Idea: Protecting Art.

I have art that has been in Miami and got damaged. Plus there was some sun damage to other pieces of my art.  I think that there should be a way to hermetically seal frames, using a vacuum, or inert gas, to allow a piece of art to be safely and permanently stored within the [...]

Idea: Better Rolling Luggage

Posted 2008-01-21 I have a great piece of rolling luggage. But it sometimes tips over and when taking it around a corner, tips sideways.Maybe rolling luggage should have wheels that pop out of the side when you raise the handle up to roll it, and another wheel that comes down from the handle when the [...]

Idea: Elevators Shouldn’t Face Each Other

Idea: Standardize the Scales

The earthquake in Japan just happened followed by what is seemingly a meltown in a nuclear plant in Japan. I’ve posted before that I think Metrics are the way to go.  They are so much easier when you get the hang of them. Now I see that the Richter and Nuclear facility Scales makes our [...]

Idea: Pez

Get famous designers, artists, architects, celebs, to create Pez dispensers.  Elsa Peretti’s sterling silver Pez for Tiffany,  Frank Gehry’s sweeping shapes, Swarofski’s crystalled version, Marc Jacobs can offer a variety of them, and thousands of others.  Then re-formulate the candy for adults.  Mature flavors and more subdued packaging.  I think it will create a whole new generation [...]
