put your great ideas here. if you don't have the time, someone else can realize them!

this thread is for inspiration

i'll go first. i've got this book with some ideas of mine. one is a science experiment, another is a mathematical theorem, and yet another is about pedagogy. they're written as (somewhat) serious articles, but now i want to use this book for something quite different. my new plan is to bring the book along to school and gatherings, and let people i meet write in it. i'll write down the date, time and a short description of the event, and let people write or draw whatever they like. when the book is full, i'll store it. in the future, i'll show it to the people that contributed, just read it myself, or show it to random people. it'll be a public diary

it's a loosly defined program for learning adobe flash. the idea is to make a game from scratch. i've talked to the teacher, so we will be doing this

nothing is wrong - what are you scared of?
Well I have plans for two books so far.. though the only change they might make in the world is a few trees pulverized and some ink scattered in very uniform patterns, they will still change the world at least a little bit!

1: Travel Journal/Cookbook/Poetry Book

Featuring photographs taken with a Holga of people that I will stay with across the US (if it works, then i might go INTERNATIONAL) , found through www.Couchsurfing.com, and their delicious home-made recipes that they might want to share with the world. I will want to do this in a journal format including poetry, drawings, snapshots, and recipes. I think it will be a very personal project and It has enough of a unique nook of interestingness that it might actually work!

2: What Rock Stacking Means To Me (not the title)

I want to write about rock stacking and the reasons why I do it. It will be a small insight to the purpose of stacking rocks for the sake of stillness and finding yourself in natural wonder. I want to include photos taken that relate to rock stacking, most likely taken with a holga :P

If anyone wants to be a part of #1 just let me know! I don't really know when this plan will take life, but I'm excited/scared to begin :D
