Introducing A Fun New Idea. Created By Someone Else.

I heard a fun little story on NPR this past week.  It was about a guy with an idea.  No, not me.

Dan Florio started a new website called runpee.com and it hits on a nerve (or a bladder) with me.  I ALWAYS think about this when I go to the movies. And he beat me to it.

Of course I never had the idea - I just had the problem.  The one he has now solved.

So, what is it, you ask?

Dan created a website that tells you when you can get up, go to the bathroom and not miss important scenes in the movie.  Will you miss part of the movie? Yes.  But only those scenes that are not integral to the plot.

So, now you have an answer to the age old question when returning from the bathroom . . .

What did I miss?

No more racing down the dark stairs and crashing into the flashlight-toting usher.  No more painful moments.  

I love ideas like these - and there are, I'm sure many other problems out there waiting to be solved.
