Use the Force To Get Your Remote Control
I admit I have done it many times, stare at the remote control with a hand outstretched trying to use the Force to magically move the remote through the air into my hand. I have not found my abilities to use the force at this time, but once I think I stared so hard I almost broke a blood vessel in my eye. So what are we supposed to do when we sit in a perfectly comfortable chair and realize the remote is twenty feet away. The answer unfortunately does not lie with Luke Skywalker and the Force, think more along ...
Halloween Candy Alternatives
Everybody gives out candy on Halloween and for whatever reason you don't want to give out candy we have a few recommendations for you to give out instead. One idea is to give out personal finance guides, because goodness knows kids are very concerned about saving for college and retirement. Small tubes of toothpaste are an obvious choice if you're interested in combating all of the inevitable sugar bugs. Hand wipes if you're one who would like to keep hand clean from sugary messes. And finally my favorite, you can give out your old unmatched socks from back in the ...
DIY Spy Gear- Be as Sneaky As Can Be
No longer do you have to be a member of an exclusive government organization in order to be a spy, modern technology has made it possible for anyone to be a spy. All you need are the right gadget accessories along with a mysterious coat, hat and sunglasses. This crazy idea is inspired by the Illustration Friday word of the week, sneaky.
Learn a New Computer Language
Sometimes my computer devices get into arguments and can't seem to get along. I am thinking maybe I should learn to speak some computer languages in order to act as a mediator. Java sounds like a fun name for a computer language, maybe I will start there. Then, the next time I say "Cell phone you are going to sync with my Google Calendar whether you like it or not!" maybe it will listen (or maybe it will tell me where it would like me to sync).
Never Water Again with Digital Plants
Tired of all of your plants dying? Don't want fake plastic plants? Try these digital photo frames mounted in pots. Display an ever changing beautiful flower garden and never have to water again. Would come preloaded with 100 assorted pictures of flowers if it actually existed.

Special vibratory bristle action cleans all of your teeth at once while your hands are free to accomplish other tasks. Just a cautionary note though, it does cause excessive drooling so you may want to keep ...
The Soaked Siren- Diaper Alarm
Sometimes your just not sure if your kid's diaper is wet or not and you don't want to walk all the way over and disrupt them just to check. That is why you need the "Soaked Siren" diaper alarm. It sounds out an annoying alarm whenever the baby is wet. This invention is also great for making sure dad will actually change diapers when he has the kids because listening to the alarm is much worse than changing a diaper. This crazy idea is inspired by the Illustration Friday word of the week, soaked.
Keep Your Socks Safe With The Dryer Defender
There is a crime wave going unreported. A crime wave of socks - mostly left socks - being stolen from dryers everywhere. The culprits are getting away and the police are too busy to track them down. But you can protect your left socks with the "Dryer Defender". The "Dryer Defender" bounces around with your laundry, protecting your socks from would-be thieves while at the same time providing fabric softening and just a hint of a spring breeze scent.
Automatically Guided Shopping Cart
Have you ever chosen the squeaky wheel, the one that won't turn,or one that won't drive straight? Are you just tired of pushing the heavy thing? Are you like me and can't find anything in giant superstores? Well, your shopping cart problems are over with the introduction of the automatically guided shopping cart. Just tell the cart what you would like to shop for and it will take you there.

