High end pet feeder.
A microphone that's always streaming to the internets.
A robot to clean my roomba.
Turn a roomba into a cheap telepresence robot so I can roll into meeting rooms.
A really small bluetooth phone ringer/vibrator that can be easily concealed cause I wear clothing with no pockets, or tight jeans, and my cell phone is always in my pocketbook and if it's the slightest bit noisy around me I never ever hear my phone ring, especially when I'm out in noisy bars and people are calling me wondering 'hey, where are you? we're supposed to meet up an hour ago' but I never heard the call because I'm wearing clothing that is not cell phone friendly. Despite all of this I am always surprised I have 10 missed calls.
