In grad school early 2000s a group of us developed the idea of a smart kitchen. One of our ideas included a smart fridge that took inventory and would send reminders on certain perishable items. I need go file some copyright infringements on that idea.

Wait, that's actually legal and on the market? Seems like this would be a big human rights issue.

Larger ketchup packets.

Decorative colostomy bag covers

A hair clip apparatus that doubles as a pen.


Not on the market but needs to happen: An app for strip clubs that allow you to tip and pay for dances via your phone. The dancer would need to wear a compatible Bluetooth capable garter belt. You could select your dancer, set spending limits, denominations and such. To tip the dancer you just hold your phone like a stack of money and swipe up with two or more fingers in a "making it rain" type gesture.

One of you mopes need to run with this...I'm too lazy to see it through.

Headlights that move with the steering wheel.

Ceiling fans with heating coils on the blades that create a warm tropical breeze for the winter time.

Alumasteel welding rods.

i'm shocked that cars don't automatically tell you the speed limits. would be so easy to implement with RFID tags. Friend did this for a freshman project.

Right now I'm thinking about making land mines that look like prayer rugs.

I'm expecting prophets will go through the roof.

I rented a Peugeot car in Ireland with a factory-installed GPS.

There was an icon on the GPS screen with the speed limit in it. The icon would flash when I exceeded the speed limit.

A button on your tv that makes the remote make a sound so you can find it.

I always thought it was pretty silly that they had handy dipping packets for sauces like BBQ and Honey Mustard, but not for ketchup.
