The Problem
I like to see Christmas lights, we always put them in the windows of our home. I don't like putting them up or taking them down.The Solution
This solution allows you to stick Christmas lights or any holiday lights to any window, quickly and easily without un-doing last years bundled mess because they roll up, there is no bundled mess. Vinyl has a natural affinity to stick to glass (some form of static cling) without adhesive. I believe that this "cling" is strong enough to allow one to put tiny LED lights laminated between two thin sheets (about.007mm thick each) of vinyl on a roll or rolls of varying length that plug into one another that have various images etched on the inside (e.g snowflakes) with lights at set intervals, the etching will cause light to diffuse and glow. Or use them outdoors, they will also be weather proof. There are 150,000,000 strings of lights sold each year in the U.S. alone (although anecdotal data,(http://www.chacha.com/question/how-many-christmas-lights-are-sold-in-the-us-each-year) if it's half that, there is money to be made.Product Comparison

The Problem
Paper towels and toilet paper are typically sold in rolls and are perforated to assist the user in tearing off the paper. When these rolls are placed in a holder, it can be difficult to control the amount of paper that one tears off. Children and pets have a tendency to unravel the paper from the roll, which is wasteful. An excessive amount of toilet paper can cause a plumbing problem, which is not only inconvenient, but may be costly to repair.The Solution
When paper is needed, the user may pull the free end of the paper with one hand. The roll of paper rotates with the unbalanced spindle 180 degrees and then are both stopped by the stoppers. Under the force of the hand, the paper is cleanly torn off. The roll itself returns to its initial position due to eccentricity and gravitational force. The free end of the paper returns to its previous position and is ready for the next use.Product Comparison

The Problem
Have you ever enjoyed keeping all your computer cables neat and orderly? Me neither. I'm tired of the junk heap of cables under my desk! I'm tired of crappy cord trays, stick-on organizers that never stay put, and zip ties that you have to cut every time you add a new device or reorganize your desk.The Solution
Most modern desks have a metal frame or metal supports. So I made these cable keepers with super-strong rare earth magnets that will keep even the bulkiest cables in check. The elastic band provides flexibility when dealing with different cable thicknesses, and can be made in a variety of colors, so they are fun as well as functional.Product Comparison
