Idea for You

Please take this idea and make a lot of money: Aesthetically pleasing portapotties. Sometimes people hold nice events outdoors and have to rent portapotties. If you have the business with the ones that actually look nice or are interesting design, they'll pick you.

Please take this idea and make lots of money. Someone needs to design a hot tub with neck massagers along the edges that you can lean your head back into. Thank you.

Idea for You

Take this idea and make some money: Dance Dance Revolution for toddlers. Does this exist? I've never seen it. I mean they have Dance with Elmo type videos, but where's the interactive part?

PS: Even if you get rich with this idea, my kid will waste yours at "If You're Happy and You Know It."

Idea for You

So remember my Style Sleuth idea about identifying tags in clothing that you could aim your cell phone at? My brother pointed out this article in the NY Times today. The means for this idea already exists! So go get rich already, okay?

Idea for You: Style Sleuth

Please take this idea and make millions:

Create a tiny thingy that can be sewn into the tags on clothing that transmits the brand/designer to anyone who holds their cell phone up to get it. Sell it to clothing companies.

For instance: Dude walks by in super sexy green and black striped hooded sweater...you hold up your phone "beep" and you've got the designer so you can buy one for your hubby.

Idea for You

The effects of TV writers striking has been really interesting. However, it got me thinking...

On New Year's Day glenn fished Parade magazine out of the recycling bin when I mentioned that I had chucked it in there on sight when I saw the cover. He immediately began reading aloud the offending story (in his best Texan accent and with additional commentary): our president supposedly waxing poetic about what he found Special in 2007. It was one of those bizarre roundups of people who knew about hard times (some of which he caused) who he had the great fortune of meeting (or their surviving parents). You know this format: Many people were courageous. I had the good fortune of meeting one such person: Joe Lost His Legs in the War. Many people are struggling with the economy. I had the good fortune of meeting such a person: Jane Minimum Wage. The people who make up this proud country are strong. I have met at least five of them.

Anyway, here's an idea all you writers: unify even more and strike a deal with Other Writers. That's right, you know what I'm thinking: TV writers fire up your computers and get typing while the political and speech writers take an election time turn sitting out. Now That would be interesting, And it would give the television writers plenty of material. Let's work together, folks.

Idea for You

I found a 10AM baby-friendly movie the other day which surprised me as it was so early. It reminded of a long standing idea of mine. Please take this idea and make a lot of money: Offer movies at 7AM. Commuters can miss the traffic, see a movie while eating breakfast and having coffee and then go to work.

Idea for You

Lyra got her first inoculations this week and it went rather well. She had an oral vaccine and needles in each thigh muscle early in the morning. She cried briefly then went to sleep sporting two Bugs Bunny bandaids. She needed one dose of Infant Tylenol later that afternoon. Infant Tylenol comes in flavors. Babies don’t eat any solid food until 4-6 months. . . and yet they make sweet grape, cherry, and worst: bubblegum flavors of medicine for them.

So here’s today’s Idea for You. As always, please take this idea and make lots of money. We’ve got artificial everything flavor, including breast milk – but the breast milk flavor seems to be reserved for formula. Why not make baby medicine that flavor? Not all of us want to make our babies like candy when they are two months old.

Thanks!

Idea for You

It’s time for another idea for you. Please get fabulously rich with the following: A Spam Rock Opera. Here, to get you started, is an example sung to "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen...

Is this the real life-
Is this just fantasy-
Caught in a landslide-
No escape from reality-
Open your e-mail
Look in your Junk folder and see-
He was just a poor boy, from Nigeria-
He was easy come, easy go,
A little high, little low,
Anyway the wind blows, send your account number to me,
To me

My client was killed by a man
Put a gun against his head,
Pulled a trigger, now he’s dead,
My client’s life had just begun,
But now he’s gone and has no family-
Except yooou,
Didn’t mean to make you cry-
If you don’t collect by this time tomorrow-
Carry on, carry on, as if nothing really matters-

Too late, his time has come,
He just never could really win-
And now you’re his only next of kin,
Goodbye to the money, the account will close-
Gotta transfer it to you by tomorrow-
Paid to yooou- (any way the wind blows)
I don’t want to lie,
For years I didn’t think I’d track you down at all-

