Alarm lamp and NaturalOcean

Ok, so we have a fish tank, a little 5 gallon thing, and at night I click to turn off the light, and in the morning I click to turn on the light. Well I thought about it and I kept thinking how messed up it was for the fish, b/c they are swimming along and BLAM its night time, then they are sleeping and POP its morning. To me this is stupid. So I thought we should invent a tank light that when you click it, it slowly fades to dark, like twenty minutes, and the opposit in the morning.



This got me thinking about my own sleep patterns and about how we as stupid humans wake up to alarm clocks, a completely unnatural object that violently cracks us awake, no wonder we always hit snooze. Well what if there was a lamp, that 20 minutes before the alarm went off would slowly begin to turn on. It would do it without notice and when your alarm (built in to the lamp) finally went off, your body/conscience would be prepared to arise for the day. We could market it to the hippies/herbalists. I made a picture of what I am talking about too.

ComingNever.com

Ok, lately I have been listening to Mr. Brightside by the Killers (thanks buddy by the way), and for some strange reason there are certain songs that are just Great in movie previews. And some movie previews are actually better than the movies, like the Garden State example. And I keep listening to Mr. Brightside and in my head put a movie preview to it. So here is what we do. Start a website that makes previews to movies that do not exist. So people go there and watch a preview and then it says coming....never. Get it? Anyway, we will make money b/c people will go to our website and see our mad preview making skills. I can be the graphics man, you can edit in iMovie. I had more thoughts on this but this stupid blogger keeps f*cking up after I click post. This is the 3rd time Ive posted this.

Dirty Work Domain

Do you remember the movie Dirty Work? Well, here is an idea similar to that. Let's say that you hate your boss, wife, friend, etc. What is the best way to get back at them? A nasty domain. We will start purchasing domains such as: gusisadick.com or stanisahomo.com. We can then create the website based on your hatred for this person.

So if you hate Gus you send in photos, stories, quips or whatever to say about that bastard Gus. It is perfect even for a gag gift at Christmas time. Domains for the holidays, domains for a bad day, etc. The ideas are endless. Essentially we will come up with ideas for websites, buy the domains, and then market, sell, and design the domain and website to the end user --> people like you and me!

A Link

You have got to check out this site. Just click on the "GB" button to get English. You have got to watch the videos.

Idea of the Century...

Here it is: Disposable floormats for your car. They are going to be made out of the same material as those tree air fresheners that you hang from your rearview mirror. As an added bonus the floormats will also double as an air freshener. Obviously they would not be as pungent as the tree freshener, but the scent will be good.

The packaging would be exactly the same as the tree fresheners and sold in the same places: gas stations, Wal-Mart, auto stores etc. They would be perfect for winter-time to protect your mats and in the summer a great alternative for an air freshener. Start printing the money...

Domain Names

Just some random google knock-offs that I thought of...
1) googledgoogle.com
2) idreamofgoogle.com
3) googlebumps.com

Check out What is asdf?

It is a pretty cool concept.

Websites: Blog Updates

I agree, we are making some progress on this here blog. I had an idea for our idea blog. Wow, I know that most likely, I just blew your mind. Anywho, I think that we should have an "Inspirations" section or something like that - AKA Links page where we can throw some websites that we like to check out. I have two sites to throw on here tonite and we can worry about the links page later....

1)
The Superficial
2) The Republica

PS I am diggin' the regifter page idea - I am going to post a comment to that one.

Service side websites

This blog is bumpin!!!! Nice Robot idea. Very futuristic. The forward thinking is good.

I've got a couple of ideas to add to the thunderdome. They are both websites.
1) Okay, so there are a lot of idiots out there. Well maybe not idiots, but people that do not want to take the time learn how to do something. Like say, sell something on eBay, or start a blog for example. Well here is what they do, they go to our website and they can enlist a support agent to help them do that. Maybe call it JoinTheHighway.com or something.
For example, someone says to themselves, how do I get an email account? They go to our website and they can either call us by phone, or we send someone to their house to show them personally on their computer how to set up an email account.
How do I???? install my printer...we'll send an agent.
How do I???? hook up my VCR...we'll send an agent.
... you get the point.
The reason I thought of this is because of this "information gap" where older people that do not know how to do certain things like this but wish to. My father for example can rewire his entire house, explain to me how a thermostat works, but still has trouble checking his email.
Other possible names for the sites askthegeeks.com, throwoutthemanual.com.
Also geeks around the country can join our website a get paid by going to these people's houses and stuff.

2) Another is called regifter.com. Okay for some strange reason (probably the marketing machine) people are guilted in to buying people gifts for Christmas. So what happens, every year you get crappy gifts for crap you do not want. I have a few gifts this year that I am like, "what? why would you think I would want this?" So what happens is people go to regifter.com and they can donate these gifts to the site. These gifts would then be donated to charities or sold for profit (with profits going to charity). I got this idea b/c people would go online and send crap to soldiers in Iraq, but soldiers in Iraq arent the only people that need crap. I am not sure about the whole charity side thing or how it would really work (also its a glorified eBay), but its an idea in early seed stage. Keep bloggin!!

Ideas, they come they go.

Nice sites human clock is, may I say... Excellent.

Another idea that I came up with involves small robots. That is right, I said robots. This is how it works: I was watching the Discovery Channel the other day and saw a show about sharks with those small fish that follow them everywhere. You know, the ones that eat all of the bacteria off of the sharks body. My plan is to produce small, almost microscopic robots that crawl all over the human body - 24/7 cleaning and sanitizing the body. I have not worked out the technical end of it yet, but that is the gist of it.

Prediction: In the future we will no longer use hand soap and faucets to wash our hands, these tiny robots, or mechanical objects will handle most of our daily personal hygiene.

More inventory clearing

Okay, this is my third attempt at this post, I keep accidentally deleting it(doh!). I remembered a couple of ideas that I forgot to blast on the Thunderdome. I guess that memory of mine is going in my old age. I turn 25 this year. AH!! Here they are:

1) Shop-dromat. Put a laundromat in Wal-mart. I would explain more but I have twice already and I am tired of talking about it. Drop off your clothes, spend more time in Wal-mart (and more $), and pick them up warm, fresh, and folded.

2) The previously mentioned mouse glove. My right hand is FREEZING. And it is always my right hand, b/c it is on the mouse.

So there you go. No new ideas lately, oh well you just cant replenish genius. Here are some fun links for you to explore while at work.
Curiously strong mints
Another for fun
