I have a post I’ve been meaning to write all week but definitely didn’t get around to. Look for it Monday.

In the meantime, here are Five Friday Thoughts:

1. If you buy a product that has a “patent pending” label, they should send you some sort of notice if the patent is approved or rejected.

2. If every auto insurance company can save you hundreds of dollars by switching to their service, why don’t they all just lower their prices by hundreds of dollars and stop wasting the ad money.

3. DVRs should have an option to add your own labels or notes to your recorded shows so you can let others in your house know you haven’t watched that one yet and they shouldn’t delete it.

4. Jay-Z, because you keep asking in your song “Run This Town”, nothing’s up with me. Sup with you?

5. Twitter should follow Google’s lead and do special features for holidays by creating trending Tweet lists for historical events. Wouldn’t it be entertaining to see how the Boston Tea Party, Moon Landing, Nixon’s resignation or Elvis’ death would have trended?