This Makes it OK to Wipe Your Nose on Your Sleeve
It has long been considered bad form to wipe your nose on your sleeve, but that conflicts with the natural instinct to use the forearm to wipe your nose. Why fight the urge? Get yourself the "Sleeve Wiper". The "Sleeve Wiper" is a stack of tissues attached to your forearm. Wipe away the snot, peel off the soiled tissue layer and you are ready for the next runny nose situation. Great if you have a cold, kids or just enjoy more stuff strapped to your arm.
Robotic Card Partner
Tired of playing Hearts and Solitaire by yourself on the computer? Do you want to have a card game with real physical cards, but can't find anyone to play with you? The Robot Card Partner is what you need. Sit him down in a chair across from you, plug him into the wall and you have yourself a Pinochle partner. Order more units and you will have a whole table full of card players. The robots have card player personalities programed in, so some of them are sore loosers.
Custom, Personalized Marking Shoes
Tired of the same old shoe bottoms everybody else has? Do you want to add a little flare to your footprints? Leave your mark wherever you walk with these shoes that have a custom molded bottom. You can have your name molded in or even a company logo.
Crazy Idea Factory Now Printing Money
What is the easiest way for governments to create more money? Why, to print more of it of course. We as citizens should also be able to print our own money on demand. Here is my contribution to the print your own money trend. If you print it on something valuable, it may actually have value. Or it might just eliminate the value of what it is printed on. Either way it is so much cooler than Monopoly money.
In-Car Fountain Drinks
When you're driving do you ever get annoyed because you're thirsty and you don't want to stop and buy something to drink? The In-Car Fountain Drink machine is the solution to your problem. Just install a drink machine into your dash and you have a beverage whenever you would like one. This would be excellent if you are in a car pool or if you offer a ride service. Taxi drivers should think of adding these; they could probably make a profit from thirsty customers.
Boring Neighborhood? Try Windows of Interest
Not much happening in your neighborhood? Do your nosy neighbors not have enough to gossip about? Or, are you just not interesting enough to fit in? If so you should install the windows of interest kit. It is a TV that mounts behind your window. Play the included mysterious movies and your neighbors will have plenty to talk about. Soon you will be the lady connected to the CIA or the Mafia, nobody will know for sure.
New Game: Base-Bowl
Can't decide if you want to go bowling or play baseball? Why not do both? Play Base-bowl. Base-bowl is a game that is played in a special bowling ally where the batter/bowler stands at the plate, a ball pops up and the batter/bowler tries to hit the ball into the pins and knock as many down as possible. Scoring is the same as in standard bowling the only big change is hitting a baseball at the pins instead of rolling a bowling ball at the pins. The biggest problem with the game is going to be deciding what the "strike" will refer ...
Artificial Intelligent Pillow
This crazy idea is inspired by the Illustration Friday word of the week, artificial. As the age of real I, Robot draws ever closer I think about the places where I would like to have a robot to help me out in life. That place is of course my pillow. I need a pillow smart enough to understand how I sleep. I shouldn't have to punch and ball up my pillow to find the exact thickness and softness factors I need to sleep well at night. My pillow should know based upon my mood and level of tension what form it ...
Wi-Fi via Wi-Fly
Having a wireless Internet connection everywhere is an expensive idea, if you use lots of towers and big expensive equipment. That is why you should choose Wi-Fly as your ubiquitous wi-fi option. A small wi-fi signal transmitter mounted to the back of thousands ordinary house flies will quickly blanket the area in wireless Internet coverage. It will also make the garbage dump a lot more popular place for those wishing to get just a little better signal strength. [caption id="attachment_14" align="alignleft" width="500" caption="Bringing you Wi-Fi via Wi-Fly"][/caption]
Rock Ideas
The Rocks are generally looked upon as useless and regular, but I am here to tell you rocks are the coolest thing ever. I drew up six fun things to do with rocks below. The paper weight: Ya, I know not very origional. Rock the Boat: Sail the seven seas with the daring and ruthless Captain Rock the Boat. Rock Star: Rockin tuns from a true rock musician. Moon Rock: He sits up high on the moon, just keeping an eye on things. Rolling Rock: Prometheus pushes him up the hill, and he just wants to roll back down. The Rock: Always trapped because you can't ...
Justices of the Supreme Court Toothbrushes
I read an article stating most Americans can't name even one Supreme Court Justice. I think it is because we don't do enough merchandising of the names and likenesses of the justices. Look in the toothbrush aisle next time you're out shopping. You will see a million character toothbrushes ranging from Dora to Spiderman, but not a single toothbrush representing the characters on the United States Supreme Court. Toothbrush companies need to step up and start manufacturing Supreme Court Justice toothbrushes. Just think of Clarence Thomas fighting tooth decay the way he fights injustice. Anthony Kennedy getting ...
Follow Me Night Light
I am sure there is a medical study somewhere keeping track of the amount of injuries incurred by people waking up in the middle of the night and stumbling or walking into something on their way to the bathroom. Imagine if you could wake up in the middle of night, mumble the word "bathroom" or "kitchen" and that word would activate a robot. The robot would light up and guide you to your destination and guide you safely back to bed. Better yet the robot could also have a "go get me" mode. You could mumble "go get me a glass ...

Bike to Work Week or Make Your Bike Work Week!
Well this week is "Bike to Work Week" and actually May is "Bike Month". Biking is great, but unfortunately because of geographic and time issues many of us are unable to bike to work. For those unable to bike to work this week, I propose adding an "or make your bike work" clause to bike to work week. With the "or make your bike work" clause workers unable to actually bike to work can use their ingenuity to come up with clever ways to make their bikes work. I have included two potential ideas to "make your bike work" in today's ...
Keep it Safe in Your Secret Trash Stash
Any good spy will tell you a safe is not a very safe place to store your valuables. You need to store your valuables in someplace nobody wants to look like the bottom of your trash can. Thieves and espionage agents will never think to look for a secret compartment in the bottom of your trash can. If you are still worried your trash isn't stinky enough to detour would be felons add a couple of poopy diapers, they are sure to keep all bad guys away (unless they lack a sense of smell).
Auto Jelly Toaster
This crazy idea is inspired by the Illustration Friday word of the week, breakfast. There is nothing better than jelly on a nice, fresh piece of hot toast for breakfast. But there is often so little time as you walk out the door in the morning to go through the hassle of finding the jelly, finding a knife and subjecting your wrists to unneeded stress and strain of applying jelly to a piece of toast. Jelly toast should be as simple as dropping a piece of toast into a toaster and pressing the "auto jelly" button. The Auto-Jelly Toaster makes this dream ...
The Facebook Monster; Very Spooky Costume
Are you looking for a spooky and terrifying costume idea? Have you thought of dressing up as the Facebook Monster? The Facebook Monster is the spookiest and scariest monster of them all! He knows everything about you, you even think he is your "friend", but all along he creeps along unnoticed by you while he tells the world your secrets. He will show your potential employer embarrassing pictures of you, your new boyfriend/girlfriend all about what happened during your last relationship and worst of all he knows what you really did last summer. This crazy idea is inspired by the Illustration Friday ...
Mix-Me-Up-Mug
I don't know about you, but I never get my hot chocolate mixed up well enough and I end up having too little chocolate flavor at the beginning and big mess of chocolate left in my mug at the end. That is why we need a product like the Mix-Me-Up-Mug. The Mix-Me-Up-Mug has a mixing beater in the bottom that spins every time you pull the handle trigger. The Mix-Me-Up-Mug gives you the perfectly mixed hot chocolate every time.
Stinky Alarm Clock
Waking up is hard to do. And some mornings an annoying beep from your alarm clock just doesn't cut it for getting you out of bed. When you feel as though you need something above and beyond the standard alarm clock, it's time to step up the the "Stinky Alarm Clock". It doesn't just beep and buzz like standard, boring, old alarm clocks, it emits horrible odors. You will be rushing to get out of bed so you don't get a whiff of "extremely burnt microwave popcorn". As for pushing the snooze button, nobody is willing to use a snooze ...
