Successful businesses are often created by people solving a problem that seriously vexxed them.

I created my vehicle cost of ownership calculator because nothing like it existed, and I was frustrated.

Back before LEDs were available in automotive applications, I built my own. If I'm building my own in 2003, there's probably a market for it.

In 2004, I wondered why all taxis were Crown Vics and not a Prius. Now they are ubiquitous.

I've been meaning to create a spreadsheet of things that annoy me, as possible business opportunities.
