Chairscalators.

When you're waiting in a long line and the line moves and then you have to get up from your chair and then move down to a closer chair.

The chairs should just move.

A Sunscreen Implant

Like how females can get an implant that delivers no-baby medicine, except this delivers sunscreen to your skin cells so you don't have to apply it yourself.

I'm sure this can work. It's science.

On Wheel of Fortune

You should get bonuses for solving a puzzle with fewer letter guesses.

I was watching the show one time when the category was "Rock & Roll" and the first guess from a contestant was "T." I knew the answer was "Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers." In that situation I would've solved, and I should get a $1 million bonus.

Another iPod idea

You should be able to color code folders on your iPod, like you can in Finder on a Mac.

It would be a great way to bookmark favorite artists or if certain songs are out of order in an album folder (which happens from time to time) you would be able to set yourself a reminder to fix it.

Parked Car Locator

I went to the mall back home this weekend. It was one of those huge suburban malls with the giant parking lots. I sweat to God, it took me 1/2 hour to find my car because I couldn't remember where I parked it.

I think you get like an RFID tag, slap it on your car and have a little thing that beeps louder and faster as you get closer to your car. Or, have the RFID tag and have the iPhone pick up the signal. But it would still have to beep louder and faster as you get closer to your car.

Muted.

Sometimes the TV comes on and is immediately loud. The options are to turn it down really quickly or to mute it, and then press down on the volume. Pressing down on the volume of course unmutes it and, for a second, it's loud until you find the right volume. I'd like for there to be some way for it to either stay muted while you find the right volume bar or maybe a start-from-the-bottom approach, where it starts at the lowest possible volume and you can build up from there. Thank you.

Tags.

Like how you tag blogs posts for content, it would be nice if you could tag the music in your iTunes for content. I forget what songs are about and, if you're making a thematic mix-CD, say, it's hard to search through thousands of songs for similar lyrical content. So like how you can sort by genre and album and all that other shit, this would be a new tab at top which lets you organize by themes. Love, death, leaving, anger, etc.

Also, it would be nice if iTunes let you search through your stored lyrics.

360-597-8483.

Occasionally, you get a call from an unknown number and they leave a barely legible voicemail which makes you think you know them, but you couldn't exactly make out who it was. The first thing I'll do is ask my friends if they know the number but, with telephones being how they are and no one remembering any numbers, it would be nice if they could, say, type in the area code and search their address book for similar numbers.

Temperature-controlled restaurants.

Instead of asking 'Smoking or non-smoking?,' they'll ask whether you want to sit in the cold side of the restaurant or the warm side of the restaurant.

And movie theaters.

A Facebook/LinkedIn Type Thing for Hair Dressers

And masseurs, estheticians, and all of those people. Actually, this would be great for doctors, too.

Whenever they leave a job (or get fired), the places where they used to work absolutely will not tell you where they went, I guess out of spite. It's annoying when you find someone you really like and then you "lose" them.

San Francisco-Specific Post

Can the little ticket machines for BART please print out how much money I have left onto the ticket? (This could also apply to all subway systems everywhere.)

I keep confusing my twenty-dollar tickets with my fifty cent tickets. Thank you.

A Competition of the Mundane

I want to see a competition where people compete on super mundane things in life. Toothbrushing. Dishwashing. Oil changing. Vacuumming. Lawn mowing. Commuting. Let's celebrate who can do what we have to do the best. Maybe we'll appreciate it more.
