Too late...damn


So, I was thinking about Jake's project after class today, and I got all excited about a product idea. I checked it out to see if anyone had done it already, and they had. I'll bet this is going to be a big seller. It's basically a tombstone with wireless internet connection and video screen. The screen displays a facebook-like page that anyone can contribute to, or it could be some canned version.  It would only go on if someone came near while visiting the grave. I know this sounds crazy, but I'll bet they do very well with it.
Here's a link to the patent. It was filed in 2002 and issued in 2006. Also, check out the sideways picture below of a whole cemetery full of them! Kind of twilight zone-ish.
