inventions

There have been so many things invented in New York...here are a few of them.

I've lived in New York State my entire life and I went through this list, having used most if not all of these products with no clue they were invented not too far from here. How many of these did you know?

There aren't many things the Capital Region is known for aside from the Saratoga Race Track, politicians, and the inventor of the toilet paper roll. One of the more notible inventions is the potato chip created in Saratoga Springs. For the second year in a row, you can enjoy the Chip Festival happening this weekend.

You know these "smart cars" that everyone seems to be blabbing about these days?  You know the ones --they have internet built in and can keep track of vehicles systems etc? Well this little gizmo will bring your jalopy right up-to-date.

I don't know about you but I have a hard time getting up in the morning. Currently I have four different alarms that go off about every ten to fifteen minutes to wake me up at 4 am. To be honest it barely works, So what is a guy to do? Well this young inventor may have solved the problem.

No, I haven't totally lost my mind - yet.  This is for real.  A guy has invented a bicycle made of CARDBOARD, and you can buy one for $20.00 if he has his way.

"Meet George Jetson, Jane His Wife"... What a great theme song, and what a great old cartoon that was.  But what made that show more amazing was how they could forsee some of the inventions that we have today

These guys on this morning show of ours drive me nuts.  They keep busting my chops constantly about my constantly advancing age (as if theirs DOESN'T advance).  I keep telling them that we all advance at the same rate, it's just that I had a head start.  I decided to embrace the fact.  I've even researched just how old I really am

This invention is much more in Sean and Levack's wheelhouse than in mine.  I'm more of a wine guy.  But if you are a beer lover, and a lazy one at that, this is for you.  All you need is an iPhone and a robot controlled refrigerator.

I should break into a chorous of "Don't Laugh At Me", by Mark Wills.   Once again, I got shot down on our show.  But I don't take it personally.  They all laughed at Christopher Columbus and Tom Edison too!   This is a great idea, and like all great ideas, people poke holes in it!  I'll show these naysayers a thing or two someday!

What a strange topic for a blog, right?  I know.  I kind of agree.  But on the other hand, this excites me.  A guy who looked at a powerstrip and said "enough!"  There's got to be a better way!
