3D contact lenses!

An eco water park

Built into the side of a mountain.
Slides could just follow the angle of the mountain.
It would be fun.

a yard sale

where early birds are encouraged.

A 'similar words' reference book

that isn't a thesaurus. Like, if you searched 'love,' you wouldn't just get synonyms for love, you'd get words like 'hope' and 'justice' and shit. Or words that belong in a certain era are grouped together. Maybe 'visual thesaurus' does this. I don't know.

Digital Wingman

An iphone app that you can subtly activate with one touch while the phone's still inside your purse that makes your phone ring, thusly giving you the excuse to take the call and walk away.

Flickr links

I wish Flickr embedded a link into your picture when you upload to their site. I like to download pictures with a Creative Commons license to use in projects I am working on. Sometimes I forget to write down the source when downloading the pictures, especially if I'm grabbing a bunch at the same time. It would be easier to attribute the pictures to the source if the Flickr URL was included in the information when I right-click and select "Get Info."

Deodorant 3-Day Samples

Because once you buy it, you're stuck with it for months, and sometimes I feel like switching 'cause I'm looking for a better product, not just a better scent.

Probably also would get me out of the cycle of buying men's deodorant for myself, as I have been for the past 6 years. I just don't trust anything else!

Get people to watch reruns.

Simple idea. During reruns of The Colbert Report or The Daily Show, film an extra minute of footage or so. Or put web-video content or outtakes or something during reruns of 'Ellen' and 'Will & Grace.' Or air commentary tracks over the footage. Anything that gives you a reason to at least tune in.

A reverse sitemeter.

Sitemeter works by telling the people who run a website how long someone spends on their website. Google analytics and all that. The reverse sitemeter would work by telling you, the person viewing, how much time you spend at particular websites. Like last.fm tells you how many times you've listened to a song, this tells how many times you go to a website, how long you stay, etc.

A Photoshop

of a tree with 'CROATOA' carved into the bark in Comic Sans.

A gravy moat.

Ceramic dishes with a castle in the middle and a moat along the brim for your soup or gravy or sauces or what's your pleasure. And a working drawbridge. Or an entire dinner table with a castle in the middle and a gravy moat along the rim and you can put the dishes on the towers and ramparts. Along these lines, maybe Lego-branded eating utensils/plates, with different settings for your kids to eat off of.

A 30-minute show

devoted to pee-wee hockey. No announcer, no commentators. Just the game, man. http://13gb.com/videos/3923/

A richter scale

for your poots that you wear in your back pocket oh my god, I love this idea.

Video screen basketball hoop

Gizmodo wrote about Spalding's new basketball hoop with speakers and an mp3 player hook-up. I thought it was a great idea.

But what if they went a step further and made a basketball hoop with an LCD screen backboard. That way you can watch a basketball game while you play. Or maybe the screen can be motion/pressure sensitive and display some type of visualization while you make/miss shots or dunk. Or it can keep score/time like those arcade basketball games.

Middle-class Sci-Fi.

Movie idea. Earth's first housing colony on Mars is in trouble... until a couple of guys decide to start Mar's first football league! Woohoo!

A banner ad

with the message really tiny and the 'CLOSE' button very large.

I would like

if a page displayed where I got a link from. Because I forget. Or I click all those tinyurls on Twitter and I can't trace them back to a source.

a tattoo magazine special edition

this special edition would focus on the hair styles bald men can get tattooed on their head. it's half hair style magazine half tattoo magazine. "i'd like the mullet tattoo please."

a blog notebook

the paper would look like a blog post. you fill in the post at your leisure. a quick mock up:

contact lenses for pets

and also glass eyes for pets.

the vacuum zamboni

pretty much like a riding lawn mower but instead a vacuum. 

a microcosm dome

this works much the same way a biodome does. for example a microcosm dome for bees and only bees.

America clock.

If I had some sort of flash skill, I would make an online clock of America that gets darker on the east coast before the west coast. If that makes sense.

Here's a picture I made.

Font color wheel.

Fonts have complementary fonts just as colors have complementary colors. Someone (not me) make a color wheel for which fonts go with which fonts. Tertiary can be, like, Headline->Sub-head->Body Copy, but it can go beyond that. Thank you.

Cereal-branded milk.

Cinnamon Toast Crunch-milk tastes like the milk at the end of a bowl of Cinnamon Toast Crunch.
Fruity Pebbles-milk tastes like the milk at the end of a bowl of Fruity Pebbles.
I could go on.

a camera bag

one that doesn't make you look like a tourist.

iphone app

an app that makes it look like your phone is cracked and broken. this way no one will want to steal your phone and you'll always know which one is yours.

this idea came to me in a dream

a sushi restaurant where all the sushi chefs are magicians. lets say you order sashimi. the magician chef would take his knife and make it look like he cut off part of your arm but it would be pieces of sashimi that would fall on your plate. there would be all sorts of magical things that could happen.

Video.

A mash-up of Christian Bale's Batman voice talking to Jackie Earle Haley's Rorschach voice. There's something here, folks.

Root beer/birch beer packaging idea

Two liter mini kegs made of wood for root beer and birch beer. Like the Heineken draughtkeg but for old-timey soft drinks.

Capri Sun packaging idea

Capri Sun voodoo dolls. Stab your enemies and drink their blood (juice). This could also be a vampire-themed Halloween promotion.

cookie cakes

like pillsbury cookie dough but instead of individual cookies it rolls out into one giant piece of dough for when you want to make a cookie cake. they would come in both chocolate chip and sugar. 

claire addition: and there could be shaped cakes. roll out a heart or christmas tree.

A band

that makes TV theme songs for shows that will never exist.

Alex, get your guitar.

Brake lights.

In the shape of smiley faces.

Hardee's become Carl's Jrs.

Carl's Jrs. become Hardee's.

Gamble on resolutions.

Some sort of storefront where you can wager money on whether or not you're actually going to lose twenty pounds in two months.

A Classmates.com

for the people in your school/town/college that went on to become strippers and porn stars. Because I know Alicia Graham has to be one of those things.

Magnifying glasses above solar panels.

It Just Makes Sense.™

Heated roads.
