He catalogues his thoughts and a periodic system emerges. It is of great help hunting down undiscovered ideas, but he dreads its completion.

the mosquitoes here penetrate skulls to suck ideas↵if you swat one, it’ll leave an ink-black smear of words and images on your palm

I was once bitten by a radioactive idea and now I shoot them out of my fingers

Evolution has made the human skull a near ideal resonator for ideas. Put a few strings on one, play it well, and ghostly dreams will emerge.

“Zggt, making the continents match up in shape was a masterstroke! Their exobiology, it’s all screwy from those plate tectonics ideas!”

The space pirates of Inner Space enter your dreams, make off with your shiny ideas, sail conceptual relationships into raids on faerieland

Speak into this little box here to start the engine. If your idea is any good, its spark should ignite the fuel-soul mixture and off you go.

You can explore dreamtime in a bathysphere, dreamproof and designed to withstand great pressure. Or go native, grow gills, breathe ideas.

Old idea of mine whose time may have come: VR/AR overlay that lets you spam virtual graffiti and imaginary buildings

the coffee is so strong that it recoils from my lips↵so full of ideas that it’s sentient, wants to keep them, doesn’t want to be drunk

Hey I wonder if I can open my ear with that–↵↵[this is my ghost speaking on my behalf: sorry for the mess, that was a stupid idea]

A heavy cable is hanging from that storm cloud, ending in a power plug at my feet. I feel like it’s a bad idea to unplug it right now.

ideas rust when stored improperly. put them out while they’re fresh and gleaming.

ism (v)↵not only having an idea, but writing the book on it, founding a movement↵”I had this great idea but some guys ism’d it in the 19th”

@dracoblue@dracoblue.net I’m not sure if i’m ready to document the streaming interface, i’m still playing with different ideas.

@mylesb Nice idea!

@dracoblue@dracoblue.net Sorry, but what tweet are you referring to? I have no idea what sounds great… We need a way to reference tweets!

I think we sometimes forget that even with all the advanced web technologies, you can still share your ideas with a simple text file.

@kas@enotty.dk Great Idea! I wouldn’t worry about the file size. Content-Encoding gzip should get you a very good compression rate.

Or we can use it to refback. Every time you mention somebody you send a HEAD with your twturl in the referer to her adddress. Any ideas?

someone with write access to the platonic realm put it there but somehow you think it’s a good idea to solve the labyrinth

Idea: Cohesive communities are the villages of cyberspace, pluralistic sprawls like twitter/FB the cities. It’s a difference in philosophy.

Does anybody have a good idea for a default color set? I used the first color that crossed my mind, so the default theme is rather ugly.

He sells them in sets of five, together with ideas for rituals. Priests are encouraged to trade their temples and find new ways of worship.

We just started to watch The West Wing a week ago. No idea how I could have overlooked it for 17 years, it’s so good!

[go through all possible permutations of a small amount of ideas]

Atoms are small but are a big idea. More exotic are the large things that are small ideas: you could be bathing in them and not know.

other bot idea: https://twitter.com/allgebrah/status/698488822892519425↵tweet gibberish at it and it will try to find it in the noise.

bot idea: crop circle generator↵bonus if the circles can encode ~140 bytes (yes, that won’t fit some unicode tweets)

I had an interesting idea. What if you mashed up tor hidden services and @twtxt?

horror vacui’s obscure sibling, horror abundantis: the writer’s ideas pile up against the mind’s floodgates and they can’t write fast enough

This premise resulted in way too many ideas to post to twitter:↵http://www.synkretie.net/writings/world%20building%20-%20flat%20earth.html↵I think I shall do this for more ideas from now on.

Coding while suffering a hangover is a bad idea

By some fluke of fate, I must’ve ended up being the one free instance. Or maybe their idea of torture is just very subtle.

Idea: Find a heisenbug via binary search. Insert debug instrumentation across only half the output, run, repeat. May be multicausal though.

Finding the right community is a journey: How do two people find out to lack the same idea if they cannot articulate it or even think it?

Those affected became unable to think certain thoughts: if they so much as resembled the killed idea, they fizzled.

All we knew was that the virus acted very specifically: it took out an idea, excised it from the mind, and left a taboo in its stead.

Humans dance their bodies around things to infuse them with meaning, e.g. a sacrificial fire↵They do the same dance with words, around ideas

song idea: Little Fluffy Clouds, but set in Hell↵nothing remains but the rhythm, and souls scratch feebly on the inner surface of the sound

Presidential Elections 2016
Back in 2011 was the last time I wrote about Presidential Elections (2012). I can’t believe we are about to get into them again. In 2012 I knew exactly who to vote for, but in 2016, with the selection we have thus far, I really have no idea about who is the most viable—if there is one. Certainly not [this one](http://ballotpedia.org/Donald_Trump_presid … ⌘ Read more

From an old ideas file I found: If I ever establish my own micronation, declare a fractal exclusive fishing zone.

Idea: Twitter wall + text2speech + autotune

Nice Idea but I don’t believe this belongs to the database. https://t.co/Uy1wiVBNNz

No you can not skip qml if you plan to use qtquick. Without qtquick you don’t get the nice animations etc. Yes you can write the business logic in some other language, but it is also possible to write it in JS instead. Especially with small simple apps is probably a good idea using … ⌘ Read more

I don’t know about that, I guess the combination of it both is Quite a good idea… Cause you can easily see that 13.10 is newer than13.04, you can’t see that from raring ringtail and saucy salamander… Unless you know its alphabeticaly. And in non english speaking countrys … ⌘ Read more

BBC NEWS: Business: Bill Gates: The skills you need to succeed

A lot of people assume that creating software is purely a solitary activity where you sit in an office with the door closed all day and write lots of code.

This isn’t true at all.

Software innovation, like almost every other kind of innovation, requires the ability to collaborate and share ideas with other people, and to sit down and talk with cu … ⌘ Read more
