What is This Thing?
Okay, it’s only taken me 4 years to get to this first entry, but I guess that’s better than nothing. Yes, I came up with the idea 4 years ago to have a site to showcase all of the extra ideas I came up with that I had little enthusiasm, or little energy to do…

Been Prepared
How about a book filled with acceptance speeches for all occasions? It could be entitled “Be Prepared” (or something similar) and could give you either the beginning spark for a speech of your own or the whole thing verbatim. It could include speeches for when you win: I did some preliminary research, here’s a text…

GraviTees
Perhaps a little bit morbid, but why not a line of T-Shirts that point out that life isn’t always perfect and happy? Won’t some people want “heavy” t-shirts just to point out the irony of it all? Here’s a list of slogan ideas:

In effect, it would be the solidification of a possible life experience through the intentional recreation of supposed memories of said events. Possible tag lines: “An Alternative to History” or “How (I Think) Things Were”.

Take Picture Here
This one brings the “real” world in line with the “virtual” one. We’ve all seen those “scenic vista” and “photo opportunity” type signs at national parks, theme parks, zoos, etc. They try to highlight just the right place for a little excitement to capture on film (or pixels).

Shut-Itster.com
Sitting through a web conference hyping Web 2.0 and web communities, I realize (yet again) how much I am not that demographic. I have rarely ever chatted, posted to newsgroups, hung out on blogs, etc. So, with the proliferation of MySpace, Facebook and Friendster, why isn’t there a Shut-itster which would be a (parody) social…
