Custom, Personalized Marking Shoes
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.
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 ...
Keep Your Cell Phone in Your Wallet
I don’t like to carry extra items on my person. I have a wallet, cell phone, keys and other miscellaneous pocket fillers adding an extra 50 pounds to my person. Some of these items would work very well combined, example a cell phone wallet combo. Electronics are small enough to add all of the functionality of a cell phone to my wallet without adding thickness. Now I can just slide my cell phone wallet into my back pocket and not have to carry one of those ridiculous cell phone pouches on my belt. As long as it doesn’t use the iPhone 4 ...
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 ...
Tube of Peanut Butter
My friend Jon and I were talking about the need for a easy, portable and practical method for getting peanut butter on crackers when we are away from our kitchens. And that is where the inspiration for the peanut butter in a toothpaste style tube came from. Now the only question remaining is "Should the tube be clear or colored?" I say clear.
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 ...
Smart Phone B Gone
Are you tired of people paying more attention to their Blackberries than they do to you? The next time someone is staring at their smart phone or texting while you're trying to have a conversation just press the button on your Smart Phone B Gone and it will block all data transmission and force them to pay attention to you (or go into complete shock, and believe the world is coming to an end).
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 ...
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 ...
Hamburger Vending Machine
Are you tired of dealing with actual people when you go to a fast food restaurant? Do you have too few vending machines at your place of work? If so it is time for you to invest in a Burger Vendor, the hamburger vending machine. Watch as the automated burger machine fries your burger before your eyes, places it on a bun and serves it to you.
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]
Glasses Give You Eyes in the Back of Your Head
You never know who might be sneaking up behind you, but you should do your best to find out. Mounting small cameras on the back of your glasses and sending the picture to some small picture-in-picture (PIP) screens in your glasses will give you your own personal rear view mirrors.
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.
Get Rid of the Lawn; Plant Corn
Maintaining your yard is one of the most time consuming and labor intensive activities you can participate in. All kinds of work and nothing to show for your labor. It is time to make a stand, plant something useful in the yard. Plant corn, tomatoes, rutabagas or whatever your hearts desire. Instead of having a bag of clippings for your work, you can save a trip to the grocery store because you have home grown vegetables from your front yard. Never mind the looks you get from your neighbors, you won't be able to see them anyway when the corn gets ...
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.
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).
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 ...
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.
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 ...

Idea for New Competition: Move Immovable Things
This crazy idea is inspired by the Illustration Friday phrase of the week, immovable.

Solar Heater for Wading Pools
