Do you ever wonder how big a plasma TV can go? The biggest plasma television ever made was a 150-inch widescreen Panasonic TV. It stands 6 feet tall and enables viewers to watch everything life-size. It was first unveiled in Las Vegas for the International Consumer Electronic Show. Because of its huge size, the screen can only be watched from a distance of at least 30 feet.

Definitely, that is a far cry from the 58 inch plasma TV sitting in your living room. If you are chasing what is flat, big and new, then you might want to check out Samsung’s 102-inch plasma TV. This model showcases a 1920 x 1080 resolution screen with 6.4 billion colors. It may take some time before this is commercially available but the good news is it will give you time to renovate your front door to a wider measurement.

GPS means global positioning system. It consists of a group of 27 earth-orbiting satellites. Each circles the globe at about 12,000 miles making two complete rotations every day. At any time of the day, there are at least 4 satellites visible in the sky, anywhere on earth. A GPS receiver locates these satellites, figure out the distance to each and deduce its own location.

Technology changes quickly and before we know it there’s always a new gadget that everyone wants to have. Today’s music gadget of choice is the iPod. The iPod is no longer associated with teenagers.

Some sewing projects look better when they come with embroidery. If you are looking to buy one of those new embroidery machines, you have to take several things into consideration:

• Find a machine you are comfortable with. Check if there’s a training package that comes with it.
• During training, insist that you get more time spent on the machine and less time with the software. If you make a mistake with the software, you can easily reboot. But if you make a mistake with the machine, you may have to pay extra as operator error is not covered by warranty.
• Videotape your trainer’s instructions and practice on the machine while your trainer is still there to supervise you.

I exclusively breastfed my son for the first half year of his life. I believe that it is very important for his formative years that he get the best nutrition I can give him. When he turned six months, I started him on solid foods by using our blender to puree vegetables like carrots and potatoes. I introduced one food at a time to ensure that he doesn’t have any allergies to it.

At seven months, I also started him on different fruits. My mom says it is wise to start a child with veggies instead of the sweetness of fruits so he won’t learn to refuse the veggies. She’s right. My son now eats happily anything I give him. I’m glad he’s growing up to be a healthy kid.

I sometimes worry about the kids when I need to go on business trips. Being a single mom and far from immediate relatives, I have to rely on our nanny to take care of my children when I’m away. Lately, I’ve become wary of our nanny because I caught her talking sharply to the kids when she thought I was not listening. It made me wonder what else she must be doing when I’m not around.

A colleague suggested I give each child a cell phone so they can reach me anytime. I went online and ordered three discount Nokia cell phones. I gave them to my kids and told them to send me a text message or call me if they need me. Funny, but I felt that I have just bought some peace of mind.

Watching television is a favorite pastime for a lot of people, but sometimes people with analog TV sets want more channels than what they already have. If you want your analog TV sets to receive digital broadcasts, then you need to get a digital TV converter box. This device, which is about the size or a cable box, hooks up a conventional analog television so it can receive and show channels that are digitally broadcasted. This is sometimes called a “set-top converter box” or a “digital TV adapter.”

A typical converter box includes features that allow you to still use a standard analog television even after it is phased out. It has a tuner for a wide range of broadcast channels and subchannels or “multicasts”. It comes with a remote control and a cable to connect the converter box to the analog TV. It has inputs for a VHF and UHF antenna, and outputs for audio and video. It also has a built-in, on-screen electronic program guide, and support for closed captioning.
