| 17:50.19 | frostyfrog | >_> I'm lame. |
| 18:20.50 | jlp_znc | oh. my. https://www.thegrommet.com/ergoergo |
| 18:21.13 | jlp_znc | I need to invent something trendy that the eco-nuts and yuppies will buy in droves. |
| 18:21.16 | spangborn | jlp_znc: Does it play accordion music? |
| 18:21.22 | spangborn | Because it should |
| 18:21.27 | jlp_znc | I don't know, but I agree, it should. |
| 18:22.41 | jlp_znc | "ErgoErgo is made of recyclable techopolymer." whatever that is. |
| 18:24.03 | jlp_znc | apparently it is PTFE. http://www.gapigroup.com/en-gb/products/ptfetechopolymers/compositeptfe.aspx |
| 18:24.45 | spangborn | I like that it costs $100 |
| 18:24.50 | spangborn | Someone is making a killing |
| 18:25.04 | jlp_znc | no kidding |
| 18:25.13 | jlp_znc | it's probably eight bucks worth of PTFE |
| 18:25.33 | jlp_znc | Polytetrafluoroethylene |
| 18:25.38 | spangborn | I wish I was that shrewd |
| 18:25.38 | jlp_znc | that's a mouthful |
| 18:26.37 | jlp_znc | "ErgoErgo challenges you to stay in an alert, upright position ..." but how do you nap on it? |
| 18:26.59 | spangborn | You buy 8 of them |
| 18:27.06 | spangborn | and put a piece of plywood on top |
| 18:27.07 | jlp_znc | :) |
| 18:27.25 | spangborn | Still cheaper than a purple mattress |
| 18:28.06 | jlp_znc | I'm going to make a mattress out of shredded bamboo. it will be biodegradable, so it will sell to everyone in oregon and california. |
| 18:28.15 | jlp_znc | it will be uncomfortable, so it will sell well in new york, too. |
| 18:28.34 | jlp_znc | watch for my kickstarter, coming in the spring. |
| 18:28.46 | spangborn | Sounds like something that would actually happen |
| 18:28.53 | spangborn | "Do you spend too much time in bed? We have a solution" |
| 18:29.08 | spangborn | "Sleep on a bed you hate, so you can spend your life being more productive" |
| 18:29.20 | jlp_znc | "worried your mattress will wear out? ours will rot before that happens, so you know when to get a new one" |
| 18:29.59 | jlp_znc | who do we know that can make some videos? this will be a youtube sensation! |
| 18:30.32 | spangborn | youtah just got a drone |
| 18:30.35 | spangborn | you could do some drone footage of it |
| 18:30.39 | jlp_znc | let's see... the sweet spot for pricing will probably be around $400 or $500. |
| 18:31.01 | jlp_znc | now we just have to figure out how to make and ship it for about $80 each. |
| 18:31.32 | jlp_znc | ha, assemble your own! you get a box with some bamboo poles in it, a machette, and a bag. |
| 18:31.50 | jlp_znc | oh, we have to do this. |
| 18:32.10 | jlp_znc | picture the drone footage of the mattress floating down the jordan river. "ideal for hurricane and flood zones!" |
| 18:33.10 | jlp_znc | aww, crap. https://www.cariloha.com/cariloha-bamboo-mattress.html |
| 18:33.11 | spangborn | lol |
| 18:33.46 | spangborn | That looks far too comfortable |

| 19:31.39 | jfindlay | jlp_znc: no excuse. You could still be successful: "Our competitors just aren't ironic enough" |
