Little garden doing well

Lyn (my boo) must have been doing something right to our pot of edible plants lately. After our first reap and side salad experiences, we harvested yet another lovely batch of veges for our takeaway lunch this week. At the rate things are going, I think she is ready to kick off more of such projects with other types of edible stuff (especially with a bigger space) once our new home is done.

We have some really grand plans with the home renovation and the planning phase is taking a little longer than we expect. At the rate things are going, I’m thinking maybe (just maybe) early November…aye..I digress once again.. :lol:

LED TVs these days are anorexic

It has been a while since I kept myself up to date with technology, so do forgive me if this is really old news. Lyn (my boo) and I were shopping at Millenia Walk’s Harvey Norman for a suitable dishwasher yesterday and chanced upon this huge 44″ LED TV by Samsung. Normally I wouldn’t pay any mind to it given that slim LEDs are the latest in television technology (yes and 3D too), but somehow, I felt this one was a little more special. I took a peek at the side and true enough, the slimmest LED television I’ve ever seen. According to Samsung, 0.3″…perhaps the width of your average pen…and it is 3D ready too. 8-O

Now how Samsung manage to shove all the HD goodness with 3D into something so slim, I’ll never understand. What I do know is that at about S$15,999 (if my memory serves me right), I think I’ll concentrate on something old for my new home…like the fat LCDs :-P .

After note: Turns out that I am about six months late. T3 at CES 2010 (sometime in January me thinks) covered the Samsung LED 9000…drool~
