Let's "invent" silly/fun & useless things! πͺπ€ͺ
I've been having a really rough go of it lately. Do you know how they say that when you're not feeling well to exercise and that it's not only good for your body but it's good for your mood? It'll lift your mood. Well, I have found that playfully exercising my imagination, my creativity does very much the same. It opens the doors to curiosity and wonder and and it hits those neurotransmitters that boosts my mood

Hey, your mind is fascinating. I tell you, I find it fascinating. So on this frigid early morning, I really need to get a run in. I've been I am so going to miss spring and summer. The ability to get up at 06:00 a.m. And get a quick weekend run in, and the temperature is perfect. My fingertips are numb, and I've done a number of things this morning since being up at 05:20 a.m. To try to get a run in
I know you don't have the dog anymore, but for whatever reason, when I imagine you out doing your run or your walk, I still picture the dog there anyway. So we could also incorporate some facet of being able to expand the poncho bubble so that it could include a pet on a leash. Not too super big, right, but just big enough
It just would do it. That is so cool. And I love the idea of the spray can being rainbow, too. Maybe we could even decide, okay, this puff is going to be rainbow, this puff is going to be blue, or this puff is going to be sparkles, glittery, sparkles. But I feel you. You know what someone said to me here on Swell, maybe last year, that when they were feeling depressed

So he made an umbrella, which you can carry on your shoulders, like a backpack or a school bag or whatever. And while a lot of people made fun of him, but I found it ingenious. I mean, when you hold an umbrella, your hands are occupied, so you cannot really take calls properly or okay, today in the sage of AirPods, maybe taking calls is not a problem
I took a walk in the rain a couple of months ago, and I wanted to use my camera to film the raindrops, but it was like, okay, I'm balancing the umbrella and the camera, and it just was not that easy. So that invention would come in really handy

Hi Christina. Yeah, I know, right? That would be great to have your hands free when you are using an umbrella. I mean, I would totally buy that. No matter if other people were trolling him or, you know, calling that invention as useless, at least I found it useful, to be honest. And I think you made such a valid and strong point that it is like exercising your creative muscle. That is absolutely true

Hey. So, okay. Thank you both for enjoying my climate bubble poncho. And I do enjoy or like, the expansion of including a pet, because, listen, Christina, you mentioned about me not having a pet anymore, and I've joked about it being an open adoption. If I could make this climate bubble poncho work, I will go back to the girl and her family that I gave the dog to and be like, look, I need them back
Or even if it's just you by yourself and you want to sing or you want to talk to somebody on the phone, then you could have that. I'm going to build in all sorts of features to this climate control poncho bubble thing. Air ventilation, sound canceling. Or maybe it's sound permeable. Just like maybe air permeable sort of somewhat. You know what I mean? Okay, now here's a preposterous idea, but I kind of like the idea of it
And here we are. Okay, so I love first the idea of you marketing it so that you can either buy these upgraded features or even you could do your subscription. These days, everything is subscription based. And so then it's kind of like you pay one fee and you get access to all the features or filters or whatever. But anyway, this third thing I was thinking of working into something was AR augmented reality, like filters
