photo credit: neurolleroI just rediscovered a site I used to visit a lot - the WhyNot? Idea Exchange. People post ideas that they would like to see implemented and have feedback from others on how it can be done. For instance, Real Time Luggage Insurance or Recycled Shower H2O. This is [...]
Most people don’t think of Raleigh, North Carolina, as an ideal vacation destination. Most people, however, are misled. The truth is, Raleigh has quite a lot more to offer than you would ever think. From Southern charm to cutting edge culture, Raleigh has almost anything you could ask for. The welcoming, tree lined streets are [...]
Have you ever tried to get to the root cause of a problem, spending hours sweating over the details only to walk away from it for a while or even sleep on it and find yourself with the solution? This is the power of the human mind at the unconscious and subconscious levels. [...]
A flocking applet from Processing - a library that makes it easy to put together interesting graphics and animations for Java applets. I am finally getting around to playing around with it. This Flocking applet is motivated by the original Boids [...]
Well, here we are at the last Cambrian House IdeaWarz Tournament of Champions of the summer. Only about 50 ideas in this round, but I saw some interesting ones - maybe creativity is making a comeback:
RoadRunner Driveway oil mat - I guess I figured these existed already, but maybe not. A mat [...]
Sorting through 101 ideas this week over at Cambrian House and pulling out the most interesting - at least to me - of the bunch:
Rain Harvester - a BIG idea, but very interesting. With the potential of “Water Wars” - fighting over fresh water - in the near future, this is certainly something to [...]
I have never given so many thumbs down to ideas over at Cambrian House. I don’t know if I am in a bad mood or if the ideas are really that uninspired, but it has been dismal voting on ideas today. Here are some that do sound interesting:
Paraphrased - A wiki user driven [...]
I am browsing the weekly idea submissions over at Cambrian House. I hate to sound negative, but the quality of the ideas seem to be declining over time. The first ten I encountered I had to give 1 star (the lowest score). I am not saying it is easy to come up [...]
Cell phones displaying boarding information at airports (Which gate am I leaving from??)
Cell phone with motion detector - kind of a portable house alarm
Flash mod soccer - or pickup soccer games coordinated using - dare I say it - cell phones
Not sure how possible it is - Social Network Aggregator
The BEST idea of the week:
RAGS [...]
A couple of weeks ago I went back to Cambrian House - a place to vet your ideas and get feedback on them. It is an interesting forum for presenting and reading ideas. I have seen some original ideas, but I wonder how many people are really going to expose their truly brilliant [...]
The baby shower has been the domain for women only for the longest time; however, equality between the sexes continues every day. The old fashioned passing out of cigars to good old male friends upon the visit of the stork is being replaced by baby showers that include the less-fair sex. Now it [...]
How long has it been now? 1977? Say it isn’t so - The Police became a band seemingly yesterday for some of us, but it has been 30 years. It has been over 20 years since the trio split up in 1986 and Sting went out on his own making a big [...]
The Q awards are taking place today, I just wanted to blog about it to wish good luck to one of my favorite bands, Snow Patrol. Snow Patrol has their single Chasing Cars nominated for the event. Chasing Cars has been a hit in the UK and the US, plus it’s a great song [...]
Many people either don’t know or don’t care that extraterrestrial technology touches everyday human life here on earth. It literally drops out of the sky into the hands of potential exploiters everyday. Private individuals pretty much have the market captured for bringing truly useful xeno-products to the customer. Whether brought here by [...]
