Invention: Rear View Mirror Partial Night Mode

The rear view mirror should have something that limits the amount of light reflected to dim bright lights.

That way we don't have to flip the rear view because of some knob with super high beams or one wonky misaligned light bulb that shines right into your eyes.

Invention: Balloon clips for ribbons

Somebody should invent balloon ribbon clips. This way we don't have to tie the damn things anymore.

All you have to do is feed the ribbon through the clip, clamp it.

Then create a loop and clip it again.

The clamp should be reusable and require no tying.

Invention: Alarm Clock with Weather Forecast

Whats the first thing you think of when you reach for the alarm clock? Well, apart from grabbing a hammer and smashing the snooze button to bits. Of course its "Whats the weather like today?" !

Why does it matter? Because that'll greatly determine if you bring an umbrella on a day where there'll be torrential rain or what you wear on a freak cold snap.

Shit transitional seasons like spring or autumn can lay a badass smackdown on your ass harder than a fullbred male netball team complete with Tom Selleck Magnum PI moustaches.

Invention: Hot water pipes that don't lose pressure

How many times have you tried to get the perfect mixture of hot/cold temperature before showering, only to have the hot water slow to a trickle just in time for you to hop in?

The reason behind this is simple. Cold pipes are smaller and expand when heated up. The thicker the pipe, the more pressure is required to push the water through at the same rate, which is why you need to turn up the hot water occasionally.

I wish some day that a smart person would invent a cheap material that would not expand when hot water flows through it, making it unnecessary for me to adjust the temperature!

Green Initiative: Compulsory "Earth Hour" every day for offices

A thought as I was riding up the lift to work today. If Earth Hour has proven so effective in savings energy (all unnecessary electronics and lighting is turned off for the hour it takes effect), why not take it to the next step and make it mandatory everyday for offices around the world?

We've seen it work, people are willing. Why not do it?

Invention: Inside Car Window Cleaner Thingymabobby

If you've ever owned a car for over a year, you'll know how annoying it is to drive during the colder rainy seasons due to the window fogging up from the inside.

This is due to some moisture crap in the car that heats up during the day and sticks to the inside of the window. The moisture can be from passengers, garbage in the car or just the cleaning agents people use to keep the interior clean.

When it comes to rubbing that crap off, oh man, you'll need elbow grease and determination. That shit is hard to get off. It takes a few hard rubs to get it off, a good cloth that wont dust it up and also a good angle to sit at.

The front window is fairly easy to clean compared to the back one, as you'd have to reach further into a weird position. Not to mention the fact that you'll NEVER be able to clean the very last bit of the window =\

Someone needs to invent a long arm cleaning thing like a broom for the inside of the car that just wipes it clean. Something like a window wiper would be awesome! One swipe and whalla, visibility is restored!

Invention: Mannequins with Gel Breasts

Walking through the shopping centre on the way to work, I noticed the lingerie store had some nice tidbits on mannequins.

However, the mannequins had plastic figures, which makes it a bit unrealistic as it doesn't show how the garments offered "proper support".

So, I put forth the idea that someone needs to start producing mannequins with gel chests (or whatever material is more appropriate) so it provides a more realistic example of how the item will look the customer.
