There is a plan to put vending machines in New York – selling energy drinks, snack bars, breath mints, gum and even pain relievers – inside yellow cabs won rave reviews yesterday at a city-sponsored contest for new business ideas.

“New Yorkers demand convenience. They want to be as effective with their time as possible,” said Brian Shimmerlik, an NYU Stern School of Business student who incorporated the company TaxiTreats in January.

Mounted next to the Taxi TV screens facing the back seat, the mini vending machines would be serving an all-too-captive audience.

“Who hasn’t flown into New York, grabbed a taxi, and had a terrible headache? Who hasn’t been late for a meeting, immediately regretted skipping breakfast, and suffered for the rest of the day? Who hasn’t left a meal and thought, ‘Wow, I’m self-conscious about my breath?’ ” Shimmerlik said.

Shimmerlik selected the products he plans to sell based on the most popular items at convenience stores. A report from NY Post.

The Philippines has a tremendous growing motorcycle riders and there is a demand for this new tent design from Denver-based Redverz Gear that provides an enclosed space in the tent to keep motorcycles safe and secure.

It can be difficult enough to get comfortable while roughing it in a tent without having to worry about the safety of your motorcycle as well. A new tent design from Denver-based Redverz Gear has that problem taken care of, however, by providing an enclosed space in the tent to keep motorcycles safe and secure.

Formerly known as The Nomad Tent Company, Redverz created its motorcycle-friendly tent out of frustration with traditional offerings, most of which leave motorcycles vulnerable to both the elements and prying eyes. “When we’re out on the road for weeks or even months at a time we want our gear and bike securely out of sight, we want to stand up to change clothes, a space to work on the bike and a tent that’s simple – slide three poles, and it’s up,” the company explains. Accordingly, its Series II Expedition Tent features a spacious garage bay that can be used not only to shelter a motorbike but also for cooking and relaxing under cover or as a storage area, workshop or dressing room. An inner tent, meanwhile, offers enough headroom to stand up and sleep two people in a footprint that accommodates a queen-size air bed. Priced at USD 449, the Redverz tent packs down to 10 inches by 21 inches and weighs 13 pounds. It is available in green and yellow. Be the first to distribute this in the Philippines there site is www.redverz.com

A New Zealand man named Sandy Sanderson made a business out of the aluminum softdrink cans that are so plenty here in the Philippines. This is a great negosyo idea for anyone who wants to starts small and the materials can be found readily.

Here is a report from Jalopnik. While finishing a canned beverage he thought of model airplanes he’d seen made from cans and thought why not make cars out of the same material? And thus was born the CanCar.

Now Sandy is selling copies of his plans for building the cars on his website for $10 each. A business that helps recycling and makes money…a great deal!

Ever annoyed driving in some exclusive roads that have humps which can be stressing to break, change gear and push the accelerator again? Well here is an innovative idea that is good to have here in the Philippines.

They call it “smart” but I think it’s genius: Concern about the environmental impact of excessive breaking and accelerating has led Mexico to develop a “smart” speed bump writes USA Today.

When a driver is going the speed limit, the bump retracts into the ground. Says the company manufacturing the device: “With this speed bump, people will feel rewarded for obeying the law.”

Tarpaulin printing business are popping up everywhere in the Philippines right now, with so much competition, one needs to have some unique ideas in order to stay afloat. Here is a great idea to help the tarpaulin business or start your own niche business using the large format printers use in tarpaulin printing.

On even the most tastefully appointed of houses, garage doors tend to be drab and monochrome eyesores, designed apparently without even the smallest nod to aesthetics. A German company aims to change all that, however, with large-scale posters that transform the doors through highly realistic 3D images.

Style-your-garage.com’s photo tarpaulins are available with a variety of motifs and images that are sure to cause neighbours, friends and passers-by to stop and stare.

A photographic version of trompe l’oeil, some are designed to give the impression that unusual contents can be found in the garage, such as an airplane, race car or monster-sized kitty. Others aim to provide a glimpse of the world beyond the garage door, such as a Tuscan landscape or what seems to be the home’s very own golf course.

Another series, meanwhile, aims to give the garage door itself another look altogether, such as through a rustic wooden appearance. Consumers can also upload the digital image of their choice and have it turned into a customised photo tarpaulin. In fact, Style-your-garage.com invites consumers to submit ideas for new designs as well, and promises a share of the profits if their idea gets accepted.

The company’s posters are designed primarily for up-and-over garage doors but can be adapted for sectional or wing doors as well. Crafted from material similar to that used for truck tarpaulins, they are rip-proof, weather-proof and even come with a fire safety certificate.
