The "Mad Scientist" blog!


This is a "mad scientist" blog in that I collect speculations, inventions and wonky, weird and other ideas that come to mind. I like to think that all of them are out or even far out but on the possible side of it.

They are mostly my own creation but you are invited to submit some yourself if you own them or are your originals. On the same token please note that all content and in particular original ideas are copyright by their respective authors.

If you like it, comment; you don't like it then comment too. But keep it professional.

REQUEST: mirror replacement+

Hi,
as the follically challenged person I am I find myself turning to odd angles and peek out of the corner of my eye to catch a non frontal view in the mirror. Quite to the amusement of anyone around. And, no, I don't consider myself vain -- although I grudgingly appreciate that you may get the impression.

So I wondered if anyone has started building TV screens to replace mirrors and indeed there are. And indeed there are quite a few. Unfortunately, I couldn't see if any of the devices allow recording and freeze frames. So here is my request to the manufacturers of the world.

Please create a mirror replacement that allows me to record my twirls in front of the flat screen TV and to play them back for review. Of course there are some privacy measures required to prevent the playback by other hands and to avoid the obvious abuse from others to steal the secrets of my expertly eradicating my beard stubbles.

I am sure that its use will extend way beyond the simple bathroom application.
