Ponderings 8/28/11
1. I am having a hard time deciding whether it would be cool to have a hurricane named after you. Imagine having to go New Orleans and introducing yourself as Katrina.
2. It takes a surprisingly high amount of ice cubes to take a cup of hot coffee and turn it into iced coffee.
3. There needs to be a cell phone app for identifying someone when you see them. How many times have you seen someone and been unsure whether you know them or not? With this app you pretend like you are staring at your phone while this app identifies the person.
4. For some reason those five finger/toe shoes really crack me up.
5. I hate getting to the bottom of a tissue box where the tissues stop popping out one after another.

1. The trick to drinking more water is to use water bottles instead of glasses. Most people end up finishing the glass but never bother to get another glass. If you do this with water bottles you don't need to remember as often and you will end up drinking more water.
2. All the Olympians who ended up getting Silver Medals must cringe every time they see how well Gold is doing.
3. Sinks and Showers need to have temperature displays in addition to hot and cold indicators. The temperature display would accurately show the water temperature as the water comes out.
4. When I beat my alarm clock I know it's going to be a productive day.
5. As easy as it is to take notes on a Computer I still prefer taking notes on paper but then I realize no one else can read what I write and before I type it up I lose my notebook.
6. In order to help men aim better and to make using the bathroom more fun Restaurants/Bars should install horse races with targets for each urinal. The target would be placed in the urinal and the game would work just like the carnival game where you shoot water at the target to move your horse. When you flush the horse would go back to the front.

1. Getting regular (snail) mail from someone feels so much better than getting an email from that same person.
2. There is no way to remember all of your passwords. To make it even worse most work places and secure sites will make you change your password after 3 months. Anyways until sites move to bio metrics or lengthy quizzes here are my password guidelines:
A. Email is sacred and your most important account. Protect it protect it protect it and since you access it everyday you should use your most secure password and change it every 6 months.
B. Build a tier system where you use different passwords for different sites based on how important the data stored on them is.
C. For sites that you never know if you are actually going to use again just give a bogus password. You do not know if the site is actually secure and if you start visiting the site regularly you can use forget password functionality to change your password.
3.Shazam or another similar app needs to have a mode where it identifies every song over a period of time. So when you wake up the next day and have a song stuck in your head you can go back and find out exactly what song it is.
4. American football announcers need to learn from Spanish futbol announcers and start announcing touchdowns in the same way goals are announced in futbol. TouchDoooooownnnnn TouchDoooooownnn TouchDoooooown!
5. Friends should rotate a decision maker. On that day anytime a decision needs to be made the decision maker must make a call and the call is final.

1. All coffee places should start putting jokes on the bottom of the cup. (Outside not inside since the inside will be stained by the coffee.) After you finish your drink you flip the cup to read the joke. This idea is basically taking the jokes on Popsicle sticks idea to the corporate world. It would be perfect every morning everybody would be running around asking each other coffee cup jokes. Also you would be able to tell someone to stop drinking coffee when they come around for the fifth time with a new joke.
2. As soon as you are able to call someone by a nickname then you know you have gone past just being acquaintances and are actually friends.
3. Turning on something you want to use and realizing that it is out of battery is very frustrating. (Ex. MP3 player, Camera) Instead of providing no feedback when off all of these products should have battery indicators that are on even when the device is off.
4. Landlords really need to buy two dish washers for tenants so there is one for the dirty dishes and another for the clean dishes.
5. We will know competition in high school and college has gone too far when the grading system moves to the credit rating system. "Son why did you only get an AA+, if you want to be able to go too one of the top Colleges you need be pulling all AAAs in your classes."
6. Auto-correct is one of those things you always wanted that always gets you into trouble.
