Some Kind of Technology for Dumb Phones

where I can send an email to someone's phone number as a text, from my gmail. And I can receive them (I don't have email on my phone.) I fucking hate typing text messages.

Scott Wolf and Stacey Dash

should star in a show together.

I think

we should call the '00s the dots.

truck taxis

say you see something on the street that you want but can't carry home with you. just call a friendly truck taxi driver and he'll help you get your free loot home for you.

Make Your Own Shower Music

With waterproof samplers, keyboards, and drum machines.

You know you want to.

In-Theater Blankets

You can't control the temperature in movie theaters so use the same system that airplanes use to help their passengers feel comfortable. Use small blankets that are sponsored by companies to pay for their cleaning and replacement. That way people can have a blanket and brands are helping that happen.

Itinerary?

Bad name for it.

I tend to open a page and then open a number behind them with the intention of reading them later and, unfortunately, I usually don't get to read everything I want to read by the end of the night. And I want to close my browser and shut down my computer. The easy answer is to bookmark what I haven't read yet, but I don't like that. They usually just clutter my browser by staying there forever, unlooked at. I want to be able to store unread links over to the side, in some sort of itinerary, so I can just check and uncheck it like mail so I can look at the things and, when I'm done, they go away.

I'm sure there are options for this, but I'm looking for something very specific.

Links thought-mapping.

So I go to Wikipedia, say, and on the one article I read leads me to ten other links, which I pull behind that article until I get ready to read it. Those articles lead me to ten other links, which lead to ten other links, etc., etc. All with the intention of reading them when I get to them. I want something that will thought-map the links, from one link to the other, so I can kind of look back and see the structure of how I got from Ramesses II to Manny Farber. Additionally, it will show the topics I was interested and didn't get around to reading, so I can go back later and explore them. Which leads me to my next idea.

Text conversations.

This may just be my phone.

When I go through my text messages, I have to go to inbox for incoming and sent for my messages, so I can't see the string of conversation, so I have to go in and out to retrace the conversation. Which is important, because I forget what I say.

I would like that option.

Umbrellas that automatically twirl.

Being a lady is serious business.

This will never happen but

in public bathrooms, they do you the good grace of having toilet seat covers, but when I pull down my pants, they touch the god-awful floor. Can I get some sort of replacement floormat so I can pull my pants back up without fear of someone else's peepee?

Trivia idea.

Dave's post reminded me.

Before movies, they show shitty trivia games and behind-the-scenes. They should use this as incentive for people to arrive early for movies. Have the trivia on-screen and the first person to text the answer gets free popcorn or if its an entire game, you arrive early so you can win a free ticket for next time, some such shit.

Additionally, and not as importantly, they should have stand-up before movies. I think that would be the cat's meow.

Audiobook radio stations.

Audiobook radio stations.

Doesn't have to be the whole thing, just a chapter. The same way a single represents an album.
