Launch Objects into Space

Much like the child who cannonballs into a pool to create the largest splash, fluid action can be used to transfer energy from a larger object to a smaller one. I propose building a gigantic cave in the Earth. Two tube-shaped tunnels can be bored vertically into the cave. One tunnel should be significantly larger than the other. An immense weight can be hauled up, suspended, above the large tube. A smaller object can be placed snugly inside the smaller tube. When the large weight is dropped, it accelerates and enters the large tube, displacing a tremendous amount of air. With no where to go, the air will drive the small object up the small tube and, hopefully, into Earth orbit.

Facebook Should Buy Craigslist

About 6 years ago, I attempted to build a Social Media site that combined all the beautiful parts of MySpace with all the best parts of Craigslist. It was awesome.... to the degree that I was ever the only member. What I thought brilliant of my idea was that it leant credibility to the items listed for sale to have the persons Social Media account bound to the item.

If Facebook were to buy Craigslist, they could put Craigslist Items on an "Items for sale by me" page. Craigslist could add credibility to it's listings by verifying the person's identity with their Facebook account. If someone ripped you off by selling you a car with a Lien on the title, you could track them down through their friends list. Also, when you posted an item for sale, you could send it instantly to all the friends on your friends list.

End the Federal Reserve System

End the Federal Reserve System

"If the America people ever allow private banks to control the issuance of their currencies, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all their prosperity until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered."

-Thomas Jefferson, 1802

Solar Powered Mercury Motor

Create little pistons filled with mercury. Place the pistons vertically on a spinnable disk. Focos the suns light from several mirrors onto a single section of the disk. The light will heat the Mercury. The mercury will push the pistons up. Take the force from the rising pistons and apply it mechanically to spin the disk.

Digital Photo Frame

We need a wifi Digital Photo frame that automatically syncs up with Facebook to show your Facebook albums.

Easy Economy Fix

Quite the opposite of creating a tariff to make imported goods more expensive, I have a theory the Gov could buy down the price of American goods being exported to make them cheaper overseas. Thus, increasing exports, eliminating the trade deficit, and creating jobs in one sweep.

Code Snippets Anywhere

I think it would be a good idea to create a site (call it MyScripts.com) or something, where you can paste code snippets. The site will return a javascript you can embed in any blog or site. Essentially, it would be a site that lets you embed formatted code snippets on blogs that don't have any script formatting styles defined.
