proven: necessity is the mother of invention


today, i came up with what i think is a novel idea. i had a pencil, but no pad and needed to jot something down before i went back to my desk. but i did have my morning coffee i hand. 

you have note cards, notepads, notebooks...why not the note cup?

paper coffee cup and pen on hand, and voila! instant note taking capabilities. we even built on the idea using a ceramic coffee mug with a dry erase marker. 

i think we have ourselves a skymall gift in the making!

AND! This might actually encourage recycling. of coffee cups. until the rancid milk residue and inner-city transport sludge becomes too nasty to stomach.

but even then - could have the makings of "brilliant" new MOMA exhibit = 'commentary on contemplative commuting'

no?

My favorite part of this photo has nothing to do with your brilliant idea... it's the MRI questionnaire in the background. Classic.
