Lightswitch Anywhere

THere are two parts to lightswitch anywhere. The first is a stick anywhere on the wall light switch, it is battery powered and remotely controls the second part, a plug that plugs in to any outlet. Kind of like those Airlets, except the cover is a receiver for the lightswitch, which remotely turns on and off the outlet anywhere. Anyway, our new apartment could use about three of these. If you can find this product already created, shoot me a link.

Dine-In Movie Theatre

This is a rather simple idea. Essentially we need to buy an old movie theatre and gut out the inside of each individual "theatre". Rather than having the stadium style seatomg we would set it up like restaurant containing tables and chairs and perhaps even sofas. We would of course offer food and drink (alcoholica and non) and the type of food served would be "fun food". An idea within this idea is to bring back Stan's old idea of a store that specializes in selling french fries. This is one example of the type of food we could serve.

Back to the theatre - we would show old movies and have theme nights/weeks. One night would be Tarantino night and the next week could be boat movies, or something to that effect. Instead of people going to two separate places for dinner and a movie they could get it done all in one shot. The dine-in movie theatre is your one stop shop for date night.

Good Site

This site is good. So check it out damnit.

H2Oh My God

This is really more of a brand name more than anything. It could be a name for our bagged water or a nozzle for a hose.

My idea is this though: an entire line of water products from bottled to bagged water, aerosol cans of water, pump action bottles of water etc. The umbrella company will be H2Oh My God and we will specialize essentially in selling wacky water ideas. With all the people out there today that buy "flavored water" aka juice, and "sports water" aka water, we can really hit on a segment of the market not fully being serviced. H2Oh My God will sell specialty water - water for your car, water at the bar, water for ferns and water to cool your burns. We will do it all, wherever water is H2Oh My God is. Here's you,here's H2Oh My God.

Carwash in a bag ™ (old inventory)

This is an old idea that I had about 6 months ago that I came across recently when doing some move-out cleaning. It's based off of
Greenhouse-in-a-bag, a client at my old job I did a brochure for. Basically its a carwash
in a bag. It would be made out of PVC piping and when you take it out of the bag it unfolds to go over your car and spray it with water using
misters. I made a schematic for it but cant find the scan of it. I will post it
here when I do. My idea was that when you come home for the day you attach the hose to it and turn on the hose, water pressure would power
the unit back and forth over the top of your car washing it clean. Then you would fold it back up in the bag when you are done if you want.
Slight improvement over my dad's carwash garage idea he had. Anyway, just thought I would add this to the thunderdome.

Blogroller busted

Those bastards at Mozilla beat us to it. Its called Thunderbird. You can manage all of your RSS feeds in it. mozilla.com.
This is fun. I live in Soda Country right now.

MorningBlog or DailyBlog.

Think of it as Outlook for Blogs, or something. Every morning when I get to work, I use firefox to check on all my favorite blogs. In firefox if you are on a blog and you look in the lower right hand corner, you can subscribe to the feed. This means that when you bookmark the feed, and go in to your bookmarks, it lists a drop-down menu of recent posts (see pictures below). So this process of checking my favorite blogs’ feeds takes a while. What would be easier is if we created some type of aggregator that takes all of your favorite blogs and every morning you check your “BlogBox™” and see all the blog entries from your favorite blogs. Next to the subject line of the blog could be the image attachment to the blog or a symbol of an mp3 (podcast), kind of like on eBay when it shows a thumbnail. I know that there are all sorts of aggregators out there, but this software would be a lot more user friendly.
