My ideas, stolen again.

(Okay, not really.)

About a year ago when I was noticing the billions of condos being built on the lakeshore, I thought it sad that only half of the residences have a lake view. I thought, hey - why don't they make a building that rotates a quarter turn every week, so that everyone can share the view?

An Italian architect is working on a very souped-up version of this, and it will be built in Dubai, naturally.

Online Graffiti

This is far too amusing... go to paintthatshitgold.com then enter whatever website you like.

It lets you use gold (or silver or black) spraypaint or marker to deface the website.

Childish? Yes! Hilarious? Yes! Something funny to leave on coworkers screens if they leave their computer unlocked? Muah ha ha haaaaaa...

this note will self destruct....

Xerox has invented a special new paper. You print on it, read the print, then toss it in a stack... and print on it again in 24 hours after the ink has disappeared.

Funny, I was discussing self destructing books with an author just a few days ago. Since avid readers are always facing bookshelf issues, books should self destruct in two years. That's plenty of time to read, reread, and pass the book around to friends.