I see a stylish replica of a watch,
Faster recoil, faster recoil can you use the vibration ring-
Thunderbolt and lightning-very very frightening pills-
Viagra cialis! Viagra cialis!
Viagra cialis! Viagra cialis!
Discount pharmacy-your loan has been approved-
He was just a poor boy who made it big with spam-
He was just a poor boy from a poor family, man-
Spare him his hard work from going to waste-
Easy come easy go-,will you let it go-
Libido! no-,we will not let it go-let it go-
Libido! we will not let it go-let it go
Libido! we will not let it go-let it go
Will not let it go-let it go
Will not let it go let it go
No,no,no,no,no,no,no-
Mama mia,mama mia,mama mia don’t let it go-
He as an account put aside with low fees, low fees, low feees-

So you think you can call me before it’s confiscated-
So you think you can call me poverty’s over-rated-
Oh baby-don’t miss out on this baby-
Just gotta get it out-just gotta get it right outta here-

Nothing else really matters,
Anyone can see,
Your credit score doesn’t matter -nothing really matters to me,

Idea for You

Please take this idea and get fabulously rich (or at least send it to me):
I would like a widget that would let me add movies to my Netflix queue from other review sites like Rotten Tomatoes, etc.

I'm not sure what the identifier on movies is that would work beyond the title though.I have a brilliant widget for example, made by David C. that I use frequently which allows me to go from a book I want on Amazon and just click my URL bookmark for the widget and it looks it up on my local library system (then I just request it) using the ISBN number as the identifier.

If you do make this, be sure to use baby and parenting sites to market it. That's a huge audience of people lamenting they can't get to the movies, and therefore adding interesting titles to Netflicks instead and seeing them later.

Idea for You

Dancing with the Unborn!
Remember how popular the Dancing Baby was on Ally McBeal and then the endless versions online? So what if Heather Mills has a fake leg on Dancing with the Stars...my unborn baby could shake television up for real. With a little ultrasound action she'd get great ratings and she'd surely win -- unlike you already born types, she doesn't sleep when she can dance. She could pay for college And she could tell her new roommates she danced nude to pay her tuition!

They could get that penguin from Happy Feet on the other half of a split screen with her ultrasound screen. Or Kevin Bacon. Yeah.

Idea for You

A friend reminds me that I've been holding out on sharing this particular idea for no good reason...

Please get fabulously rich with the following: Offer peanut butter donuts. Cake donuts, jelly filled peanut butter donuts, chocolate frosted peanut butter donuts, chocolate chip peanut butter donuts.... C'mon, all those peanut allergies are in the younger generations that should know better than to be eating donuts anyway -- this is for the rest of us.

Idea for You

Please get rich with the following:
Please make an add-on for photo programs that allows not just for getting rid of red-eye in people, but also blue-eye in pets. (Dogs and cats get blue-eye with a flash, not red-eye.)

Idea for You

I'm behind in giving you new inventions. Here's an idea for you; please take it and make lots of money: Voice activated alarm clocks. You're tired, you have to set the alarm, you hate pressing the stupid buttons until it gets to the time you want. Wouldn't it be great to just press ALARM and say "seven forty five AM" and be done with it? I don't know how it will work without some big server to process the voice recognition, but I bet it could connect wirelessly to your computer and be an online subscription service.

Today I was working for a jeweler finishing rings and bracelets most of the day. It makes me restless as I have begun working in my own new studio space and am eager to be there instead. However I am learning patience, diligence, and attention to detail. Today I heard a story about a guy who paid a ton of money for his rings in small bill cash. He explained this because he works helping people liquidate estates and when he finds money in the house he hands it to the family and they often give him some.

So run with this fiction idea...a man who liquidates estates finds himself working the home of a former counterfeiter. . . .

Idea for You

Please get fabulously rich creating the following:

Ice mini-golf. Who wants to sleep in a hotel made of ice? Who wants to bundle up and leave a New Year's party to look at an ice sculpture of a dolphin? Give us what we really want: a mini golf course we can play in winter. Made of ice, naturally.

Thank you in advance.

Idea for You

Please get fabulously rich creating the following:

I would like a product that works like Open Table (www.opentable.com -- it's for making resto reservations) but is for household repair issues. Like I'd like to scroll through various professionals by category, see their specialties and attempt to reserve them for particular times.

Thank you in advance.
