Ideas for 30/10/2013

1) The James Franco smile works well with senior citizens. What? Old people seem to relate to the crinkled eyes. They say hello back, quite cordially too.

2) Calculate HSC scores accurately. How to do it? I think boredofstudies.com.au has one, but I really want one that hits the nail on the bat – take in consideration scaling, school rank, year-by-year performance etc. The only thing you can never calculate is the adolescent ego.

3) iselect for Universities: Compare and categorise from location, courses, entertainment (bars, night life) and of course % of attractive people on campus. Because the last would totally work and I’d have to pivot into campusfriendfinder.com

4) Crowdsourced platform/app to determine where parking officers are. Great hyperlocal app, tightnit community – until they officers start going undercover and sending bogus facts! (Or we get shut down)

5) Invest time in finding/learning a good, lean calendar app that syncs with any.DO. Any.DO is my GTD tasks app – it’s amazing, but I wish it had an in-built calendar feature that was as lean and simplistic as the app itself. Every other calendar app is needlessly bloated (though I don’t think they meant it).

6) Mobile app that allows you to mind map ideas easily and efficiently. Obviously not a big pain point here, can sell with a higher price point but damn I would love to find/dev an app that can elucidate my ideas in visual form…

7) The Airbnb of tutors & mentors. Maybe they don’t want money in exchange.

8) Mobile app that gives you real life data on where your overseas package is during the delivery cycle. Because I’m getting quite anxious about mine. Long distance does the heart great pains.

9) Really understand what Elliot Hulse meant by ‘Breathing into your balls’. Great philosopher – I really need to work on my nerves getting the better of my judgment.

10) For vanity reasons, do 8 minute arms every morning. While we’re at it, breakfast menu: 4 eggs, a banana and lots of pepper. The fact that I start my day swole and filled with natural Oxycontin could be revolutionary.

Ideas for 29/10/2013

1) Need an hour of silence every day to just think of stuff and sort my head out. Found out my brain works like The Flash. Too much things happening too quickly. I need time to just sit my ass down and collect all my thoughts

2) Earphones block out my brain to the world. I’m a terrible multitasker and even worse at absorbing the environment when I’m listening to anything. In order to get ideas, I have to get curious about my surroundings – can’t do that when I’m rapping along Jay-Z all the way down the road.

3) Need to research more on the NBN. More of a task, but I found I know next-to-nothing about the biggest technological initiative in Australia.

4) WHAT ARE MY FAVORITE THINGS IN THE WORLD? Jesus, Comics & Pop Culture, Fitness and Entrepreneurship

5) LEARN HOW TO PRIORITISE THE IMPORTANT THINGS AND ZERO TASK THE HELL OUT OF IT BEFORE MOVING ON. None of this “I’ll do a little bit here, stop, look at my facebook or check my messages, and then go back to it.” When I start something, I finish it. Doesn’t help that I have two monitors, a smartphone and an iPad on my table daily.

6) Airbnb for personal trainers! But the pain-point isn’t strong enough! Not until the world truly depends on a personal trainers to save them from extinction!

7) Heavy Duty socks for martial artists so they don’t get split skin/blisters on the balls of their skin. Whether it’s on the mat, carpet, grass, eventually pivoting on the the balls of your feet so you can do 100x kicks Bruce Lee style will net you some mean feet sores. RND will involve finding a product that compresses feet (prevent pain from accidentally slapping the other person’s knee/leg when kicking) and internal non-blister soles (because if you wore socks while doing this, you’d get shredded also)

I think I hit seven.

Ideas for 28/10/2013

1) Uber’s app (drivers, not customers) has such an awesome interface. So much so that other taxi and service provider apps that require a subcontracted party are starting to use it. The Maps screen and simplistic work triggers are something that can inspire a better version of the Mechanio mobile app, currently under in development

2) Accept there are somethings that you cannot change no matter how hard you will it; find that peace – because it’s actually a good thing. You don’t need the baggage of yesterday or the anxiety of tomorrow #pretentiousphilosophy

3) Waking up before 8AM may have it’s benefits. Such as getting another hour or so worth of reading done.

4) Find the best Car Magazines/books/manuals/forums to learn. So far: motor, wheels, fast fours. Need to talk to more people who are passionate in cars

5) Twitter is full of ideas. Using keyword searches such as “I wish I had” “I just paid someone for” “is the worst product” “is a horrible company” “has a terrible website” “my favorite website” “does anyone know how”

6) Summarise 10 ideas at the end of every night on your blog. I’m doing that now. Update Reading list. Need an overhaul.

7) WILL PEOPLE PAY FOR SPERM SAMPLES IN SYDNEY? (question from twitter – thought it’d be a messy startup idea) Now I’ve ended up researching places where I can donate sperm. They get reimbursed pretty well. Need to look for complications in that. Like:

WHAT DO I DO AFTER I’VE GOTTEN 30 VIALS OF FROZEN SWIMMERS. HOW DO I GIVE IT TO FAMILIES I NEED? SHOULD WE AUCTION THEM? HOW DO I GET PASS LEGAL REASONS (IT’S ILLEGAL TO PAY FOR SPERM), AND MOST IMPORTANTLY HOW DO I DO IT WITHOUT GIGGLING LIKE A GIRL AND MAKING CRASS JOKES?

8) WE NEED A WONDER DRUG THAT CURES HANGOVERS, INSTANTLY. OR MAKES YOU IMMUNE TO DRUNKEDNESS FOR A PERIOD OF TIME. WE SHOULD CALL THAT ONE ‘HERO DRINK’.

9) Buy two less comic titles every week and buy a proper book off Amazon Kindle or BD. The corollary is that I practice leanness in my life and am enriching my other interests which I’ve neglected pretty badly thus far.

10) Aleph is possibly the most badass name for a son. Until mum says it. It sounds like ‘Ah-lepp’, or Alex. It means Alpha in old Hebrew, which means ‘Alpha’, and it’s basic glyph is an Ox Head. I’m setting up for success here.
