Idea 1: I prefer a blend of Mocha Java and Italian espresso beans for coffee. I buy equal quantities of each and mix them up and put them in zip lock bags. I notices the little vacuum valve on the coffee bags. It would be awsome if zip lock bags came with similar valves.
Idea 2: I want a tray that his divided in the middle, it has slightly raised sides. One half has the gel material you see in wrists rests, and the other is a hard plastic, possibly a plastic sheet on a plastic tray arranged so that it rattles loudly. A night, you put your vibrating phone, pager, etc on the tray. You put it on the gel side if you don’t want it to wake you and the hard side if you do want it to wake you.
I dea 3: I also want a modern day chatelaine for my various IDs, keys, etc so that I have more than one retractable cord to clip then on with. Every time I try to unlock my PC the key cards get in my way.
What product do you want to see?
I would love to redesign the way a computer is put together … Why need the power and cable when you could just make the back of things like hard drives and cd/dvd drives universal so they just snap into a slot and it is done, and they are automatically hooked up. [PC not mac …] The motherboard would end up shaped a bit differently, but things change. We went from cpu cases that were horizontal, to the vertical towers, portables, laptops and who knows what is next=)
Underskirts in trousershape. No more clinging thighs in summer. I know they’re commercially available, but only in distant corners of the internet. there are still women who wear skirts, you know!
Pantyhose that FIT, damnit.
Handbags that hover in the air behind you and come when you wistle for them.
A keyboard that you can actually center in front of the screen. Because the number pad is off to the right, it gets awfully difficult to get the letters keys ( I use F G H J as a reference) in the middle of your seating position/screen.
Invariably, my arms extend out toward the desk and to the left. If I center my actual QWERTYUIOP keys in front of the screen/me, the number pad is now off to far to the right and the mouse in far right field.
Why don’t you just turn your phone ON if you want it to wake you, and turn it OFF if you dont.
Anyway – I’d like to see individual servings (like 10-12 oz bottles) of good wine. A little 6 pack of cabernet for those times when you don’t want to open a whole bottle.
Simple answer: there’s no need for that seal on a ziplock bag (at least, not for coffee).
The reason that valve exists on good bags of coffee is becauser the beans are bagged hot, and they need a one way valve that will let the hot steam escape, but won’t let air back in. The longer the beans are in contact with air, the less tasty they get. Before the vacuum seal, the options were either not seal the bag, which lets air in and give you crappy beans, or let them cool before bagging, which again exposes themto more air and gives you crappy beans.
Since when you buy your ebasn thery are already cool, you have no need to let anything out of the bag and not let anything in. You can just go ahead and not let anything in or out at the same time, and thus, a ziplock bag, with all the excess air sucked/pushed out, is an ideal choice.
When I said vacuuum seal, I really meant ‘one-way valve’, because that’s what it is. Yse, they also vacuum seal bags, but the issue at hand here is the valve, not the seal.
I want a D&D v 3.5 upgrade manual, which lists all the pertinent (and detailed) changes from 3.0 to 3.5, so I can use all the 3.5 materials in my 3.0 campaign and contrast & compare the changes between the two so that I can decide which way to run my campaign, or even upgrade to 3.5. Yes, I know about the PDF. It’s eight freaking pages. Yes, I also know about the System Resource Document. It’s 800 pages. I’d like a comfortable middle ground, please, in print, that I can have at the gaming table.
