Another billion dollar idea here folks.

Currently, I am reading a hard cover book that is nearly 1000 pages long. Amazon pegs its weight at 2.8 pounds. Now that’s a hefty chunk of words to be throwing in my messenger bag and toting around all day to read on the MAX or at lunch.

So, here it is. Sliced Books. Allow me to purchase a volume where the binding is designed to cleanly separate into more manageable chunks - 100 pages or so. Then, I can just grab the volume that I am on, and am good to go.

As always, if you are a book publisher and you use this idea, I want my vig!

I would like to see an application for the iPhone/iPod Touch called “Keep The Party Going”.

When your mobile device pauses a song and its on its home wifi network (example: you just walked in the door, and hit pause on your iPod) it should signal iTunes on a designated machine to start playing where the iPod left off.

I want this app to be free, so in lieu of my vig, you can just credit me. Otherwise standard million dollars and controlling ownership of your company is just fine.

As I was reading this story over at What Would Tyler Durden Do? about Tobey Maguire sitting in his car getting blinded by camera flashes, it struck me. Instead of sitting there patiently until you lose it, why not fight back? Install super bright flash lights on the exterior of your car and start flashing back. You know, like a million candle power bright. The kind of bright that makes the back of your eyeballs hurt. As they stand there stunned/clawing at their retinas, you drive peacefully away.

Remember, if you turn this into a million dollar idea, I want my vig.

When you take this idea and make a million dollar company from it, just remember to give me my vig.

Setup some applescript to do two things:

1. Fire off an audible alarm. delegate to the Alarm Clock app most likely.
2. If script is not killed within 10 minutes or so, start Twittering embarrassing personal info into the ether.
