Inspired by this talk about ideas, I have created the Idea Exchange Rate.
As the site explains, since British ideas are “ten-a-penny”, and US ideas are “a-dime-a-dozen”, we can calculate an accurate exchange rate between British ideas and US ideas. I anticipate this becoming a very important metric for pan-Atlantic intellectual property negotiations.
An idea I suggested in a Slashdot comment over a year ago goes on to win a Time Magazine Best Inventions 2006 award. Typical.
Yes, yes, I know, ideas are ten a penny, and the value’s in the execution not the concept. Still, I like to keep track of these little non-victories.
So there’s a machine you can buy that lets you take coffee grounds and turn them into one of those one-cup ‘pods’ that you can put into special coffee makers. You know, those expensive special coffee makers that takes those special proprietary ‘pods’ instead of ordinary coffee, so that you can make coffee without the hassle of dealing with coffee grounds.
Wait, what?
Aurgh! The ruler I
Use to scratch myself, I just
Put it in my mouth.
