I have a great idea.
I know. I don’t write for months, and then I hit you with, “I have a great idea.” Almost doesn’t seem fair, does it? But this really is a good idea. Really.
Remember the Mood Ring? You probably have one in your jewelry box, or in the sock drawer in that box of junque you keep meaning to sort through. They were all the rage for a while.
Well, my great idea is to revive the mood ring… sort of.
How many of you are familiar with taxi cab roof lights that inform you of the off duty or in service status of each cab? You know… it’s kind of like the little “use other window” sign that the bank teller puts out just as you make it to the head of the queue.
How many of you are familiar with people who use their personal autos for anything and everything other than driving?
Here’s the Great Idea…
Roof lights for every car that discern the attention level, the “mood”, as it were, of the driver, and signal that drivers condition automatically to the light. And rather than using color, like the ill-conceived color coded terror alert system, the roof light could spell it out.
Oh, yeah.

- Applying Mascara
- Texting
- Changing The CD
- Just Spilled Their Starbucks
- Looking For WIFI
- Dropped Their Cigarette
- Drunk As A Lord
- Just Not Paying Attention
- Almost To Road Rage
- Lost
You get the idea.
That way, those of us who just want to drive defensively have a snowball’s chance in hell of knowing who we are up against.
When some enterprising person grabs this idea and runs with it, don’t forget you heard it here first, and Great Ideas, 2% Net To Me.
