Quirky thoughts from an old man.
Selling Out
“The logical solution is the best solution, regardless of how that solution actually works in the real world.”
Photo is an unattributed photo that has been knocking around the internet for a few years.
Can Mega-Corporations be controlled?
How?
Is it necessary?
Then why aren’t you thinking more about the question?
Photo is a perspective deception at Balanced Rock.
Companies like Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, Boeing, Google
The photo cutouts at the stadiums in the Time of COVID could be an opportunity for some advertisers. Imagine this:
Levi’s says in ads: send us a picture of you wearing your Levi’s shirt and you can join the Levi’s Diamondbacks section free. Hundred of photos in Levi’s shirts would make people want to buy Levi’s shirts.
You can substitute some other company for Levi’s and you can change the idea. Iams could build a dog picture section.
I’m giving this idea to the Diamondbacks. Please forward to anyone you know in baseball.
“We can forgive a man for making a useful thing as long as he does not admire it.”
Oscar Wilde
In this case I see what Oscar means.

Last week we had dinner with Nancy H at The White Chocolate Grille in North Scottsdale. The door to the very nice restaurant is large and very hard to open. I asked about it at the host stand and was told that sometimes it is very windy and it will blow open on its own if it isn’t strong.
It gave me an idea that you could invent a door that had a remote Bluetooth sensor on the roof that adjusted the pull based on the wind speed. This I thought is a great new invention idea so I resolved to put it on the blog. A few days later while composing the blog post in my head I realized that if your going to mess around with sensors and electricity why not just electrify the door like they do in supermarkets. Proven technology already exists to solve the White Chocolate Grille’s problem. I wonder why they don’t use it.
The picture is from a decade ago in Chowchilla, California.
