Laziness: The Weird Uncle of Invention
February 25th, 2010 by jay
OK, this may rank up there with some of my more ridiculous schemes, but I get tired of holding my ipod touch while watching movies. This allows me to relax more effectively, which is, of course, the real priority.
Conclusion: It’s a little too springy, so you have to sit pretty still while watching. Another generation of development may be in order. On the whole, however, it functions as designed. I used it laying down in bed last night and was quite satisfied with the results.
As usual, my wife laughed at me. Genius is never truly appreciated.

I’m loving it. I totally get how your brain arrived there!
Here’s what I think you need to mount the Touch on: http://m.gmgrd.co.uk/res/203.$plit/C_71_article_1020080_image_list_image_list_item_0_image.jpg

My 18 year old daughter thinks this is AWESOME!
(stopping by from your sisters blog)I think this would have been helpful to her when she was snowshoeing

I bet that old dude could use some entertainment. As for snowshoeing, I would probably have to include a disclaimer against inappropriate uses.

Maybe not so sweet. From Gizmodo:
The plastic window fades and distorts your video, which severely impairs the cinematic experience the As-Seen-on-TV Hat tries so very hard to provide. The magnifying glass is adjustable (you can move it closer or farther from your scared, stressed little eyes) but not removable, so you’re stuck with a distorted picture that was already blurry and faded from the plastic window covering your video-playing device.
Oh, and you’ll definitely go both blind and celibate if you use this too long. It’s kind of a twofer that way.

Oh, Jay! You make me laugh. I could totally see someone wearing that on a regular basis! Daniel and I are cracking up!
