What do you do with information?

 

Knowledge is not enough, the implications of knowledge are where it is at. It is not about information it is about what you do with it.

Philosophers with Utility

 

If we’re in an knowledge economy then what ideas we use and how we use them to create value becomes increasingly important. Philosophers are equipped to evaluate ideas and therefore have a huge service to offer a knowledge economy.

Relational Bookmarks

 

Scrape my book marks and 3d position them in a dynamic relationship based display. I want to just jump to bookmarks and have it be easy to find stuff and see what relates to what.

 

I also want some kind of rating system for bookmarks that works something like kayak.com’s flight departure / arrival tool. When you slide the bar things that get used often should float to the top.

 

Then you should be able to have groups of bookmarks and web history for sharing research with project teams too.

Sliding Note Pad in OS X

 

Sliding note pad from the side of the screen. Make it kinda like adium or the dock when it hides. I would love to have that.

Little Speckles

 

Ceiling fixing is a total mess and a huge market. There are so many ceilings that need fixing. Lets make it easy — huh?

Calories on Receipts

 

Calories… we eat them… we want them… we just don’t need all of them.

A Takeout Salad Shop

 

Why is it so hard to just get a great salad. I want it to be as easy to get a great salad as it is to get a sub sandwich.

Action Billboards? Tune your Radio?

I don’t know about you but I know I don’t ever change the channel or consider changing the channel on my car radio because I see a billboard for a particular radio station. Opps, I just thought of an exception — when I am traveling I do. But I can’t imagine that makes up for the costs.

Is the money being spent on billboards for radio worth it? Interstate billboards can cost in the range of $1000 and $5000 or more a month depending on traffic. Is there a better way? What function is this serving? It must, or they would quit doing it. Is it functional at all?

I never listen to KQRS but I see the billboards often. Still don’t listen and don’t plan too.

A Cheese and Weather Story

 

I am finding story in interesting places these days. How are you or could you be using story to move ideas forward?

It is not only what we are going to build

 

Do customers actually want what you are building or do they settle for it?
