Asian Tiger

I am currently in the midst of a project where a brand new office is being setup in Jakarta. The office is situated right smack in the middle of Jakarta’s Central Business District; also where traffic is the heaviest (based on my experience).

Though my scope of work is quite limited to information technology consultancy, I was drawn to their interior designer’s proposed office layout perspective. Call me curious or call me a busybody but one thing stood out like a sore thumb — the computers are to be placed on top of the workstation desks right next to the LCD monitors.

I tried minding my own business but eventually, I had to inform the owner that a simple device like the CPU dolly can easily help enhance the overall office aesthetics especially when the office is located in the CBD and corporate image is important. I’m glad that my client was open to such comments and immediately got her interior designers to include the cheap apparatus into their designs.

A little investment goes a long way.

One of the common things that humans hate to do besides bungy-jumping is housework. The thought of cleaning the house will simply cause the average Joe to looks for even the darnest excuse to avoid it. It is because of this that the people behind Elextrolux vacuum cleaners invented the Tribolit.

The idea behind the invention is not only to relieve your home chores but also to free up your time for more quality time. Comparing the Trobolit to the traditional Elextrolux vacuum cleaners, this invention is both revolutionary and evolutionary.  The dawn of robotics have arrived for mankind but the price tag is something that the average Joe can ill-afford.

As in any market, competition is good; for the consumers that is. More companies are coming up with their version of robotic vacuum cleaners; examples being the iRobot, KoolVac and RoboMaid. With more players in the market, it certainly will push prices down for robotic vacuum cleaners.

Don’t be fooled by some manufacturers that claim that their robots will be able to suck dirt off your floor.  Unlike the makers of Elextrolux vacuum cleaners, where the Tribolit is able to scan your floor space and remember the areas that have not been cleaned.  It can also charge itself if its battery runs low.  Some manufacturers so-called robotic vacuum cleaners merely bumps itself of walls and swirls around like a toy.
Robotics vacuum cleaner is certainly a must-have for families where both the spouses work or if you own a large home. I believe that in the near future, more robots will be introduced into our homes so that we can lead quality lives.

Worried about your privacy being encroached? Want to save yourself from potential embarrassment? Worried that public areas such as changing rooms are fixed with spy cameras? We all do not want to be the victim of voyeurism and therefore we must protect ourselves.

If you travel a lot and stay from hotel to hotel, protect yourself by getting one of these spy camera detectors. This gadget is shaped as a pen which makes carrying around easy and help you not to forget. Simply pack the iTeki Wireless Camera Detector Pen in your suitcase and leave it there. This potential “embarrassment-saver” will then be with you whenever you travel. It’s not expensive (USD16), so you can buy one for each suitcase that you own.

This pen is simple to use. Simply point the pen around the hotel room or any private areas or better still, walk along furnitures and walls as well as places where spy cameras can potentially be placed. If a wireless spy camera is detected, the pen’s tip will emit colourful flashes. Now, protect yourself.
