Basically, chopped for interior designers. Instead of food ingredients like on the popular TV cooking show, they are given a blank space and a bunch of random furniture items. They have to use these items to manufacture the best themed living room, dining room, etc. possible. Lots of potential here too for marketing and partnerships with the items that are used.

A spin on the popular cooking show "Chopped," except for very bad chefs. Terrible, terrible cooks are given random ingredients and forced to make the best dish they can out of it. We'll see what kind of terrible creations they come up with. Can’t wait to see the judges be forced to eat it. 

A gambling app that allows friends to bet with each other, on anything, for money. It could be linked to Venmo, and all gamblers would have to validate a third party to regulate the bet. They could then make a custom bet...Will “Steve” show up tonight? Can Jim make this 3-pointer, etc. Once the amount and bet are validated, the regulator, who is agreed upon by all members of the group, enters the result. Yes, Steve showed up and yes, Jim made the 3-pointer...bets would then be automatically squared by pulling from the gamblers’ venmo account for example. The app could take 10 cents on the dollar for profit.

Now I’m not a successful businessperson, but if I were I wouldn’t want to waste layover time at airports. This is an app that would function like Tinder. A user, said business person, could enter their field of expertise along with what they would want out of a potential networking opportunity. When they are stuck in a terminal for a couple hours and want to go have a drink, they can log onto the app and see if there is anyone else in their field nearby also wanting to maximize this waiting time. 

Not sure if this is within the parameters of technology, but given that we can land on rocks in space it has to be possible. An app that emits a default message to those trying to call or text you, saying that your phone is dead so they can stop worrying....mom.

This would be very controversial, which is why it’s just a crazy idea and nothing more. Basically, yes two people are equal hence their votes should be counted the same. That makes sense. But it also makes sense that politicians have a greater affect on the young, as they statistically have longer to live and either benefit from or suffer because of the policies which are in place. What if a vote was some sort of factor of age? A 90 year-old’s vote would note be weighted quite as heavily as that of a 30 year-old, given that, well, they probably won’t be around the same amount of time. This could be backed heavily by life expectancy data to ensure it’s fair, and any 70 year-old complaining that their vote is weakening would have to check themselves, as they were once younger with a heavier vote. I guess the only down side is that we are all constantly evolving and a variance in opinion is healthy...rather than having one demographic dictate an election. Food for thought though, there is something there. 

There is so much about my family I don’t know, which is probably a good thing. I’m reminded of this every time I see a distant relative and hear some new story about a different family member I had never heard. This idea is for a centralized platform, essentially a communal blog, that allows authorized users (family members) to post anecdotes, stories, and memories to be organized and archived for years to come. Imagine how interesting this would be to future generations, being able to go to one central place to read about relatives they know little about. 

It’s sad that there is actually a need for this, but it’s true that some people don’t have the time, energy, or creativity to come up with a nice card for someone else. This is an idea for a website that could generate prompts or card ideas for those struggling. Maybe you can customize the name or image. They could then just print the card, save a little money, and have more options than at Hallmark. This probably exists, but throwing it out there just in case.
