You heard it first at Pixies.

Have you ever had an idea that was great, but not necessarily a moneymaker?

Would you like to share?

Mine is an MP3 alarm. MP3 tracks, silent for all but the last minute, of differing length. If you want a half hour (or whatever) snooze, plug in the old player, select the appropriate track and snooze till reveille.

Yours?

Something I always thought would be nice would be turn signals on a car that would turn off after some amount of time whether the car made a turn or not. It could always beep the driver to tell him/her it was doing that.

Nothing more frustrating than to make a shallow turn and realize 10 miles down the road that your turn signals are still on. (In fairness, two of our cars start beeping after maybe five minutes.)

They are the curse of my existance.

Perhaps one which ticks louder and louder the longer it's on?

I want a meta search engine for porn - something where I can specify that I like redheads with big muscles and green eyes and it will give me a list of all the pics and vids with that kind of guy in it.

:D <-- Hates to work for her porn

[GreenChef]

Yes, but if it is too easy and you don't have to work for it you don't appreciate it as much

They have those on some top end cars already that do both.

I want a device kind of like a Roomba that continuously cleans the bottoms of spas and pools and minimizes the amount of chlorine you need to use.

Oh, I was about to post about pool floor sweeps, but I see Lilith beat me to it. I'm battling with mine. It works for about 10 feet and then loses suction :(

Those that know me, know that I am full of ideas.

However, they also know that only about 0.001% of them are actually good ones.

My hair brained schemes are largely greeted with a polite smile or a :huh:

Here are two of the more recent ones...

Number 1. A moisture sensor on the roof of your car or somewhere near the front windshield, that automatically adjusts the speed of your windshield wipers, I just hate that squeaky sound :hair: , and more practically one can never react quick enough when the downpour hits or when passing a semi.

Number 2 and I think this one might be more doable (pun intended). I call it Shake, Rattle, and Roll. A battery-less vibrator that is powered like those small flashlights that you shake up. http://www.survivalschool.com/products/lighting/

Just shake...rattle...and ROLL! :nana: It is already built to fit into a cock shaped vibrator too, so it wouldn't take much to incorporate the two technologies.

/me scribbles down all these "kooky" ideas and looks up number to the US patent office

*giggle*



Or how about the one that got away? Mr. Lixy swears he thought of colored/pictured contact lenses years before we ever saw anything like them in Michael Jackson's "Thriller" video. He says he and a friend were tripping and got to talking about pictures (of lions and tigers and bears or what-not) on eyeballs. The next day, after they came down, it still seemed like a viable idea. That fact alone is amazing. If you've ever tripped, you'll agree!

And I would LOVE a bobbin sensor on my industrial sewing machine. I hear they have a winding counter but I don't care if I got an electrical shock. Just so I am aware that I am about to run out of bobbin thread so I don't have to pick up the holes I make in leather, etc.

/me writes that one ^^^ down to include it on the list when I call the patent office

DREAM ON PEEPS!!!
