Techno rave visuals usine MS. Excel

As you may know (I might have written it on here) I LOVE excel.  For some reason it is so fun and awesome.  Anyway I am frustrated by how all artistic visuals that go along with music performaces tend to be these sallow washed out trippy tie dye colors.  Heres my idea: using conditional formatting and the RAND function, together with some other calculations to add control, you can make colors and boxes that move and jump around.  Gonna have to try it sometime.

High School Elective

Its your life... Let's kick ass!!!
A class in high school about having fun with success, getting things done, making time for work but more time for play.  Give HS students a reason to want to have discipline.  Making big bucks! Doing awesome stuff! Living the life they want to live!  I think it will really resonate.  The kids are calling out for this stuff.

Why do they make subway cars so tough?

Living in nyc now I've been riding on the subway quite a bit.  I've noticed that the subway cars are really strong and heavy, made from lots of steel.  Why do they need to be so strong? I feel like they could have a thin walled skiff and that would mean enegy savings not to mention improved schedules since they could stop faster.  Now, they just seem way ovetengineered.

Rfid Memory cards built into post-its

So you can store text files and other information as 'attachments' to the paper post it, on which can be written a note and a description of the attached file. Would be even better if the file could be read by ones phone or computer using hardware that is already present, like bluetooth or wifi.

Awesome idea to product website

Found this recently as Kluster.com went out of business, and got merged into this company. Cooler idea - people submit product ideas, people vote on them, then winning ones actually get made into products and then sold. The idea generator has to pay $99 to get the idea in, then they get some of revenue as the product is sold. People who vote and comment also get some of the revenue. Looks like they are also generating a lot of data.

Pretty darn cool.
