I've been waiting for a way to "TiVo" my life, since I'm always too late with my camera to capture the moment: It's only AFTER something cool's happened that I say to myself, "Gee, that would've been worth taking a picture of. Wish I could rewind that last 30 seconds."
Eric Nylund wrote a couple of SF novels, "Signal to Noise" & "A Signal Shattered", that featured spray-on spacesuits. This was my only gripe with an otherwise awesome pair of books, because an individual was supposedly able to apply it to themselves out of a can, apparently over their clothes, with a solvent spray for removal afterwards. What about their back? What about overspray? What about... ? Too many problems with that idea, so I just had to let it go in order to enjoy the rest of the story.
