When I look at MirrorMedia.com and Séura, Inc. producing this cool gadget, I think it’s such a sweet invention to share with, especially if you are an interior design fan, or just a design fan like myself!

It’s basically an LCD TV hidden in the mirror, it’s camouflaging really well so that when it’s not on it’s plainly look just like a mirror, but if you press the on button, then it will start displaying that hidden LCD, it can be for a TV or for a media (as in for computer’s screen)

I find it quite useful if you like a clutter free environment. Because to be honest, TV isn’t an easy item to be incorporated in a good clean-type interor design/staging, especially in a living room that encorporate a fire place to be feature as its focal point.

There’s even another cool TV it’s called a holographic TV look at the picture bellow and for more info read here.

I think this is a necessity for those who love to reads and hate clutters =)
The good thing about it is you can hold so many books but won’t let you have the clutter, especially if you only have a little space to spare. To summarize all the feature in brief I guess pin points will be:

1. Paper-like Screen
2. Wireless Access with Whispernet™ (You won’t get that monthly bill, it’s included)
3. Only 10.3 Ounces
4. Shop the Kindle Store Right from Your Device
5. Search - easy to search your library, just use the keyboard feature and search
6. Built-in Dictionary & Wikipedia access
7. Adjustable Text Size

There’s a talk about kindle v 2.0, find out more pictures and mock-up models here: http://www.blogkindle.com/2008/02/kindle-v20/

Above illustrates one of the many mock-up of kindle v 2.0 ideas

After doing some research on Teflon non-stick cooking pans and equipments, I have decided to change to Cast Iron cooking pans.

Why spend so much money on “Copper” or “Three-ply” cooking equipment that is heavily advertised with professional chefs, as those pans use “aluminum” and “copper” which may not be good for human?

Instead just get a plain “cast iron” pan without the enamel, paints, or any other additions - I got mine for $30.00 .

Why Cast Iron pans?

• Teflon-coated aluminum contains perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), a synthetic chemical used in its production, creating its soap-like slipperiness and non-stick finish. PFOA has become very controversial because of health dangers linked to it.
• In a laboratory and anecdotal experiences, vapor from Teflon-pan exposed to high heat produces vapor that kill birds instantly in vicinity.
• Aluminium cooking pans are also not recommended, because of the link between aluminium and Alzheimer’s desease. Aluminum is a strongly suspected causal factor in Alzheimer’s disease (AD)
