The PBS show Everyday Edisons features passionate, sometimes comically misguided inventors as they attempt to bring their new products to market.
Carlsbadistan resident Michael Diep (who escpaed from from Viet Nam by boat with his family in 1980) is one of the inventors the show will follow in its second season, according to a story in the San Diego Union-Tribune. His product: Emery Cat scratching post.
Michael Diep, who makes his living as a salesman and an entrepreneur, welcomed the chance to work with the program after seeing what happened with the products from the first season. They’re being sold in stories, through mail order or on the Internet. . . .The scratching post came to him after he helped his brother take a cat to the vet for a nail trim. The cat didn’t want to go, which meant a chase, a wrestling match, scratches, flying fur.
You can catch the first episode of Everyday Edisons today at noon on KPBS. The show will continue for the next 13 weeks.
