I want a machine where I can put anything in its slot and it will store it. There would have to be a keyboard so I could say where it is, then type in what I want when I want to retrieve it. It would unfortunately have to be quite large, but if it was nice looking one could replace a load bearing wall with it, I suppose.
The Cat Barf Detector
This audio activated device would be similar to a Roomba but would hear the cat barfing, would detect the location of the barf by scent, then clean it up much as one of those carpet cleaners you just set down on the stain does. It would have some sort of disposal method.
The Corporate Common Sense Ray
You know it's a dumb idea, if they really thought it through so would they. But no, they have to cut staff, add ridiculous record keeping, take out the trash cans so people have to get up and throw their trash in the recycle bin down the hall, hire a consultant at an incredible rate per hour to tell them how to cut costs, and that sort of thing. As soon as the boss opens his or her mouth, you shoot them with the ray. The person says, "Oh yeah, that's right. Never mind."
Note Taker Cap
You put on this attractive cap, which comes in several styles appropriate to both men and women, and all you have to do is think of something you would normally write down as a reminder and the cap remembers it for you.
Kid Noise Cancellation Machine
For people who work from a home office, this device emits a tone inaudible to the human ear but which matches and negates the sounds of kids shouting and scream and of basketballs bouncing so you can get some work done. Available in other models, including Barking Dog, Revving Motor, and Neighbor's Stereo.
