will show you a list of what you can do to address depression problems. But is there is more interesting way to get rid of depression? Well, I was once told that laughter is the best medicine. So, it is no surprise someone combined laughing into some form of excercise.


Introducing Laughing Yoga. A doctor from Mumbai, India, first incorporated laughter into yoga practice in a laughter club in 1995 while studying the health benefits of laughter. Since then, more than 5,000 laughter clubs have formed in more than 50 countries. Generally, sessions start with a good stretch and some deep breathing. Laughter is simulated in a group with eye staring and playfulness, developing into real and contagious laughter. This form of exercise is created with a combination of laughing and yoga breathing technique and the purpose is to bring more oxygen to the body and the brain. Laughter yoga is based on the assumption that the body cannot differentiate between fake and real laughter, and that their physiological and psychological benefits are thus identical.


Lets start one here.

Not too sure how may of you out there who actually has broken a bone in the past and end up with a plaster cast on your legs or your hands for days, weeks or maybe even months. Imagine having gone through a great deal of pain only to end up going through a great deal of shame. However, what if we can turn the ugly cast into a fashion statement.


Well, Casttoo, a Colorado firm did just that by transforming these plain casts into graphic works of art. Casttoo’s cast are crafted from an adhesive film that fuses with the plaster cast in seconds when blasted with a hot hairdryer. Many designs are made available based on themes ranging from fantastical creatures, flower, animals, and etc. 


Skin art, skin tattoo or skin id is something that is already common but cast art is definitely something quite recent. Maybe this is something you can venture into?

For those who has an interest in construction and renovation business, the business can be quite exciting and rewarding. This is because renovation work can be very stressful for household owners especially if they are doing it on their own. Its a sure way to lose some inches of your waist. You won’t be needing any products from stomachfatloss.org.


However, the market can be quite competitive unless you can create a niche for yourself. Ruby Slippers, a U-based renovation company came up with the concept of Ageless design™ to help people enjoy living independently in their own homes for as long as possible. It takes account of ageing in an invisible way, incorporating simple, smart design features into the home to create a beautiful and stylish home environment that reflects the way we live today but ensures we have a safe and comfortable home for years to come.


This is actually a fantastic idea.

Cube Hotels

Author: Alex  |  Category: Hospitality and Tourism


My very first posting was on Tune Hotel, a no-frills hotel that provides hotel rooms at a very affordable rate. Well, a Dutch by the name of Qbic came up with a more interesting no-frills concept while at the same time offers guests a new hotel experience.


Instead of having typical rooms, this hotel offers everything a guest might need inside a seven square meter cube. The cube comes fully equipped with high-quality bed, desk, AV equipments, designer bathroom, and etc. I believe this concept can be a success where space is a constraint. Qbic’s founder, Paul Rinkens, aims to franchise the concept so for those who are interested, maybe you should drop him an email. If you adopt an insurance marketing strategy for this hotel concept, you may achieve your success quickly.

Quartz Kitchen Top

Author: Alex  |  Category: Lifestyle


I believe most of you are familiar with Granite or resin material that are used for kitchen and bathroom counter tops. Have you heard of quartz material that are used for kitchen tops?


Founded in 1987 in the US, CaesarStone was an early pioneer of the natural quartz surfaces market. CaeserStone is basically made of 93% crushed quartz which is one of nature’s hardest minerals. The quartz is combined with high-quality polymer resins and pigments and then compacted under intense vibration, vacuum, and pressure into dense, non-porous slabs. Used together with kitchen or bathroom sinks, it adds a touch of elegance to the design.


Currently, this material is relatively new in Malaysia. For those who are in the carpentry and bathroom refurbishment business, maybe this is something for you to offer to your clients.
