    What’s Old is New Again

    LG’s new TV is actually totally old school. Not only does it have a retro look, it’s actually a CRT - complete with rabbit ears and those old-fashioned knobs for changing the channel. You can even switch between color and black and white. It’s pretty, but kind of impractical.

    Lightbulb Moment

    This Pocket Light is so cool. The flip-up light bulb is powered by a tiny battery cell and the whole thing is just the size of a credit card. Originally designed by Hyun Jin Yoon and Eun Hak Lee, the design has apparently been ripped-off by and produced by an unlicensed manufacturer. Pretty Uncool. Get the whole story here.

    Run of the Mill

    I love to cook with fresh herbs, but getting them chopped always results is a huge mess for me. I can never get the leaves positioned correctly and bits of green end up all over the kitchen floor.

    I’ve also tried using a mortar and pestle, but that results in a lot of tedious hand-dish-washing. So I’m excited to try this Herb Mill from Target’s Gourmet Kitchen Shop. As a bonus, it manages to chop the leaves with out bruising them, which is certainly more than I can say for my knife technique.

    For Good Measure

    If I ever get the chance to just relax on the weekend, I really enjoy baking. This weekend, I’m thinking about making this Milk and Honey Peanut Butter Fudge recipe I found on The Kitchn. Which is also where I found the link to this fabulous looking graduated measuring cup. The largest measure I have only holds three cups and looks no where near this fabulous.

    Sound Garden

    JVC recently showed this Sound Garden concept at the Tokyo Designer’s Week. The speakers are totally green. They are powered by an internal amplifier and made of sustainable, renewable materials. But, most interestingly, you can fill the speakers with tiny Bonsais and intricate flower arrangements.
