Black people talking during the movie.

I want to make a website that re-releases trailers whenever new ones come out that feature black people talking through the trailer. If I had any sort of talent at all. Also, separate commentary tracks on DVDs for 'black people talking during the movie.'

Gift Card Exchange Website

It's a website that facilitates the trading of gift cards. You can post the amount on the gift card and what it's for, and then search for someone to trade with. Instead of trading the actual gift cards through the mail, the website would transfer the balances on the gift cards to new gift card numbers and those new numbers would be emailed to the users when the trade is made. You can still shop at brick-and-mortar stores with just the numbers rather than actual cards because most stores are able to type it in manually at the registers.

Baby Cheesus

A cheese mold shaped like baby jesus, resting in a manger made of crackers and breadsticks.

Keyboard with mouse.

When I'm not really typing much, I sit further back and just use my mouse and it annoys me that I have to move up to type small words, passwords and such. I'd like it so that, if I wanted, a keypad appears on screen and I can use my mouse to hit the letters.

Pandora ideas.

Well, me and Josh aren't doing anything with them. Co-credit to Josh on all of them.

1) Similar to the ability to tag songs in iTunes according to lyrical content (sad, leaving, other, more complex emotions) idea from a ways back, this would let you type in 'sad' in Pandora and it would be more themed music.

2) When you go into Target, you can text Target a '+' or '-' to tell them that the song they're playing is good or bad. Enough minuses and it goes to the next song. Enough pluses and they'll play more songs like that.

Party Playlist Generator

Enter different characteristics of your planned party, and the generator spits out a playlist of songs you should play. You would be able to describe the type of people attending your party (college friends, co-workers, family member, etc), the probability that people will be dancing, whether you want familiar songs or obscure ones, and choose which genres of music you want in your playlist. Partnerships can be formed with digital music stores, and the site can link to those stores where you can buy the tracks in your playlist.

When a plant needs water,

it should, like, beep or something. Or become sentient and be interesting.

Cigarette companies should cure cancer.

Problem solved.

Transporting food.

Something to put on your car seat so that whatever food you're transporting doesn't go every which-a-way.

Live video of your desktop.

So I was trying to explain design-y things to someone earlier and I had to keep making pictures and uploading them and that was slow and annoying. This is like video-chat, except the video is focused on your desktop. Live feed of your desktop. So if a designer is showing work to his copywriter, for instant, relevance, etc., they can move things left and right and change colors and their partner can see and comment on the changes over many distances, rather than saving as pictures and sending, saving as pictures and sending.

The only thing we lack

is an entrepreneurial spirit. A website that allows people to put up ideas and then pair them with people who are willing to put up capital for that idea.

Theaters that block cellphone reception.

I was in a theater last night and I noticed I didn't even need to bother cutting my phone off because there wasn't any reception. Theaters should, like, lead paint or asbestos so that nothing can come through so that it's not even a problem. I'm sure this could be argued as some sort of new-fangled 'fire hazard' but you know what, motherfucker?

Private twitter.

I tend to just send things to Twitter that I need to remind myself of later 'cause I ain't got access to my book or some-such, but I still want to be able to share links and other like-mind. What do I do??? Give me an option where I can just type some sort of code that sends certain messages to a private Twitter and the rest go pooblic.

Here's what I want.

I'm big on music videos, especially lately, and the way I work it is that I open up two windows, put Youtube to the side as far as it will go, and let muh regular browsing take up the greater portion of my screen, which ends up more often than not to be annoying and cluttered. What I want is some way to add a Youtube feed in the bottom right or left corner of a screen that plays videos at sized portions that I indicate, so it can stay safely out of my way as I do my browsing shit.

Motherfucker, I made a visual example because I am a cool motherfucker, and am unable to describe things properly:

Team Apparel for Grandmas

My grandmother loves the Phillies. My grandmother also loves wearing embroidered sweatshirts with flowers and puppies. I could never buy her a team sweatshirt because she would look more like a crazy sports fan than she would my grandmom. I know they make college sweatshirts in the grandma style that say things like Hokie Grandmom or Gamecock Grandma, but I don't know if I've ever seen similar styles for professional sports teams. What it all boils down to is I want to buy my grandmom a Phillies sweatshirt with flowers and puppies for Christmas.

Ranked list generator

I was thinking of this idea in the context of online communities that discuss music, books, movies, or restaurants. Toward the end of the year, members of these communities like to make "best of" lists and usually you end up with a lot of different lists and no real accumulation that represents the community's overall "best of" list unless someone takes on the task of tallying up the votes.

There should be a website that takes care of the dirty work. One person from an online community would create an account or group for his or her community, then the members of that community would go to the website to submit their lists.

Since there would not be someone to correct spelling mistakes on the lists (like if someone wrote Kayne West instead of Kanye West), perhaps users could make their lists by searching Amazon, iTunes, or IMDb and selecting the correct album, book, song, or movie.

You could also get a lot of interesting data from the lists that you might not get otherwise unless the person in charge is good with statistics or is an Excel wizard. And these lists don't have to be limited to favorite entertainment things. Maybe you want to compile a list of everyone's favorite words or something.

Another randomizer

A program that shuffles and combines 1. an iTunes song and 2. a video (YouTube, Vimeo, youu knoow). Like Daft Punk and a dancing cat. It works!

Another iTunes idea

I think we have a few of these, but whatevs.

I wish for an option on the iTunes Store to let me listen to the previews of all the tracks on an album without having to click on each track individually. That is all.
