Two Highdeas!

I haven't done Highdeas in a long time because there has been, over the past year, serious curbage. BUT:

On Saturday I met up with my friend and we saw Hot Fuzz and I got two Highdeas right before we saw Hot Fuzz:

1. The 'Make Al Gore Happy' Light-switch Plate!
This is a light-switch plate with a picture of Al Gore on it. When the light is on, Al Gore's face is angry. When you turn the light off, Al Gore's face brightens up into a glow-in-the-dark smile.  Parents could tell their children "Don't forget to make Al Gore happy!" to remind them to turn off lights. If every family had just one of these light-switch plates installed in their home, there would be no more global warming at all.*

2. The "Blockberry"
This is a quarter-sized pocket device that renders all Blackberries (or equally annoying devices) unusable within a, say, three foot radius of the user's body. Regular normal people with social skills could use it when they see their unfortunate tech-addiction-stricken brethren, and Blackberry addicts could employ it at dinners and on vacations as a sort of digital antabuse. (I know this one is sort of obvious, but we need it!)

* This is a "Highstatistic"

wow. incredible.

once the blockberry goes into production (which, by the way, how could it not?) I'd be interested in a "jenny from the blockberry" that does the same thing, but blasts J-Lo tracks out of the offenders mobile device before finally exploding in their pocket. what do you think? let's set up some meetings.

I add the blockberry to my "Punch Your In The Mouth Assinine Comment Wallet...." more to follow in Fall '08.

Crap, I thought I made up Highdeas years ago...used to log them in The Notebook, which was the handy spot to log all your highdeas and illustrations that would otherwise be forgotten. Back before this "blogging" business.

Get it into production ASAP! - and tell me when you've youtubed the home shopping network ad for it :)
