“Saw” this idea while walking in Philadelphia. Man was using a cane. But for some reason I got this image of a combo cane and baseball bat. Probably because a hint of spring was in the air, and I was thinking, wouldn’t it be nice to play a little baseball? Then, I thought, could also Read More …
Turn carbon-dioxide back into gasoline. The trick is that this climate-saving energy-source idea includes a road map to its achievement.
You rip a plastic produce bag off the roll, and darn thing refuses to let you open it. Sliding it between fingers. Even in a corner. Blowing on it. Rubbing it between my hands, or on my shirt, looking like a total idiot. Eventually it works, creating a tiny gap that takes even more time Read More …
I’d like to sell some puzzle books I’m creating, say at the local airport. But I can’t afford a regular cart. So how about a mini-one? Basically, it would be a portable store, wirelessly ready to accept credit cards, print receipts, store change (that’s in my pockets). Design it all up, and you’ve got yourself Read More …

Photoshop it to include all sorts of celebrities, human or cat. Or remove some cat-related annoyance. Like: Clipping its claws. So give her coupons saying you’ll clip Floofoo’s Read More …
Interesting article recently in the NY Times, called “This Is Your Life (And How You Tell It).” Suggests an approach to straightening out one’s head where you examine the plot you’ve adopted for your life. OK, maybe it’s as simple as “Boy meets smart, kind and sexy girl, boy marries girl, boy and girl have Read More …
What’s this wrinkled, gnarled thing with an end that’s charred and hard? No, it’s not a dirty joke, it’s a microwaved hot dog. When the microwaves hit food, water molecules jiggle, generating the heat. But heated water molecules seek to escape, leaving edges of veggie burgers gritty and leftovers rubbery. So wrap that dog in Read More …
Gotta do more ideas that benefit lots of people right away, not just someday inventions and someday tweaks for benefitting society. (Will still do those, of course.)
