During the past few months, I’ve been kicking around the idea of an integrated watch/cell phone/mp3 player. With bluetooth technology, you can have wireless comms between a watch and a hardddrive type mp3 player. I’m sure it wouldn’t be hard to integrate cell phone functionality with one of those players. Then you just scroll through listing that you sync on your watch, it sends a signal to the mp3/cell unit to dial that number. You put on your bluetooth wireless handsfree earpiece, and talk all you want. Blue tooth has a range of about what, 15 feet or so? While traveling, I’ve noticed that a lot of people carry shoulder bags, or briefcases, so the main unit could be left there, and all you would need would be the watch/earpiece. Probably even figure a way to make wireless earpieces for both ears, so you could play the mp3’s through them. All this technology exists, it just needs to be put together in one package. Every time I see them add something else to a cell phone, I think they’re adding stuff that most people won’t really want. sigh…now if only I knew someone at sony.
It’s coming.

"Researchers at Edinburgh University’s Centre for Reproductive Biology have finally found a way to suppress daily sperm production while maintaining normal testosterone levels. This was not an easy task given that men emit millions of sperm in each ejaculation, while women only produce one egg per month.
From the results of these studies, Organon, a pharmaceutical company in the Netherlands, has developed a pill that is set to go on the market by 2005. The pill has proven to be 100% effective in preliminary clinical trials. "
Well, yes, but I’ve never found one that is precisely the correct size, so sometimes you still get some damage to the Tart, especially to the corners. What I had in mind was something like the Cheerio/Oreo/Teddy Graham/Goldfish shaped containers for toting said items around that you see in the grocery store sometimes, except that it looks like a Pop-Tart and is sized correctly for a package of two . 
Or, how about a door that becomes transparent and a light comes on with the push of a button, like this only in reverse?

Curse those engineer types… they’re always ONE step ahead… :mad:
I’ve been kinda waiting for the mass-market home-shop laser saw for the last decade or so. The idea of nice, square precision cuts with no fuss, and almost no cut waste is very appealing.
Still not available at Home Depot after all this time (what, is the safety guard too tough to design? Power requirements too high? I know businesses have had similar (but big) such tools for years).
Would a hard-shelled thin pencil case work as a Pop-Tart holder?
