Wouldn't It Be Cool

I call them my 'Wouldn't It Be Cool' moments. Those brief flashes of an idea that come and go through the course of a day. We all have these moments when we think to ourselves 'Wouldn't it be cool if... there was a body sponge that would dispense my body wash'.

We have two options when these moments come along. We can either:

(a) Let it fade away only to see that idea come to
fruition years later at the hands of someone else.

or

(b) Do something. Do anything.
Google your idea to see if it exists.

If it does exist, can you do it better.
If it doesn't, how will you make it a reality?

Archimedes didn't just yell 'Eureka!' and then continue with his bubble bath. He ran through the streets exclaiming his discovery. Naked.

And so, the purpose of this blog is to post the 'Wouldn't It Be Cool' moments other people have had and what has come of them. These may be posts on a new gadget, a breakthrough in technology, a book, tv show or movie. Anything I deem to be cool.

I'm sure there will be some other things in there too, like how much I hate Dane Cook.
