Now I’m sure this one has been done – maybe not successfully. An executive assistant service. For a monthly fee, you would be a part time assistant for wannabe executives at small companies who can’t afford one full time. Their calls would be forwarded to your home office, and you would arrange travel, type letters, etc.

This model is big business for network consultants, and I do the same thing with technical writing and it works pretty well. They’re under contract, so they pay me every month even when I do very little work for them.

[quote=flu]Good luck then![/quote]

While I do appreciate the condescension, I never said I was enthused enough to actually do it.

…[deleted because I shouldn’t take the bait]

I do believe it could work, though. None of the obstacles cited are deal breakers – e.g., wiring is already present behind many urinals for the auto-flush. The terminals could even be loss leaders to make up for any installation issues, and revenue from advertising split with the establishment might be helpful as well (it’s apparently working at gas pumps). An investor would want to test it in several markets first. Again, it’s one of those startups that takes a larger investment up front. For those with the cash and gonads, it could pay off. Or not.

[quote=flu]You’re thinking too much like a geek and not enough as a normal person (with all due respect). The majority of people hate technology, and much more so in a bathroom.[/quote]

The majority hate technology? That’s just crazy talk, considering the amount spent on TVs, laptops, smartphones, etc. This isn’t a ham radio after all, it’s essentially a TV made for very short attention spans. Like at a gas pump, only more entertaining.

[quote]Also, a bunch of drunk folks, would love to etch or fvck with the device…Think all graffiti in the bathroom.[/quote]
Hence the gorilla glass. You’re right though, maybe an Applebees restroom would be more appropriate than a bar.

What originally made me think of this is a bar that put bulletin boards over their urinals and stuck similar things to it.
