Mobile Elevators
Perhaps a workable element of a sci-fi story, but something that would be pretty cool in real life, too. Elevators that go up and down through buildings, as usual, but that also settle into trams that travel horizontally from building to building. Basically, a combination elevator and subway -- though the trams could be at … Continue reading Mobile Elevators
The Solution to Loans and Interest

And most understand and accept that interest is, ultimately, just the fee you pay to … Continue reading The Solution to Loans and Interest

Follow them as they settle … Continue reading Reality Show Idea: House Swap

Brooklyn Nine-Nine Spinoff
I recently finished watching Brooklyn Nine-Nine, and really enjoyed it. What we need now is a Diaz Investigations (or maybe Rosa Diaz, P.I.) spinoff. Still a comedy with both wacky potential and social issue opportunities, but centered on a proud, strong, smart, capable, bisexual Latina. She would regularly work cases with the NYPD, as they … Continue reading Brooklyn Nine-Nine Spinoff
Mac n Cheese Cones
Bread or cracker-like cones made with various savory flavors and textures: pita-like or crispy with various cheese, garlic, herb, veggie, bacon, or other mac n cheese-complementing flavors. Fill the cone with one or more custom flavors of mac n cheese made with different cheese and noodle combinations. Mix in and or top with sprinkles of … Continue reading Mac n Cheese Cones
