RaffyJohn.com Rocks In My Head

I am pretty good at remembering to quiet my mobile whenever I go to a movie or any where else I need my phone silenced. What I am not good at is remembering to turn the ringer back on.

I’d love the profiles on my Blackberry to be more dynamic, so when I am switching between them, the BB could ask me how long I would like to stay on that profile for. Say, 2 hours for a movie. Then after those 2 hours are up, it switches back to the ‘Normal’ profile.

There are hundreds of little home DIY projects that homeowners need to tackle. Installing a new faucet, fixing holes in drywall, painting, the list goes on. The annoying part is not the the actual act of repair, but going to Home Depot or Menards and not knowing exactly what tools you need.

There has to be an easier way.

Imagine a simple machine that accepts a key and spits out copies. Something you would find at Target, Walgreens, or even a grocer - Something anyone could use, completely automated.
