We recently went to out to eat, which is something we don’t do much of, and in the old days, when you had to wait, you would give the hostess-type person your name, and they’d call it out when a table was ready. Not anymore! They handed us this big blue coaster with an LED inside of it. Oh, it had a lot of LED’s but only one was lit up. You hold onto this coaster and when it’s your turn the thing lights up like a christmas tree and starts to vibrate. Yes, it’s the Coaster Call from the folks at LRS.

I was actually surprised they didn’t take it a step further, and sell advertising space on the coaster call, because the first thing I thought when I saw “COOL BLUE” was that it was some kind of alchoholic berverage. Those guys at Long Range Systems might be missing out on a goldmine…
