A great way to get out of a boring meeting
Aug 28, 2008 Found Online, Just Plain Awesomeness
…or a bad date!
There is a website called “Get Me Out of Here“ that will call you at a specified time and give you an “out” to whatever scenario you are in at the time. You give it the date and time, your phone number, and then you choose from a list of different conversations you can have.
When I tested it, I did the “Burglar alarm” call. When you answer the phone, it tells you what to say to make it sound authentic. There are several options, but if you have a meeting coming up, this might be a great way to escape the clutches of boredom.
An air-conditioning seat cushion that keeps the ol’ “rear” cool

“The built-in fan pushes over 170 liters of air per minute through the cushion, dissipating the heat and moisture around your buttocks that causes discomfort and sweating.”
Plus, there is a model that turns on and off based on when you are sitting down. The inventor of this deserves a prize.
Sold!
