Ring design concept.

One ring contains a small screw sticking out of its top. The other ring contains a matching nut that the first ring can be screwed into. When a couple walks down the street, they can join the screw and nut together, so that their hands are always together, even when they're not holding hands.

Thedailywh.at.

I want to make a site that re-presents posts from thedailywh.at (or similar site) exactly two years after their original presentation. This represents the circular nature of the internet and how everything that you've already seen is new to someone. Also, it shares a parallel artistic statement with NBC's 1999 television reruns campaign - 'It's new to you!'

Music videos.

This is both an idea and a prediction of sorts based on my own desires and predilections. I believe we're in a sort of renaissance of music videos. I rarely listen to music on itunes or other radio programming. Instead, I usually watch videos on a Youtube or Vimeo playlist. Even if I'm not watching the video, I choose to listen to music that way. Unfortunately, there is no 'record player' for music videos. There's no way to really invite that outlet into a party, unless everyone wants to crowd around your computer. My idea/prediction is for a record-player for music videos. My guess is that it would be a projector add-on to a typical stereo system or computer, with the CD/DVD/tape player playing music videos along with the music. This, I think, is a great way for a band like OKGo to finally make money, since videos are their stock-in-trade. People could buy the music video as a single (and I think people can buy music videos on itunes and such, but really the crux of the idea is how to play them), providing them finally with their income. La la la, other details, you get the idea, this sounds better in my head. Not all good ideas are simple!

Open IDEO.

IDEO has these idea competition things now. These are two ideas I submitted for their Jamie Oliver challenge to communicate the need for fresh food and proper meals to children. Not the best ideas I've ever had, and Alex Grinton gets a slash on one of them, but I present them here for posterity:

put an ad agency up for review and have other agencies pitch for that agency's business. so you can say things like w+k does the adverts for goodby.

a cable television show

a show that follows the lives of people who are obsessive disposers. this show would pretty much be hoarders but the opposite. a show following folks who just can't seem to hold on to anything.

Someone should create a bunch of 9/11 ads

supporting various and disparate products that can only loosely be related to 9/11. And then go viral! ::jumps in air::
