Ideas
Apparently Kam has known about the halfbakery for a while, but I don't think I've encountered it before. It's lovely. It's a forum for presenting and discussing all sorts of half-baked (and in some cases nearly full-baked, but often not at all baked) ideas. Some of the ideas presented there include:
- jelly doughnuts with coffee-flavored jelly inside
- vegetarian (perhaps tofu) version of human flesh
- a system for drivers to rate each others' driving in realtime
- solar-powered AI traffic cones that find holes in the road and gather around them
- and a whole bunch of very entertaining ideas for condoms, including the dorsal fin condom, the homing condom (someone suggests adding GPS, and notes: "GPS is to ideas what 'in bed' is to fortunes..."), and of course the exploding condom.
You can vote for and against ideas, and post comments, and there are sometimes interesting-looking related links which I haven't followed.
Kinda like a cross between slashdot and Idea Futures/Foresight Exchange. Well, okay, not really, I just thought that sounded cool.
