Some people wear their heart on their sleeve, others wear their face on their heart. At least, that's what Jeff Woodrow is hoping. Think world peace could start with a T-shirt? Lend us your thumbs and let us know.
It's a full-service pharmacy that makes your prescriptions palatable. So, consider cough syrup, Ritalin, and birth control, fashioned into puddings, freezies, and lollypops. That's some good eating for a Prozac Nation.
Ron Gonen wants to pay you to recycle. Sounds good to me, but you be the judge. Give this a thumb, send us your thoughts, and check out Recyclebank, which is already operating in Delaware, Phillie and New Jersey. They're coming to Canada--might just need a lobbying force...
Welcome home. I'm glad to see you. This week, we've got the Fab Tree Hab on offer, in living colour, and we're waiting on your thoughts. Give it a thumb and, if you'd like to lobby Dr. J for one of your own, check out the terREform website. Also, head to Ideas on Consignment, where the nascent revolution continues. And, while I have you, have I told you how great you look in that shirt? You look great in everything you put on, but this shirt is something else. If this shirt were a person, it would tell you to hand over a thumb. I'm just saying...
And, we're back. Ideas abound, and here's one for your consideration: The Velomobile. We call it mellow velo... Give it a watch, a thumb (see fists below), and a comment, if you're inclined.
That's what we'd like to know. Good idea -- sliced bread. Bad idea -- Gary, Indiana.
We're building a tally of the best and worst ideas around, and the power, my friends, is in your hands.
An idea a week for your viewing pleasure, and all we ask is that you weigh in with your thoughts, your thumbs, and with what I should eat for lunch, because the food in this place is killing me. killing. me.
This week, we've got cremains in space. If you're into space, and NASA's not interested, this is worth looking into.
James "Scotty" Doohan did it; so did famous astronaut Gordon Connor; and, of course, Gene "Creator of Star Trek" Roddenberry really did it. Hunter S. Thompson got part way there with a cannon-it's not the same thing, but an A for effort, if not execution.
Is this a good idea?
Take a look and thumb it. (The thumbs are attached to the fists under this posting.)
And, while you're here, a huge thank you to Porter Airlines--the best bathrooms in the sky. Really, though, thank you Porter.
As Canada's first person in space, we felt Marc Garneau should continue his string of firsts by being our first celebrity blogger. We also thought, having been to space, he might have some solid advice about spending an eternity there. What a great guy. Here are his thoughts on Starburst Memorials:
"I think it's a great idea. It's a romantic way to go, so why not? (After all, some people have their ashes scattered at sea or from airplanes.) Gene Rodenberry, or rather, Gene Roddenberry's ashes, went on a more poweful rocket and orbited Earth for years.
Canadian scientist, Gerry Bull, was the first person to fire large bullets into space from a really big gun. No problem, if you can withstand an incredible amount of Gs (not good if you're alive and kicking, but easy for a can of ashes). The Starburst projectile speed is not great enough to achieve orbit...so the ashes are not actually orbiting Earth like a spacecraft, although the wind could carry them for a long distance after they're released. The good news is, no space debris.
With apologies to John Prine, 'Give my knees to the needy and kiss my ashes goodbye.'"
