Recent ideas, June 7-8
- Idea for a shirt to sell at the likes of Hot Topic: black, with distressed white lettering, "Falling through the cracks ... Just like you." -- After observing several disaffected-looking youths wandering aimlessly through various crowded scenarios (mall, church potluck) last weekend.
- Idea for a form of cryptography: My cell phone's adaptive text messaging ability suggests words that you might mean as you begin to build a word from its numeric keypad. Alternatively, you can hold the down arrow key and a larger list of possible words will pop up. Sometimes multiple words use the same keypresses ("of" and "me", and "if" and "he", are two pairs that trip me up a lot). Often, the first one or several suggested words will be nonsense, but will tend to stay in the menu anyway. So my cryptography idea is this: Compose a message using those nonsense words. To decode it, the recipient must have the same kind of phone, or at least the same adaptive text engine. They then type the nonsense word into their phone, and bring up the popup list of alternatives, scanning it for sensical entries.
- Using my last.fm journal for writing about music and documenting my album purchases.
- Straightening my hair and growing it out long ... just so I can post unexpected pics to the Men's Long Hair Hyperboard where my sister has enjoyed lurking for years. xD
- Securing a web domain, with my family surname, to act as a central place for an extended genealogy project; another project where we'd scan, tag and display all our years and years of family photo albums; provide surnamed e-mail addresses; maybe host blogs/a forum/a wiki/who knows what else?
