Idea 2011-03: Education for Sale. Cheap.

Thank you Anna for the following brilliant idea.

As I am the proud owner of an undergrad degree, a master's degree, and am currently in the midst of master's number 2, I determined that by the time I'm finished I will have earned 219 credit hours which calculates out to a ridiculous 73 classes.

Because I clearly have a surplus, Anna suggested that I sell the excess ones using an online exchange. For a small fee, people can exchange the credits they don't need for credits they do need. In her words, "I could exchange my lit credits for something useful, like physics!"

Idea 2011-02: Beers-on-Wheels

M.A.D.D. will love this idea! Beer delivery. Think of the market for this. Those "in need" (and of age) can order their supply of alcohol and other sundries over the internet or the phone. At which point, properly sober (and of age) drivers can pick up the orders and deliver it to the customer.

Not only will it reduce drunk driving, but also it will put alcohol efficiently into the hand of those in need providing a very important social service. What could be better!

Idea 2011-01: Pan-Free Cooking

Thought I would grease the wheels of my idea factory with a simple one. Pan-free cooking.

As I was cooking sausages this morning, I was a little over zealous with the pan shake required to move the sausages around to stop them from burning. One of the sausages leapt out of the pan and on to the burner.

Because I had cleaned the oven top the night before, I was able to save the sausage AND came up with a brilliant idea at the same time.

I have a glass-topped stove top that is perfect for pan-free cooking. Just heat it up and slap the food right onto the hot surface. Remember to use non-stick cooking spray and it would be best to invest in a nice sharp scraper (found in the spackling section of your locale Lowe's or Home Depot). You will have a home-cooked meal in half-the time. You might even get to spice it up with a Cajun styled outer crust.

Ideas for Sale. Cheap.

Well, I'm experimenting with a new idea. I have a friend who spends a lot of time and energy making me feel like a savant whose primary talent is thinking. Apparently, I have lots of "brilliant" ideas. Unfortunately, I don't have the motivation, skills, or attention span to actually implement them. In response to this problem, I decided that I will create an ideas store.

Here and now. People can shop the store and, if they see something that they cannot resist, they can buy the idea. Cheap. (Unless it is especially brilliant. In which case, they might have to pay a premium, but I haven't worked out all the details yet.)

Because I'm daring to trust you, be forewarned. If I find you using my ideas without prior authorization (and a valid credit card number), I will hunt you down, find your diary, and read it to your mother IN FRONT OF YOU. Every word.

Enjoy!
